Rotary is the world's largest service organization with 1.2 million members participating in more than 35,000 clubs in over 200 countries and territories. It is not religious or political but rather is dedicated to improving the lives of people around the world.

Rotary is based on service to others such as the eradication of the disease, polio. Right here in our community the La Junta Rotary Club supports education through a project in which we give dictionaries to every third grader, provide college scholarships, help with homework and tutoring, and sponsor inbound and outbound international exchange students.

Scholarship winners will be announced by Second Wednesday of May and funds made available for the fall semester.
