The Board of Directors consists of community volunteers that share a common goal of supporting small community projects and higher education goals of our young community members and future community leaders.

The Groton Community Club was originally a Parent/School club like a PTA. When the national PTA became an official organization and started requiring membership dues and adopted specific rules, the Groton group broke off and formed the Community Club to stay independent and flexible to their own school's needs. Today, through their fund raising, they still support scholarships for Groton high school seniors going on to further education. The Community Club meets as needed throughout the year either at Emerson's Logging business or the Upper Valley Grill.

The Groton Community Club sponsors the annual World Famous Chicken Pie Supper during Groton's Fall Foliage Festival. In 2022, The Community Club began hosting a BBQ Chicken Fundraiser in February. The proceeds from these funraisers allow us to help sponsor the town Christmas tree, swimming lessons at Boulder Beach on Lake Groton, library programs at the Groton Public Library, college scholarships to Groton's graduating seniors as well as other projects in the community as resources are available.

The Community Club, realalizing the importance of continuing education and the associated cost, use the proceeds from these events to sponsor scholarshsips for Groton children graduating from Blue Mountain Union School. Each Spring, during Blue Mountain Union Schools's award ceremony, The Groton Community Club presents a scholarship certificate to Groton students which can be redeemed upon their enrollment in a continuing education program.

Community Support

The Groton Community Club has provided support for a number of small, yet important community projects over the years. When the club has resources remaining after we have met our financial obligations, we have purchased, new tables and chairs for the Community Building, Curtains for the Community Building stage, storage area renovations and along with donations from community members, installed flag pole light and power supply at the intersection of Scott Highway and Powder Spring Road. Most recently, we have applied for a grant to have a retractable basketball backboard installed in the Community Building Gym so that the stage can be used for productions again. If any community member has a project to suggest, please let us know.
