Louisiana Missouri Rotary

Listed below are some of the many projects that the Louisiana Rotary Club have been involved in or is currently doing. Rotary is an opportunity to build lifelong friendships and experience the personal fulfillment of providing volunteer service to others.

	Its very name means "water," yet Nicaragua faces a drinking water crisis... Louisiana Rotary Water Well Donation. The poorest Nicaraguan citizens and most remote barrios face life-threatening danger every day they drink the dirty and often contaminated water from their hand-dug wells. Facing harsh soil conditions and economic obstacles, Nicaraguans need clean water. Club members contributed enough money, $1,000 that is needed to build a fresh water well, it is Rotary's goal is to provide potable water to the poor who live in the barrios of Nicaragua.

	Singing Valentine Gift - A Valentine Gift that benefits our Community! For $35 you can have a singing Quartet deliver Roses or Cookies to any recipient you choose. Profits will go to the Louisiana Rotary Club Community Projects!

	ROTARY RADIO DAYS Each spring, on a Saturday, Rotarians take to the airwaves, playing music, providing news and weather updates and news about Rotarians and Rotary Projects. Local Rotarian and owner of KJFM, Thom Sanders, makes the microphones available to our ametuer DJ's. Rotary members spend about 3 weeks prior to the event selling advertising and sponsorships for the Radio program. Throughout the day, the Rotarians promote those sponsors while sharing the word about Rotary projects and good deeds. In 2006, the event $3450 was raised for Rotary Club projects during Rotary Radio Days!

	Renovation of Henderson Park In 2004-2005 the Louisiana Rotary Club took on the project refurbishing the hilltop Henderson Park. The Club raised over $30,000 to create a new play area for children and a updated park setting. The picture shown to the left shows many of our members showing off the new equipment. This was our Centenial Project.

	“GET THE OUTHOUSE OUT” Fundraiser Planned to Contribute Home Build Project Club members received applications in the coming weeks for an 'outhouse' to be placed in a friends or neighbors yard. The receiver of the house will also get a note that he/she has been dumped by a friend and that to have the house moved it will cost $10. That person then would send it on to the person of their choice.
