Stories
Golden Heart Rotarian Valerie Therrien recently visited Ireland. She was fortunate to meet up with a local Rotary Club in Dublin where she exchanged club flags.
What a fun day for Golden Heart Rotary! We handed cups of water and Powerade to Equinox marathoners and half marathoners. And congratulations to our very own club president, Susan, for her STRONG finish in the half!

Congratulations to Kelly Paschall and Melody Debenham. Each received recognition as first time Paul Harris Fellows. Dan Thompson received his fourth Paul Harris Fellow award!

 

Golden Hearted Rotarians joined the Out of the Darkness Walk to Fight Suicide on Saturday, May 22nd. Suicide prevention is an important focus for our club. Proceeds from this year's GHR Golf Tournament will benefit the Arctic Resource Center for Suicide Prevention - arcsp.org.
 
Welcome to Golden Heart Rotary, Kristen Freiburger! We are so glad to have you join us in service to our community.
 
Golden Heart Rotary is so excited about this project! We're helping the Interior Alaska Center for Non-Violent Living put curtains in the center's living spaces. Once the curtains are purchased, we'll help hang them!
We Golden Heart Rotarians were filled with Christmas joy as we delivered gifts, a tree and ornaments to our 2020 Adopt-A-Family.
It's GivingTuesday! What are Golden Heart Rotarians up to? Making and delivering meals to seniors. Thank you Carol, Susan and Wendy for meal prep. Thank you Valerie, Kelly, Susan, Carol, Sabrina and Spruce Tree Montessori for all your help with deliveries. 
Golden Heart Rotary hosted a fundraiser benefitting the Boys & Girls Club of Fairbanks. Rotarians wanted to make sure the 45 school-aged kids that come to the club every day to participate in on-line learning had a nutritious breakfast. Breakfast helps kids pay better attention in school and is an opportunity for kids to get key nutrients they need to grow. Rotarians Valerie Therrien and Wendy Cloyd presented Amy Cross, Executive Director of the Boys & Girls Club of Fairbanks, with a check to help ensure kid get the breakfast they need. 
 
 

 
COVID may have kept us from having our annual golf tournament fundraiser, but we found a way to give a gift to the Fairbanks Community Food Bank! Thank you, Samantha Kirstein, for sharing  amazing stories about how the Fairbanks community has supported the Food Bank through the pandemic. Fairbanks Golden 💛 Rotary is proud to be a part of the Golden 💛 City.
 
We are so grateful to partner with the Breast Cancer Detection Center to provide support and volunteers for the AK Girls Walk & Wine 2K/5K. This year's Walk & Wine was virtual and raised money for BCDC. We are excited to accept this check for $1,000 to fund Golden Heart Rotary's summer running club.
