This week's meetings

Our first Rotary meeting of the year will be January 6. We will continue with the zoom format for now. Hopefully by spring things will change enough to consider some in person meetings. In the meantime thanks to everyone for continuing to be a member and for being involved with our various functions.

Our first Board meeting will be at 4 pm on January 7 by zoom. Let me know if you are not a Board member and would like to participate so I can get you the zoom information.

Also, a reminder our first social of the year is scheduled at 5 on Thursday. Watch for further details.

Salvation Army Bell Ringing Final Total

Thanks to Scott and Penny Olson for ringing on behalf of CR West the Saturday before Christmas. They raised an additional $364.85 during their ringing. That gave CR West a total of $786.33 raised when added to the amount raised during the time our members were manning the kettles on November 17. To everyone who participated "Many thanks. Great job!"

Rotary Rush

As a reminder District 5970 “ROTARY RUSH” is still on!!! For the months of January 2021 and February 2021 the District is still offering a significant incentive to all Rotarians who give to the Rotary Foundation Annual Fund. A generous Rotarian Donor has offered their points as an incentive to help Rotarians more easily reach their first or next Paul Harris Fellow level. The Donor is offering a 1 for 1 points to dollars match to reach your next Paul Harris level when you donate a minimum of $100. This match is good up to $500, for as long as the donor has points. There is a District form that needs to be completed to obtain the match.

If you have questions, please contact TJ Filip at either 319-899-4129 or tj_filip@hillsbank.com.
