You’ll also be an ambassador, teaching people you meet about your country, culture, and ideas. You can help bring the world closer – and make some good friends in the process.
Does this experience excite you? Contact the Rotary for more information.
Reaching Out
The purpose of this program, sponsored by our club, is to assist young people who cannot participate in developing talents and life long interests because of the family financial situation.
