Homewood Rotary supports local, national and international projects through service and financial commitment. Its annual college scholarship program has assisted hundreds of Homewood High School graduates since the 1980s. The club awarded scholarships totaling $25,000 in 2023.
The club also supports other projects and services that impact area residents of all ages. To meet these financial needs, the club is known for its Chalk Art Festival at We Love Homewood Day each May, an increasingly popular St. Patrick’s Day dinner and auction, and other fundraisers throughout the year.
Homewood Rotary meets most Thursdays at noon at Homewood Library. Learn more at homewoodrotaryal.org and #homewoodrotary.
