Each year, Rotary West awards scholarships to one student from each Cedar Rapids and Marion-area school to attend Kirkwood Community College. The 2022 Rotary West scholarship recipients are:

 

Gabriela Hovey - Cedar Valley Christian

Every year, Rotary West asks area high school administrators to nominate an outstanding educator for the Rotary Teacher Appreciation Award. We hosted principals and teachers on May 4 from Jefferson, Kennedy, Linn-Mar, Metro, Marion, Prairie, and Washington. Getting to meet these exemplary teachers and hear about their hard work and dedication to students is one of our favorite events of the year.

 

Just a reminder that our next meeting is June 1st, Noon at the Czech and Slovak National Museum and Library.

 

Our service project for June will be the Big Drop ball audit on June 22nd after 5:30. We will be meeting at the Cherry Building and with a good turn out this will take about 90 minutes. Plan on a social afterward to replenish our systems.

 

We are coming to the close of the Rotary year. Membership dues will be mailed shortly for the 2022-2023 year. We pay international and district dues on the members on record as of July 1st 2022. I hope no one is considering not staying a club member, but if you are, could you please let me or Janette know so we can update the roster on June 30th. This will assist in being good stewards of the membership dues as we plan for 2022 - 2023.

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks.
