Rotarians met at Eastern Oregon University West Dining Hall to celebrate another year of service to the community and wider world through projects aimed to support youth. In 2016-17, La Grande Rotary gave scholarships to two La Grande High School student athletes and two EOU students, distributed dictionaries to all county third graders, supported the La Grande Middle School Drug Free Youth Program, hosted an international exchange student and sponsored our own students abroad, supported 10 young women in El Salvador to attend high school, and held the highly successful and popular Daddy Daughter Dance event. The installation banquet was an opportunity to review the year, celebrate the accomplishments of the club and set the new slate of officers for the upcoming year starting July 1, 2017.
