Goodwill of Central Iowa tour
.
On 9/8/26 we toured Goodwill of Central Iowa and heard an inspiring message from CEO Mary Hunter about its mission of “Making Purposeful Employment Possible for All” and how donations fund its Skills Training, Employment Support and other services. We also learned how to shop online or with the ShopGoodwill app, which can be used to shop and bid on items such as inexpensive books to jewelry worth $1000s of dollars.
Rev. Katherine Yarnell Presented "Generations"
Many thanks to Rev. Katherine Yarnell of Iowa United Methodist Foundation who spoke about the differences in values, motivations, and learning styles of people in The Greatest Generation to Generation Alpha and all in between. Her insights gave us excellent food for thought on how Johnston Rotary might best engage with different generations.
Rotary Mourns Loss of Dennis Dietz
We lost a friend and fellow Rotarian suddenly on February 11, 2026.  Dennis Dietz was a lawyer, military officer, husband, father, and grandfather.  We will miss Dennis.  His integrity, principles, and generosity will not be forgotten.  He will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.   It is a sudden, shocking, and tragic loss. Deep sympathy goes out to his wife Sheila, family, and friends.
