There is no better gift than the gift of education. The Rotary Club of Longwood’s first educational project is the Longwood Rotary Reading Rodeo with the first graders. Every first grader will receive two books about horses that will not only be delivered by Longwood Rotarians, but they will also sit with the first graders and read with them. After each book, students will have a live “Horse Experience”. The entire first grade class will be taken on a field trip to a local horse ranch to meet a horse, some for the first time. The vision is to impact first graders to be excited about reading and to carry that excitement through college and beyond.
The Rotary Club of Longwood is the newest club to Rotary District 6980 being chartered on October 2, 2023, with twenty-one charter members. Today we have thirty members and are rapidly growing. Our mission is to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance community understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.
Rotary International is a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
Solving real problems takes real commitment and vision. For more than 110 years, Rotary’s people of action have used their passion, energy, and intelligence to act on sustainable projects. From literacy and peace to water and health, we are always working to better our world, and we stay committed to the end.
