Founded in 1920, the Monte Vista Rotary Club has been serving the San Luis Valley and supporting national and international humanitarian projects ever since. In addition to the annual Outdoor and Gun Show, ongoing projects and community financial support include the annual Chuck Wagon Dinner at Stampede, Colorado State Highway Cleanup Project, Student Foreign Exchange Hosts, Sargent and Monte Vista Schools after prom, Memorial Day Cemetery Cleanup, Faith Hinkley Memorial & Veteran’s Park, Creede Reperatory Theater, an orphanage in Mexico, SLV Science Fair and Book Scholarships for Adams State and Trinidad State students. The Monte Vista Rotary organized a community project where the proceeds from past shows were used to provide body armor for the Rio Grande County Sheriff’s Department.

Monte Vista Rotary supports ongoing Rotary International projects, including support for the Rotary International Polio Plus program. This program has reduced polio cases by 99.9% worldwide since their first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979.
