The Alliance does make a difference! With the number of projects each one of our counties has adopted, there is someone in that county that has benefited. Whether it is a non-smoking campaign, a bicycle helmet project, “Not Even for Minute” child safety poster project, promoting the “Journey Safe” project to help save the lives of teens and children. These are not just alliance projects, they can be partnered with Rotary, parent-teacher organizations, or a youth community outreach project. By including these ideas with other community organizations, and as members of the Alliance, you can promote the Alliance as another caring organization that can is a fulfilling and important organization in the community.
