We are proud to partner with other community organizations that share our values. Our annual fundraising, such as the flag program, Breakfast with Santa and others is intended to fund our club projects such as Bikes for Perfect Attendance, Dictionaries for 3rd Graders, End Polio Now, Scholarships, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards and Interact.
We also like to be able to support community agencies whose missions are similar to ours:
- promoting peace and patriotism
- supporting our low-income veterans and seniors
- feeding the hungry
- ending polio and other debilitating disease
- supporting the environment, literacy and youth.
