Root Beer Float Day to benefit the Special Olympics is set for August 22nd from 11 am until 3 pm outside Hy-Vee. A sign up sheet has been passed around and an email sent out. Please plan an hour to volunteer for this wonderful cause.
At our last meeting Corinne was our Sergeant at Arm and quizzed Rotarians on our knowledge of swimming. From the answers given it appears our Rotarians have what it takes to stay afloat!
Darrell Hanson was our Rotarian of the Day who introduced fellow Rotarian Tom Narak and his wife Carroll who work with their friend Ana Rodriquez on the Xicotepec project, which works to better lives in Xicotepec, Mexico. A team of Rotarians and friends completed tasks such as Dental projects for youth, water purification for schools, and construction for structural improvement. Our speakers had such life when talking about their service, it was a great presentation. You can also view more about this project on the District 6000 newsletter pages 16-18.
