World Community Service

The purpose of the World Community Service Committee is to plan and carry out international projects and programs. It maintains and builds on the club's continuing active Twin Club partnerships with the Rotary Clubs of Mateszalka, Hungary and Knysna, South Africa. WCS holds five evening potluck dinner socials/committee meetings in the homes of committee members throughout the year. Spouses/significant others are invited and members responsible for the individual projects make status reports at each meeting and discuss opportunities for other members as well as all Rotarians to participate in the projects.
