The Lexington Sunrise Rotary Club has received a grant for $72,000 to deliver special pediatric wheelchairs in Ecuador. The project is the collaboration of The Rotary Foundation, District 7570, District 7610 (Northern Virginia), Rotary District 7670 (western North Carolina), and The Wheelchair Foundation. There is an estimate that there is a need for 100 million wheelchairs in the world. Latin America is one of the most neediest areas. These wheelchairs will go to children who have neurological disorders coming from birth defects, exposure to toxic substances, or a number of causes. Locals believe that pesticides sprayed on the fields years ago are responsible for the high number of birth defects.

🕊️ A Symbol of Peace in Clarke County 🕊️
Recently, the Clarke County Virginia Rotary Club proudly dedicated our community’s first Peace Pole—a powerful symbol of unity and hope.
Beautifully painted by Johnson-Williams Middle School’s Art Club and set in 200-year-old historic pavers, the pole bears the message “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in four languages.
Huge thanks to our dedicated members who made this project possible, and to Bret Hrbek, Rotary District Governor, 7570, 2024-25 for joining us on this special day.
