It’s time to get ready for summer polo season! The Rotary Club of Newport is hosting its annual charity polo match on May 25th at 5 pm at the Newport International Polo Grounds to help fund its scholarship and charitable initiatives.

The gates open at 3 pm, and the 6-chukker showdown is sure to be a classic. The rain date is Sunday, May 26, at 5 p.m.

Admission tickets for the lawn and pavilion will be sold at the gate only. Chalet and tailgate reservations can also be made online in advance and will also be sold at the gate if available.

The Newport Rotary Club is made up of professional leaders and community volunteers who enhance the community through their various projects. They conduct community-focused projects that provide funding and volunteer hours to local non-profits and student scholarships at Rogers High School. The Club is always looking for more volunteers and new members, and they encourage you to attend one of their meetings to learn more about the organization and how to become a member.
