ROTARY FELLOWSHIP
Being part of a fellowship is a fun way to make friends around the world, explore a hobby or profession, and enhance your Rotary experience.  Rotary has over 100 Fellowships.  They can be found at More Fellowships | Rotary International.  While not officially registered Rotary Fellowhip groups, Rushmore Rotary members recently participated in two activities:  skiing and hiking.   
 
YFS COVID RELIEF FUND
YFSLogoHeader13This past December, members of Rushmore Rotary and Rapid City Rotary clubs stepped up in a big way to support families in crisis who are enrolled in programs at Youth & Famity Services.  Many of the families YFS serves were struggling to make ends meet prior to the onsetof the COVID-19 pandemic.   Connie Olson, YFS Director, shared that an increasing number of families are now facing the very real possibility of becoming homeless.  Thanks to Willis Sutliff for establishing a partnership between YFS and Rotary organizations.  Within a few weeks, Rotarians raised $13,500 for the fund to help cover utility bills, rent, day care costs, and to purchase necessary supplies for children and their families.  Just another great example of the impacts we make in our local communites.  Thank you to such caring, committment and compassionae individuals.
