The Five Avenues of Services

Posted by Renee Goodwin on May 25, 2014

         Stafford Rotary now has "Five Avenues of Service" rather than four. "New Generations Service" is now joining "Club Service," "Vocational Service," "Community Service" and "International Service." 

 

The fifth Avenue of Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities, involvement in community and international service projects, and exchange programs that enrich and foster world peace and cultural understanding. 

 

Looking for more information? Visit our website http://www.clubrunner.ca/Stafford  or come join us at Sun Valley at 6:00p.m. on any Wednesday. Feel free to contact our Stafford Rotary President, Ilene Whitmarsh c21ilw@aol.com
