Our Club is active in supporting a variety of local and international
causes. One of our Club’s ongoing priorities is youth leadership
development. Each year the governing Board proposes
expenditures in support of community needs, international causes and club
operations, including:
-
Pledge of $60,000 over 5 years, starting in 2006, to the Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation. This pledge is now completed in 2010.

Renovations in 2008-2009 to the Big Brothers, Big Sisters building for $18,000, assisted by a District Simplified Grant from the Rotary Foundation.
