Crowe Interact Club activities and hosting students in the District Youth Exchange program. Community Service programs included local highway cleanup, the annual Carol Fest in support of the local Salvation Army Christmas Hamper fund, providing emergency comfort funding for patients in the Daly Pavilion of the Trail Regional Hospital and annual scholarships for graduating students.

We are grateful to Friends of Rotary who assist with our many tasks.
