What an incredible day at the Chili Open!

Because of our sponsors, golfers, volunteers, members, and community supporters, this year’s event was another tremendous success.

For over 40 years, the Chili Open has brought our community together for fellowship, fun, and fundraising. That impact continues because of YOU.

To our title and corporate sponsors, beverage and food sponsors, raffle donors, and every business that said “yes” to supporting this event — thank you for believing in our mission.

To everyone who came out to enjoy the weather, purchased tickets, donated raffle items, volunteered or simply helped spread the word — we are grateful.

We can’t wait to do it again next year.

Dr. Jill Haltigan from Mercy Health
#HealthyHabits #PolandRotary #UnitedForGood
 ⚕️Thank You, Dr. Haltigan!   ⚕️ 
 
This week, we had the privilege of welcoming Dr. Jill Haltigan, M.D. as our guest speaker. As we head into the winter months, many people experience the “winter blues,” and Dr. Haltigan shared valuable insight on ways we can support our mental health during this season.
 
She reminded us that even as the days get colder and darker, simple habits—like staying connected, being kind to ourselves, and checking in on friends and family—can make a meaningful difference.
 
Thank you, Dr. Haltigan, for educating us on practical mental health habits and for reminding us how important it is to support one another throughout the winter months. We truly appreciate you sharing your time and expertise with us!
