This is Rotary in East Palestine

We focus on the future of East Palestine. We believe that the children are our future. Our projects and fund-raisers reflect our beliefs.

Rainbow Dreamland, the wonderful playground in the City Park, was started as a Rotary project during Brad Allison's first term as President. Construction was completed in 1995.  It's an important asset to our community. During Vicki Hoffman's term as President, the club headed up a committee to renovate the old pavilion at the City Park for use as a community center. The club donated $5,000, in memory of George Hoaglin, to this project which was completed in the spring of 1999.
