Los Lunas Rotarians meet some 80 children and families at Walmart each holiday season where each of 80 children choose winter clothing up to $100. The families are selected by Los Lunas Schools, based on need. The program is paid for by members, grants and proceeds from our "Pancakes For A Cause" breakfast.
The Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) training program is for juniors in high school entering their senior year. Our district RYLA Camp (one week each for boys and girls) emphasizes leadership, citizenship and personal growth. Camp is held at Manzano Mountain Retreat.
Los Lunas Rotary Club meets with and selects several students each spring from among numerous applicants attending local high schools. We award a $1,000 college scholarship to each, providing they successfully complete the camp experience, their senior year in high school, and are accepted to a recognized post-secondary school."
Eighth graders from area middle schools compete each year in the Los Lunas Rotary Club Four-Way Test Essay Contest. Winners receive cash prizes and compete with others across the district. Students write about how they might apply the values of the test to their future careers and personal lives.
