Community Service - Revised 2/21/09

Community service responds to the needs of a local community.
Rotary clubs should determine top priorities for service projects by first learning about a community's needs and assets, and then developing a response that addresses them.


Our Rotary Clubs carry out or support many local community projects
The long list below is just some of the projects that clubs have done in the recent  past.
