Stories

Rotary Day on December 5 is Committee Reports
    All committees will be reporting their progress at the half-year point on December 5. This will be a very interesting and informative meeting!
 

Christmas Social Invite

Foundation Donations add up
    Norm Peterson, Club Foundation Chair, encouraged members to contribute to the Foundation in November, and he walks his talk! Both Norm and Linda gained the next level on Paul Harris recognition. Linda decided to join Norm in the Paul Harris Society, agreeing to contribute $1000 per year ongoing.
    Norm is anticipating a good report on club giving, and will report findings in mid-December.

Hansen honored as District Rotarian of the Year for 2016-17
Carmen Hansen, District Membership Chair, was honored by Immediate Past District Governor Ed Jacobson at the District Conference. But Carmen had left for a family event by the time of the award. So we surprised her with the award at a club meeting in November! Congratulations Carmen, and thanks for your hard work on encouraging membership in Rotary!

SDSM&T Rotaract Stuffs Puppies for Polio
    A group of Rotaract members stuffed 100 puppies, and then sold all of them for $20 each. Josiah Horner, club president, worked the table at student center. They netted $550 for polio, with the Gates Foundation match of $1100, totaling $1650. They estimate 60 cents per vaccine,  protecting 2,750 children from contracting polio.
 

A Note from Beyond the School of St. Jude: John’s Service Year
    It’s been about 7 weeks since John’s first day at his Community Service Placement and he has already achieved so much.
    Thank you for your continued support of John who has taken the opportunity to show his appreciation for the support you have given him by giving back to his community. We believe that sharing the benefts of a quality education and giving back to the community is an important part of the culture of The School of St Jude.
    John has decided to work as a teacher at Kimaseki Secondary School. He is teaching Biology to Form 1 students. In addition to teaching full classes, John is helping other Science classes with there practicals and assisting with the Debate Club! As government schools often deal with large class sizes, very few teachers and do not have the resources and support that private schools have,
    John is providing much needed help in his community by working as a teacher. "I have learnt when you stay with your fellow students you behave differently compared to when you are with your fellow teachers. I no longer see myself as a student but as a adult."
    John is doing a great job and will derive more and more from this experience as his Community Service Year continues. We know that his community will, too!
 

What does the Football books sales support?

    The Football committee is in charge of printing, selling, and payouts of Monday Night Football Books. We sell 1300 books at $25 each. Each book has a 1 in 100 chance of being a winner each week of $50 and could be a potential winner in the final drawings for $100, $200 or $300 dollars.
    This fundraiser usually nets us approximately $20,000. This first check goes to Storybook Island for $5000. The remaining $15,000 (or so) funds other various projects, such as the Youth Advocacy program, Community Action projects supported by Tikes and Bikes fundraiser, International programs, International Youth Exchange, Children’s Home Golf Tournament Major Sponsorship, Children’s Home Winter Gala; and any projects or fundraisers we would like to get started. This fundraiser is the lifeblood of our Club. Thank you to everyone for selling these books!
    The very faithful committee members working with Cindy Hansen are: Kent Musegades, Mark Schreiner, Mark Barry, Ron Jeffries, Cathy Quinlivan, Monni Karim, and Jon Johnson. Thank you to all!
