A few weeks ago, we were proud to partner with the North Central Fire Department to make sure that safety is a priority when being around bodies of water during the life vest giveaway. Stay safe during the heat and make sure to follow safety guidelines while out near water.

Weeks back, members of the Rotary Club of Kerman recently had the privilege of preparing and delivering lasagna to both the boys' and girls' camps at Camp Royal. It was a wonderful opportunity to serve and encourage the youth while supporting this outstanding leadership program.

According to longtime members, this marked the first time Kerman Rotary has participated in serving meals at Camp Royal, making the experience even more special. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped make the day a success!
