Warm yourself at this fun tasting event and raise your glass to clean water!

The Bloomingdale-Roselle Rotary Club proudly brought the circus to Bloomingdale;  with performance's  on September 12-14, thousands of local residents enjoyed family friendly entertainment. The Rotary club invited the Kelly Miller Circus to town and with the generous support of Stratford Square, residents easily located the circus which was conveniently set-up in the malls parking lot. The Bloomingdale-Roselle Rotary would like to thank our other sponsors, they include: Itasca Bank and Trust, Bloomingdale Township Assessor John T. Dabrowski and Wickstrom Chevrolet. The Rotary Club received a percentage of ticket sales for the circus performances; we will use the money raised to continue our mission of helping with charitable efforts both locally and internationally. 

The Bloomingdale-Roselle Rotary today assisted the Humanitarian Service Protect with their annual school supply drive. Club members went to a local retailer and purchased enough supplies to fill 15  back packs with a years’ worth of school supplies. These supplies will be distributed to kids from low income families at a number of local schools in the Dupage/Kane County area. the Humanitarian Service Project posted a story about our donation on their blog.

On October 22 and 23, The Bloomingdale-Roselle Rotary helped move the remaining overstock from the now closed  Pik Kwik grocery store  in Roselle, to the Bloomingdale Township Food Pantry. Over three truckloads of frozen foods and household items were transported; club members then helped restock the shelves of the food pantry. The Bloomingdale Township Food Pantry, which serves 3,400 people in a year, helps support families that may be struggling during this time of economic uncertainty. The Bloomingdale-Roselle Rotary Club would like to thank the owners of Pik-KWik for this and past generosity !
