The two Rotary clubs in Arvada (Arvada Sunrise Rotary Club and Arvada Rotary Club) were represented at a Community Event where students and parents visited different booths in the Arvada High School during Basketball games in February.

The clubs presented opportunities to apply for scholarships, participate in youth exchange and apply to attend a camp on leadership training where the attendance is paid for by the Rotary Clubs.
