Under the leadership of President Neil Sinclair, the 82-member service club held fundraisers assisting veterans, student and youth groups, food pantries, health organizations, and others.
Fundraising events include the Warwick Citizen of the Year/Outstanding Community Service Awards Recognition Dinner, Flags for Heroes, movie night at the drive-in, and a beefsteak dinner at Mountain Lake Park.
