Program Plan

Our Rotary Club is committed to building goodwill and better friendships. Not only do we contribute to Rotary Internationals mission of eradicating polio and providing clean water and sanitation to Ghana and other countries, but we focus or efforts on the needs at home too. Annually our club supports an area school by providing classroom supplies to area teachers. Over the last two years, the club adopted Burlington United Methodist Children’s home and provided pajamas, books, movies, and board games to the children there. For nearly a decade, the club has held their annual Dave Langford Food Drive by providing monetary donations to area food banks in March of every year.

Outside of these main annual events, the club supports other projects that promote and uplift youth in our community. We have proudly supported CauseACon each year as a sponsor. We continue to work to make our world a better place by giving ourselves.
