International

The Fourth Avenue of Service

To encourage and foster the advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional people united in the ideals of service through active support of projects and programs that make the world a better place to live.

The International Service Committee provides assistance and guidance to clubs seeking to perform international service projects and manages the work of the subcommittees that report to it.

We have an incredible district with Rotarians truly 'saving and changing lives' each and every day. Join the fun....either start or participate in a humanitarian project, Experience the friendship of a fellow Rotarian in another country, learn about the culture..first hand. Feel the gratification of receiving far more than you gave while responding to the basic needs a small child who simply smile and gave YOU the hug.

Encourage your club to participate in one of Rotary’s excellent exchange programs.  Fulfill the dreams and hopes of those in need by participating in the Matching Grants program of The Rotary Foundation.  Follow your Rotary dream for world peace and understanding.
