GREEN STEPS FOR ROTARIANS SERVICE
Green Steps provides service opportunities through supporting the environment, the newest area of focus in Rotary. Green Steps is how members of Rotary E-Club of Central Texas can do service together while being apart. We can each do our part and that is our service.
