We raise about $25,000 annually from a fun auction. We spend more than 98% of that on local and international projects.
We annually (except during Covid-19 times) sponsor and support a high school foreign exchange student through Rotary International.

We annually support a student through Project Amigo in Colima, Mexico and Metro Rotary members often visit for work weeks. This was a reading week and books were taken by the Rotarians as well as much reading with the students. During the Covid-19 pandemic we sent funds for food boxes for the students and their families.
