How We're Helping

We are a community-based organization focused on helping make the world around us a better, happier place. With the help of our tireless members, we organize fundraisers, exciting community-building events, and in-depth training sessions for our volunteers.

As Rotary International members, we abide by the Four-Way Test when evaluating our actions:

Is it the truth?
Is it fair to all concerned?
Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
