Do you have a community event that you would like to help sponsor, is there a local NFP that is in need of money and a few volunteers, what about a sign that says Please Drive Safe at a busy crosswalk with the Rotary Wheel logo, perhaps a youth advocacy agency needs supplies, or a Veterans Club needs non perishable food items.... the possibilities are endless. What is your passion in your local community, where do you want to embody Service Above Self?
Collaborate with a few of your Club members, seek out one potential Rotarian and cause, and complete the above form. It's as easy as that!
All questions, suggestions, and concerns may be addressed to me (michelestarwaltwoodsrotarian@gmail.com).
Thank you for your commitment to Service Above Self!

Margot Rae (Waterdown) Rotary) is excited for this new Rotarian opportunity and was one of the first Rotarians to complete the $350 project request.

A little bit about Margot's proposed project, "As a newer member of Rotary, my goal is to start a Festival of Trees community-based fundraising initiative in partnership with the local BIA. Proceeds from the fundraiser would be earmarked for a local NFP - Food for Kids."
Margot goes on to say, "It is my hope that this project will be a yearly event. Year One we would offer family friendly activities and a gala with a Silent Auction. We would seek sponsorship and contributions from local businesses and foster community pride and spirit."
Our District Membership team has noticed that there are dozens of vibrant, eager, and outstanding new Rotarians who want to become more involved in their communities and their Clubs. Sooooo..... do we have an offer for you!
