Webster Groves Rotary’s international-service history includes a partnership connected with a community center and chapel in San Esteban del Mar, Spain. The project belongs to an earlier chapter of the club’s work abroad.
Service begins with a local partner
International Rotary projects are strongest when people in the community help define the need and guide the work. The San Esteban del Mar partnership reflected that approach: relationships between Rotarians made it possible to support a place intended for community use.
The story remains part of the club’s record because international service is not measured only by distance. It is measured by whether partners listen to one another, use resources carefully, and create something the community can sustain.
