Smoky Hill Rotary has been extremely active in International Service including being the parent club of the Iradea, Romania club who we have partnered with for several projects. Our International Committee has partnered with multiple Rotary Clubs around the globe to complete these projects including being the Sponsoring Club for a successful Global Grant Project in Beius, Romania! SHRC may be small but we are MIGHTY!

Smoky Hill Supports Ukrainian Refugees

Smoky Hill has sent $2000 to the Oradea, Romania Rotary Club to support their hands-on work with Ukrainian Refugees. We will send at least $3000 more in early April due to our fundraising efforts. We know our funds will be put to good use because we have personally worked with the Oradea Club and its members for over 20 years. Pictured is a family fleeing Ukraine on the way to Budapest and Prague, after being helped in Oradea.

Smoky Hill Awards 4 Vocational Scholarships

Smoky Hill is proud to announce we have awarded four Vocational Scholarships to T. H. Pickens Vocational College students. The scholarships are $2000 each and are awarded on a needs and merit basis. Vocational Scholarships support students learning the skills and abilities to excel in their chosen vocations. Many of these students work while taking classes and raising families so our support is essential to their success. Congratulations to the awardees!

Smoky Hill Rotary in Romania!

Dacian Coita, Oradea, Romania Rotary Club joined our meeting via Zoom and talked about the successful implementation of the urology equipment at the hospital in Beius - our Global Grant project from three years ago. Smoky Hill and our partners in Rotary raised over $117,000 to provide state-of-the-art urology equipment to allow kidney issues to be treated locally in Beius. The local water source facilitates the creation of kidney stones, increasing the need for kidney treatments.

Smoky Hill has been Busy

Thanks to our small but mighty Smoky Hill Rotary Club's $1000 donation, a District 5450 COVID-19 matching graft to SHRC for an additional $1000, and a similar donation from Denver Rotary we were able to help Comitis Crisis Center purchase a sorely needed new commercial refrigerator.
