At a recent meeting, the RARC had the pleasure of welcoming this year’s college students who received our Raymond Area Rotary Scholarships. The students took the time to share updates on their first year of higher education, providing insights into their academic journeys, challenges, and future aspirations.

From stories of adjusting to campus life to accomplishments in the classroom, each student highlighted the impact of the scholarship on their education. It was inspiring to hear how the support from the Rotary has helped them pursue their goals and explore new opportunities.

The Raymond Area Rotary is proud to invest in the future of our community by supporting these outstanding students. We wish them continued success in their studies and look forward to seeing all they achieve.

In a heartwarming display of global community spirit, local Rotarian Kate is set to travel to Ghana in July to attend the dedication of the Royal Seed Orphanage Infirmary. The clinic, a beacon of hope and healthcare, was made possible through the efforts of Kate’s parents. The initiative has received overwhelming support from the Raymond Area Rotary members, who have donated essential medical supplies to ensure the clinic is well-equipped to serve the local community. These supplies will accompany Kate on her journey to Ghana, symbolizing the unity and commitment of Rotary to global health and wellness. The clinic’s establishment is also bolstered by a Rotary Global Grant which is in process and will provide additional funding and support for the clinic’s operations and sustainability.
