Service Above Self is Rotary’s principal motto, which means that every Rotarian is responsible for finding ways to improve the quality of life in his or her community and in those around the world through service. The Community Service Project Committee works to provide local hands-on community service opportunities for our members and their families to participate in. In the past, The Greater Corvallis Rotary Club has done several hands-on projects, such as helping to build a Habitat for Humanity House, cleaning garden beds for Starker Arts Garden for Education, raking leaves for Trillium Farm Home for Children, and painting shelters for Community Outreach Inc.
