Our club has supported the D.A.R.E. Program for many years. D.A.R.E. is all about giving kids a foundation to help them make good decisions independently. Kids have many challenges these days and knowing they have a support system in place and a person they can trust to talk to can help. The D.A.R.E. Program is run by our local police and is funded from outside sources including the Old Saybrook Rotary Club.
