Rotarians At Work Day 2016

Rotarians At Work Day happens the last Saturday in April each year. Started in 2006 as a joint effort between two Rotary Districts (one in the United States and one in Mexico), Rotarians at Work Day continues to grow. Each year, Clubs around the world identify a hands-on project that all members can participate in to help their local community.

To sign up for a project, click on the project name. Don’t forget to take some pictures and email them in to the Rotary office.
