Unfortunately the town budget cannot pay for a youth center, etc. The Mayor did say that the town had a vacant lot that could be donated or used for some purpose. They also had a vacant two-room school that was not in very good condition.

Developing a Service Project Team B talked to the head of the welfare department who spoke of an elderly couple in town who seemed to be locked into their home because they couldn't navigate the front steps. They also had trouble climbing the stairs to their bedroom and often ended up sleeping on a couch or the floor. She asked if Rotary could help in any way.

Developing a Service Project Developing a Service Project Team C talked with a school principal at an elementary school in town and some teachers and guidance counselors. Unfortunately there were a lot of problems - some third graders who couldn't read at all, many kids without fathers, kids who couldn't afford a change of uniforms the school required, kids who come to school without breakfast and many other problems of poverty. Can or should Rotary do anything with this school?
