Since the summer of 2011, our club members have been volunteering at the Roanoke Area Ministries' (RAM) dining room . On the third Sunday of every month, we have a rotating schedule that staffs the RAM dining room with Rotarians. Many Rotarians invite their spouse, child, or friends to assist. The RAM dining room serves up to 125 lunches daily. This is a very rewarding experience that we greatly enjoy! To learn more about RAM, visit their website at www.roanokeareaministries.org/.
