The Rotary Club of De Soto was proud to award a matching Rotary CAP Grant to the De Soto School District #73 Middle School in the total of $2,000. Rotary President Charles Roop presented fellow Rotarian and school Superintendent Ron Farrow with a check.

We’re excited to support our local students and help provide resources to cover food vouchers to offset the ocured lunch debt.

Supporting our schools and investing in the next generation is one of the many ways Rotary lives out its motto, “Service Above Self.”

We’re grateful for the opportunity to partner with De Soto School District and look forward to seeing the impact this grant will make in the future of the lunch department!

The Rotary Club of De Soto recently had the honor of meeting longtime Rotary supporter and local author, R.E. Darhcs!

Each Rotarian was gifted a copy of his book, "SIMPLE: Limericks, Poems, and Musings", which can be purchased on Amazon. Making it even more special, many of the poems were inspired by—or even written about—a member of our very own De Soto Rotary Club!

What a wonderful opportunity to celebrate a talented local author, share some laughs, and discover the clever man behind R.E. Darhcs!!
