Step 12 – Clubs report to their Hubs their monthly investment in service projects and grant activities.  This will help to demonstrate the economic impact of our volunteer service in our community.  Examples include scholarships, four-way test speech contest prizes, sending students to RYLA, school backpack projects, Thanksgiving dinner meals, building ramps, investing in parks, etc..

 

Step 13 – The Club participates in, and/or supports with a donation, the District Polio MotoRide event on Saturday, October 18, 2025.

Please support them when they drive through your community.)

 

Step 14 – Rotarians in the Club participate in a Disaster Response service project if a disaster is declared in our District.
