Community Service

“Service Above Self” is the well-known motto of Rotarians. This committee engages Rotarians on service to the community with activities planned throughout the year. Many of our service activities are in promotion of the well-being of the environment (such as Clean the Bay Day) or the plantings at the Norfolk Botanical Garden and the Virginia Tech Extension Center. Other activities include a day at the Foodbank. The committee identifies potential service to our community, reaches out to the organization involved and coordinates the workday (generally three hours in the morning). The committee also documents the club participation which is a part of the District Award criteria.
