Annually, the club makes donations to the Magnolia Youth League, Enid Lake Volunteers, Mid-South Gift of Life foundation and the Relay for Life survivor dinner. The club also sponsors the attendance of several 11th grade students to the Rotary Youth  Leadership Academy each year.  In addition, all third graders at Davidson and  Coffeeville Elementary School receive a Webster’s dictionary from the Rotary Club. 

The Rotary Club has also donated to the Branch of Hope, the Second Chance  Animal Alliance and was involved in the creation of the “Pocket Park” in downtown Water Valley.  

If you are a service minded individual who has a desire to help fulfill the  needs of the community, please join Rotarians for lunch. The club meets at Melonvine Marketplace at noon on Tuesdays.
