Community Service Committee

 Community Service is one of 5 Avenues of Service for Rotarians.  It covers the projects and activities the club undertakes to improve life in its community.

Within the RCNS. the Community Service Committee (CSC) takes the lead for all community service projcets. Committee members evaluate requests from the community for financial and non-financial support. They coordinate local projects with other clubs to get maximum effectiveness and avoid duplication of projects and programs. Members continually assesses local needs and suggest projects for club involvement. The CSC is also concerned with monitoring and improving the quality of the community’s environment and organizes projects to promote envireonmental awareness, conservation, and education.

Community service projects include:

 Waterford Trail - "Like a Bridge Over Muddy Waters"

Saturday Oct 12 saw a hardworking group of Sunrise Rotarians out on the Norfolk Sunrise trial preparing it for winter. They installed rodent protection and mulch around all the new trees and lifted the plants out of the circular garden, installed agricultural cloth and re-planted the shrubs and covered the area with mulch. Lots of work for a dedicated crew. Don't you love to see Rotarians sweat!!

The RCNS is proud to carry on its long tradition of encouraging the importance of Agriculture among Norfolk’s youth by supporting youth programs in this year’s 172nd annual Norfolk County Fair and Horse Show. With a donation of $900, the club has once again supported the Fair’s Ag Awareness program which brings 16000 youngsters from across Norfolk County to the Fair. The program includes presentations on various agricultural commodities, educational displays, question and answer periods, as well as hands on activities and displays providing an important connection for area youth to this significant component of Norfolk’s economy.
