Community Service in District 6400

Community service responds to the needs of a local community.
Rotary clubs should determine top priorities for service projects by first learning about a community's needs and assets,
and then developing a response that addresses them.

An effective service project:
Responds to a real issue, not an imagined one.
Improves the lives of community members.
Incorporates the abilities of those who are served.
Recognizes all participants' contributions as important and necessary.
Comes from a realistic assessment of resources available.
Aims for specific goals and objectives with measurable results.
Builds a working network


Our Rotary Clubs either carry out or support many local community projects
