Like a community center in a home, a Friendship House is a place for after-school education programs, character building, service projects, GED courses, tutoring, computer training, art and music lessons, family nights and much more.<\/p>\n<p>The House is lived in by Community Coordinators and their families to become the catalysts for rebuilding safe and caring neighborhoods. They spend time with the neighbors, earning their trust. The relationships they form become a foundation for residents to set and achieve basic goals in the areas of community, education, leadership, housing, health, safety and meaningful work.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/riverbendrotary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Game-Night-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-657\" src=\"https:\/\/riverbendrotary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Game-Night-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/riverbendrotary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Game-Night-2.jpg 960w, https:\/\/riverbendrotary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Game-Night-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/riverbendrotary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Game-Night-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/riverbendrotary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Game-Night-2-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/riverbendrotary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/42668541_10156634515767497_4648337452560285696_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-658\" src=\"https:\/\/riverbendrotary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/42668541_10156634515767497_4648337452560285696_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/riverbendrotary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/42668541_10156634515767497_4648337452560285696_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/riverbendrotary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/42668541_10156634515767497_4648337452560285696_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/riverbendrotary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/42668541_10156634515767497_4648337452560285696_n-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/riverbendrotary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/42668541_10156634515767497_4648337452560285696_n-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On September 27, 2018, Riverbend Rotarians joined the kids of the Community Renewal Highland Friendship House for a night of pizza, board games, fellowship, &amp; fun!\u00a0 The competition was high and the kids drove some hard bargains, but all and all it was a great night of community.
