This past Saturday, members of the Rushmore Rotary Club continued their commitment to environmental stewardship through Rotary’s Unite For Water initiative. Volunteers gathered along 44th Street in Rapid City for a hands-on service project focused on both water quality testing and community clean-up efforts.
In celebration of Earth Day, Watertown members and community volunteers came together for a meaningful afternoon of service at Stokes-Thomas Kampeska Lake City Park—removing litter and restoring the natural beauty of Lake Kampeska’s shoreline. Their efforts resulted in an impressive 152 bags of trash collected, a powerful testament to what can be accomplished when a community unites for a common cause.
In celebration of Earth Day, the Marshall Sunrise Rotary Club made a meaningful investment in the community and the environment by purchasing and planting five trees at Legion Field Park. This hands-on service project reflects Rotary’s ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability and community improvement.
In 1995 the Vermillion Rotary Club began a project to give all 2nd graders in the community a free bike helmet. Thirty-two years later, Vermillion Rotary is still handing out free bike helmets. Five 2nd grade classes from Vermillion Public School and one 2nd grade class from St Agnes Elementary, a total of 115 children, received a free bike helmet on Friday, April 24.
