We will have a great program on Tuesday morning after the Memorial Day weekend!
Service
If you have service hours, please send them to Kim!
We are holding off on any formal service projects until late July, but there are many ways to volunteer (set forth below).
The Risers have contributed over 900 hours of service to the community since July 1, 2019! Great job, Rotarians!
Here are some more ways to volunteer (safely):
- United We Fight – Coronavirus – United Way of Olmsted County outlines 5 ways you can help make a difference in someone’s life in the face of COVID-19.
- Step up to sit is a program where they match older students who are home from school to babysit for families of essential workers.
- Step up to SHOP helps connect individuals willing to shop and deliver groceries and supplies with those who need to remain in isolation for their health.
- Channel One Regional Food Bank is looking for additional volunteers to pack emergency food boxes and to help fill the gaps they are seeing as many of its current volunteers fall in the at-risk or vulnerable populations category.
- Salvation Army will continue their most important programs – food, emergency assistance, and housing.
- Family Service Rochester continues to work with a variety of health and human services organizations in the community including Channel One and Meals on Wheels to readily meet the ever-needing changes in the community.

All three outbound Youth Exchange students have now returned safely home from Mexico and Germany. We will work on organizing something soon to hear from the students about how their trips were.
Our inbound student, Taiga Kyodo, traveled home earlier this week. Taiga’s happy and very much appreciates his time here and in particular the two awesome host families. Thanks for visiting, Taiga. Big thanks to the host families and the Youth Exchange team also!
The Rochester Rotary Risers were chartered 32 years ago yesterday (March 19). Happy anniversary to the Risers!
The Rochester Rotary Risers have received a grant from Think Bank for $250 to assist with My Book Day! This grant will help us get books into the homes of local first graders, which helps support childhood literacy. Thank you, Think Bank, for supporting childhood literacy in Rochester. Thanks also to Rotarian Joel McNeil for helping coordinate this grant!
