What is the San Carlos Rotary Endowment? |
| The
Rotary Club of San Carlos, founded in 1949, recognizes its responsibilities
to the young people of our city, as well as to other community residents,
who wish to enhance their education and enrich their lives in order
to become stronger, more well-rounded individuals. |
| The
San Carlos Rotary Endowment will provide funding for educationally-enriched
programs and activities directly benefiting the development of the
young people of San Carlos and other community residents. Programs
