Wichita Falls Southwest Rotary Club members volunteer at Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast

Because there’s work to be done!

It’s 4 am on a Saturday and somehow three Rotarians in the wild find each other amid an army of volunteers working the Kiwanis Pancake Festival. For members of the Rotary Club of Wichita Falls Southwest, community service means serving wherever help is needed.

Thank you to the Wichita Falls community for their support of the 2024 Flag Program

Thank you to the 811 Flag Subscribers for supporting our 2024 Flag Subscription Program

Their subscription allowed them to have a 3x5 US Flag on a 10-foot staff erected at their street curb on the major holidays of Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Patriots Day, and Veterans Day. Proceeds from our flag subscription program allow the Wichita Falls Rotary Club to provide and support our community service projects such as scholarships, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, CASA, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Road to College and others.
