The Christmas Store

Truly a community sponsored charity, the Oxford Christmas Store has been providing toys to deserving Lafayette county children for over 30 years.   This year Oxford-Ole Miss Rotary Club members volunteered for everything from toy shopping to data entry!

Adopt-A-Highway

In January of 2008, the Oxford-Ole Miss Rotary Club officially adopted a 2 mile stretch along Highway 6 East.  Our stretch begins just East of the Highway 334 exit and is marked on either end with signs.  Our club is responsible for cleaning our section of the highway quarterly.  The first clean-up day occurred on March 29, 2008 and had a great club member turn out.

4th of July Street Dance Fundraiser

Club members and their families all turn out for this annual event! Working in conjunction with the LOU 4th of July Celebration Street Dance, the Oxford-Ole Miss Rotary Club sells juicy hotdogs, delicious desserts, and refreshing bottled water to party goers to raise money for our various service projects.  This event  always combines fundraising, fellowship, and FUN!

Power Sharing of Knowledge

The sharing of knowledge is one of the most important goals of any Rotarian.  The Oxford-OleMiss Rotary Club helps make a difference by providing magazine and reading material donations to public housing residents in cooperation with The Oxford Housing Authority.
