Service Projects 

Rotary is where neighbors, friends, and problem-solvers share ideas, join leaders, and take action to create lasting change.

Through Rotary clubs, people from all continents and cultures come together to exchange ideas, and form friendships and professional connections while making a difference in their backyards and around the world.

Club activities, social events, and volunteer projects offer networking opportunities that build personal and professional connections. And Rotarians can extend those networks by visiting other clubs around the globe.
​
Since November of 2016 - less than a month after the club's charter by Rotary International - we have completed these service projects in the Clark County community.
