Rotary club of Deer Park WA
Celebrates Rotary's local and International club founding
This year, Deer Park Rotary a 501c3 celebrates its 30th Anniversary and Rotary International's its 105th Anniversary by providing $10,500 of purchasing power for the local food banks serving Elk, Deer Park, and Loon Lake/Springdale. In January, when our community has the greatest need, the entire club voted to donate $1,050 cash above our normal yearly support. In this community at this time, we wanted to help our neighbors in need.
Our local community service projects have cleaned up our neighborhoods repairing and improving many of the local parks and schools. It is our privilege to be contributing to youth literacy, and college scholarships for local students and supporting our service men away from their families.
