Our Pledge

Service is our primary focus. 3rd graders in Tully and Fabius were excited to receive our gift of atlases. Tully Rotary collaborates with the Lyons and the Optimists Clubs to purchase these gifts for the local children. We hope to encourage a quest for knowledge about the world and learning.

Business Backstory is our monthly event in which we connect with local businesses. We visit for a tour with a glimpse of what is going on with our neighbors. It is our way of promoting those we share our community with. For more information go to https://docs.google.com/document/d/1v74cvXgKGxwXXY11yAIcu5pbWJBEOGydkTBaKFOFZOw/edit
