Welcome to the Rotary Satellite Club of Mathews in Middlesex County, Virginia 
Our official name has changed but our mission remains the same!
Serving the needs of our unique and wonderful Middlesex County!

The Rotary Four Way Test of things we think, say,
or do...
1.   Is it the truth?
2.   Is it fair to all concerned?
3.   Will it build good will and better friendships?
4.   Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

ROBOTICS AND CODING FOR KIDS
Our Rotary club has been instrumental in being able to offer robotics learning experiences for local middle school youth.  Rotarians have helped with the purchase of Elegoo robot car kits and served as mentors.  The club also funded the purchase of several new Dell laptops so that each child could use one for programming their robot car to perform specific functions.
