LEONARDTOWN, Md. – Leonardtown Rotary is pleased to announce the contribution of $15,000 in grants to area non-profit organizations.
As part of the Leonardtown Rotary Club’s commitment to Community Service and a key element of providing “service above self,” funding assistance is provided annually to programs and projects in St. Mary’s County that enhance the quality of life in our community. This is a competitive grant process and awards typically range between $250 and $1,500 depending on the need expressed in the application and funding availability.
Funding is provided by our Flags for Heroes Project, in which community members can donate flags to honor their personal heroes. Details and a Flags Request Flier may be found at https://leonardtownrotary.org/. Rotary will accept heroes orders through November 9th.

Is the rotary club still providing dictionaries to third graders? In the past, our students received free dictionaries and we would love it if this program was still available for our students. Thank you!
