The charter for Anchorage Hillside Rotary
Club was signed by the RI president on
November 6, 1984. The celebration meeting was held on November 17,
1984 at the Upper One Restaurant. For you cheechakos, the
Upper One was located at Anchorage International Airport and was one of the
nicer places to dine in Anchorage. Click the

The Club has had three meeting places during
its' existence. The first meeting place was Denny's
Restaurant on Dimond, the second meeting place was O'Malley's On
The Green restaurant located at the Anchorage Golf Course and our current meeting
place is the Peppermill Restaurant.
Our biggest fund raiser is the Moose Marble Madness (MMM)
raffle. Started in 1989, this raffle has annually provided
$13,500.00 in donations to the American Diabetes Association
($6,500.00 annually) and other local
charities.
