The 2010 Council approves a new, fifth Avenue of Service for Rotary Clubs

Rotary's 2010 Council on Legislation has approved a new Avenue of Service for Rotary Clubs. According to Rotary International's newsletter:
"New Generations joins Club Service, Vocational Service, Community Service, and International Service as the foundation of club activity. Before starting a project, Rotarians are asked to think broadly about how their club and its members could contribute within each avenue."
Rotarians have always recognized that our youth are the key to the future. Van Buren Rotary has supported a program of scholarships at the high school level for many years. More recently, the club has supported dictionaries for 3rd graders and reading programs at elementary schools. The new Van Buren High School Interact Club and RYLA are further examples of a strong commitment to future generations of leaders.
