GHS Grant

Rotarians present check to GHS

The Galena Rotary Club awarded the Galena High School a grant totalling $8,690 for oversized, padded seating for the hallways and library, creating comfortable, welcoming spaces where students can gather, collaborate, study, and connect! Part of the money came from Rotary District 6420 in a matching grant.

Community grants are just one way Rotary serves the Galena area!
