The Rotary Club LaSalle Centennial not only supports local projects and organizations, we work globally as well. Our own club member, Beyene Haile

Also, while he was there, he distributed soccer jerseys to primary and secondary students that were collected by the LaSalle Interact Club from local organizations. Beyene, a former mayor of the town, was asked to present recognitions to worthy students and was presented with a certificate of appreciation on behalf of himself, the Rotary Club LaSalle Centennial, District 6400, and the LaSalle Interact Club.
