WHAT IS ROTARY AND WHAT DO WE DO?
Solving today's problems takes a real effort, commitment, and vision. Rotarians work to protect communities from preventable disease, keep women and children healthy, improve education and economic outcomes, create safe water and sanitation infrastructure, and make our community and the world a more peaceful place.
We are working with various partners on the following initiatives:
Danville's Riverfront Park - Donating $50,000 for
the park's development
Rotary Park in Dan Daniel Park - A $10,000 project
that will enhance the Riverwalk Trail
Danville Riverview Rotary Christmas Parade
Interact Clubs at both Tunstall High School and
Dan River High School
Dictionaries for third grade students
Dan Daniel Park, the ballfields, and the Riverwalk
Trail
Ending polio - Hosting annual fundraisers and
partnering with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Health Organization, and UNICEF to end polio, once and for all.
SUMMARY OF OUR PROJECTS:
- Commitment to Polio Plus
- Danville Riverview Rotary Christmas Parade
- Scholarships for Tunstall High School &
- Dan River High School Students
- Dictionaries for Third Graders
- Care Packages for Deployed Soldiers
- Feeding the hungry

_"I am a Rotarian because I see the potential to do good in this community and in the world through service. I am part of an organization that will eradicate polio,_
