COMMUNITY SERVICE covers projects and activities the club undertakes to improve life in its community. Every Rotary Club, large or small, in every country is engaged in a community project of some nature. Clubs and members see a need and act. They provide volunteers and/or monetary donations. They also sponsor youth center, Boy and Girl Scout Troops, traffic safety programs, and help with cultural development, community beautification, fire prevention, home safety, or assistance to the aged and infirmed. The list is endless - limited only by the Rotary Club members' imagination and desire to serve.
