Like other Rotary clubs, we feel the responsibility to take on projects that range from international to local. We meet in Montgomery County, Maryland, which despite its reputation for relative wealth, has needs. Our signature local community activities are giving out dictionaries to all the third graders in several local elementary schools and distributing Valentine Day gifts to homeless women. Our signature international activities support Believe in Belize and Inspire Ethiopia. Learn more by visiting our Foundationpage.
Ken Freeman was the speaker for the May 22, 2025, Rotary Club Meeting. Ken, a long time resident of Montgomery County, addressed the subject of the Montgomery Citizen Academy. Ken has been very active with that organizaton, and the Citizen Academy Alumni Association since 2003. He has served as President of the Alumni Association for the past four years. During his presentation last Thursday, Ken explained how valuable the Montgomery Citizen Academy has been to the County, allowing the County's residents to get involved in and understand the work of law enforcement.
