Grinnell Rotary Club met Tuesday, October 22, 2019, at 6:00 p.m., for a meal, meeting, and program.
During the business meeting, a discussion was held on the recently completed event, Kites Over Grinnell. All agreed that it was a very successful event, and a fun, family-oriented activity. The weather was great, and the community was well represented. Next, the club members discussed the upcoming project, the Shults and Company Program. This is a musical performance, scheduled at Hotel Grinnell for February 20, 21, and 22, at 7:30 p.m. Proceeds from the Shults and Company performances will benefit Grinnell’s local fire department.
Rotarian Brent Nickel introduced the speaker for the evening, Mike O’Conner, with the Boy Scouts of America. Boy Scouts originated in London, England, in 1908. Girl Scouts began in 1910. The programs are not co-ed, but at the present time, there is litigation pending to bring the two organizations together. Grinnell has both Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops. The scouting organizations are working toward building up their memberships.
Rotary meets every Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. at West Side Family Restaurant.
