Like a traditional Rotary Club we also have signature service projects that we conduct in our District 7690.
Advance Learning: Scientific Calculators are presented to Walnut Cove’s Southeastern Stokes Middle School students each year with an inscription on the back 'You GOT This!' (In previous years we handed out Dictionaries and thesauruses).
Our signature E-Club Service Projects
The Scholarship Award: US$500 cash is given each year for "The most improved Graduating Senior" across three high schools.
The Alleviation of Hunger: Global Trekkers support a number of food pantry operations in Northern Stokes County (501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization), Eastern Stokes County and Western Rockingham County. (International members support local food pantries in their country).
