RCEN participates in 4 community involvement activities throughout the year as a way to give back and be involved in our local community.  These projects give our members an opportunity to a) make a contribution, b) interact with one another in a different environment and c) develop new skills.  These projects are a benefit to RCEN as they give us an opportunity to attract new members and gain additional exposure in the community.  We will focus our activities on groups that are related to women, business, families, children or education.
