"Serving Overland, Missouri Since 1947" |
The Overland Rotary Club was chartered in 1947 with a service area coinciding with The Ritenour School District, which encompasses parts of nine communities. These include Overland, St. John, Sycamore Hills, Breckenridge Hills, parts of St. Ann and a few others. Overland Rotary supports several local organizations, including the YMCA, a local Boy Scout troop, the Ritenour Immunization Clinic, and Home Heights Community Development, Inc. We annually award funds to graduates living in the Ritenour School District to help with college expenses.
Every year the Overland Rotary Club tries to stay active in all Four Avenues of Service, following the Rotary model. Rotary's Four Avenues of Service are Club Service, Community Service, Vocational Service, and International Service. In addition to the
Community Service projects discussed in the previous paragraph, we recognize an Overland Vocational Person of the Year. This is a business person or professional person living or working in Overland who we believe deserves recognition for the excellent work they do. We also plan Club activities to educate our members about Rotary and enjoy some social functions with our spouses and families. Finally, the Overland Rotary Club actively supports International projects through direct donations of funds and goods and services. We also have supported The Rotary Foundation on an annual basis.
We raise funds to support our chosen beneficiaries through a variety of projects. We usually hold a Trivia Night once or twice a year and we have a plant sale in the spring. Typically, we also have a Spring Auction in the even years. |
