Weekly raffles are held during club meetings to supplement fund raising for Rotary Foundation, Rotary’s own charity. We aim to contribute $100 per member for this worthwhile cause; Whether it’s eradicating polio, digging water wells, or educating a scholar in peace and conflict resolution, Rotary and Foundation creates the environment and circumstances to promote peace throughout the world in an effective and efficient way.
