Activities 2011-12

Your annual gift to The Rotary Foundation of RI helps promote world understanding and peace through countless local, national, and international humanitarian, education, and cultural programs. Just imagine what could be accomplished if every Rotarian contributed $100, every year. Last year (10-11) we contributed $100 per person. We have been a Star Club for three years running.

Rotarians - take advantage of matching funds
from the local club and the district
when making your contribution to Rotary International

(please take care of this by the second week in June)
