Proud of our members who do so much

At Lake Stevens/Granite Falls Rotary we try to find serious fundraisers and just plain old fun fundraisers that will build goodwill within our club and benefit our communities.

I am extremely proud of the members of the Lake Stevens/Granite Falls Rotary Club who work very hard to provide scholarships to several high school graduates, give bicycles to kids in need at Christmas, supply and serve meals at a community supper, support literacy and mentoring programs in our schools, maintain the Lake Stevens Kids’ Oasis Park, build playground equipment for Housing Hope, work with Habitat for Humanity, support a local boy scout troop, our local Boys &Girls Club, the Lake Stevens Senior Center, the Lake Stevens Family Center and National Night Out.

We also fill community requests for assistance and support international projects through Rotary International such as the Wheelchair Foundation and the world wide polio eradication program.

Our Club appreciates the support of the citizens of Lake Stevens and Granite Falls as we work to meet our obligation to provide “Service Above Self.”
