Join our causes as we group together to make a difference in our district with all clubs participating in our (5) Focus Projects:  Environment, Membership, PeaceBuilder District at 100%,  Rotary Leadership Institute, and the Rotary Foundation.

NOVEMBER is:  FOUNDATION MONTH

This month, we celebrate the incredible impact of the Rotary Foundation, which began in 1928 with an idea that Cleveland Rotarian Arch Klumph had and the first humble donation of $26.50 from the Kansas City Rotary Club. Since then, the Foundation has grown into a powerful force for good—supporting global efforts in sustaining the environment, peacebuilding, disease prevention, clean water, education, and more.
TIME TO TAKE THE 4-WAY TEST TO SCHOOLS! 
Every year we bring the 4-Way test to our local high schools to ask students to argue a topic up against this test of the things we think, do and say. Introducing the 4-Way Test to young people will help more and more people to apply its important principles to their own lives with the ultimate goal being to make the world a better place.
