Rotary Club of Centennial Celebrates its Twentieth Year with a Community Service Day! 
To celebrate the twentieth-year anniversary of the Centennial Rotary Club ​​and in support of Rotary District 5450's regional-wide Day of Service, the Club had chosen to celebrate by doing what it does best: serve the community. On May 8th the Club will serve the community in five different ways: a drug take-back program, an electronics ​recycling program, a blood drive, a Shred-Athon, and the awarding of their ​Club-sponsored brand-new ​community diversity award, ​as well as other exciting presentations.

Hello, fellow Rotarians:

April showers bring May flowers and, for Rotary Club of Centennial, April showers have brought with them the hope of a reblooming of the flowers of fellowship, friendship, and service.

We kick off the month of May with seeds planted by the Food Scarcity Team, fertilized with funds from our Club Foundation, and blossoming into a full-fledged Food Drive on May 1st to support the Crawford Elementary School community in Aurora with food collected by Club members from friends and neighbors to restock the school’s on-site food pantry.
