Rotary is a service club that works alongside the Columbia Rotary/ Interact Club. We do community service projects and host events that bring awareness to and attempt to combat variable issues. We hold meetings to discuss possible service opportunities and set dates and plan events accordingly. Past projects include helping out at the Food Bank, delivering baked goods to local police and fire stations, and starting the first annual Menstrual Health Day Walk. Meetings and events are a lot of fun and a great way to get involved at Rock Bridge and the community!
