2017 Rotarians at Work Day

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.

Don’t forget to take some pictures and email them in to the Rotary office. Thank you for your participation!
