What Do New York Rotary Clubs Actually Do?

Have you heard of an organization like Rotary International? I know people who are in the Rotary, I know that the people in the Rotary go to meetings, hold conventions and have luncheons in each one of the towns that they are in, but what do they actually do?

Is it about getting people glasses? Is it about giving high school seniors scholarships for their college education? What do they do? I reached out to a friend who is a member of the Rotary International, and I asked him a few questions, trying to get more information as to what this organization actually does.
