upcoming service projects
Friday, October 11th: Let’s raise a glass for a cause at Pints for Polio at Vortex Alley! Every pint supports Rotary’s mission to eradicate polio. Rotary's focus on polio eradication is critical because polio remains a threat in some parts of the world, and as long as it exists anywhere, children everywhere are at risk. By working to eliminate this preventable disease, Rotary is protecting global health, demonstrating the power of collective action for lasting change.
Thursday, October 17th: Get in the Halloween spirit with us at Goblins on Grand! We’ll be there handing out candy and spreading smiles. This is a great opportunity to connect with families in our community and show how Rotary brings people together. If you're interested in volunteering to help the night of or help us with planning there will be a committee meeting on Tuesday, October 1st at 5:15pm just right before our regular meeting.
sunday Funday was a blast!!
We had an absolute blast at our Sunday Funday Social! With a great turnout and even a few potential members joining us, it was a day full of fun and connection. Shannon and Justin showed their bowling skills by beating us all, and honorary Rotarian Bonnie even bowled better than some of the adults! Brooke brought some awesome prizes, and Calley is looking sharp in his new Rotary hat!
We’re excited to make these socials a quarterly tradition, so stay tuned. If you have feedback or ideas for our next event, we’d love to hear them!
