Dexter, Missouri – “Service Above Self” is the motto of the Dexter Rotary Cub. One of the oldest civic organizations in Stoddard County, these dedicated individuals spend hundreds of hours each year volunteering for many local charities and raising money for scholarships and other charitable projects.
On Friday, August 14th they will host their 10th Annual 4-Person Golf Scramble at Hidden Trails Golf Course. They had scheduled it in June; however 3 inches of rain cancelled the tournament.
