How We Help > Community Projects
Our members like nothing more than to roll up their sleeves and get busy. The community projects the League selects each year cover a wide spectrum, reflecting the ever-changing needs of our community and the varied interests of our members. In the past League year, our members donated over 1,200 volunteer hours. The Community Outreach committee handles the details in setting up these projects. Our members experience the pleasure of giving to the community while enjoying the fellowship of other League members.
