Due to the generosity of one of the clubs in our District, District 6440 was able to award 15 Scholarships, in the amount of $1,500 each, to worthy candidates who will be attending less than a four-year university.
Our club recognized Jacob Cullen, a recent Stevenson graduate, as a winner of a District 6440 Vocational Scholarship to help him with his tuition at the Universal Technical Institute in Lisle in the fall. He will concentrate in automotive technology. In this photo are past president AAron Appell, Jacob, and New Generations Chair Martha Weiss. Congratulations Jacob!
Our club hosted a joint golf outing with Special Leisure Services Foundation on May 17 that was a great event - the weather was perfect, the course was beautiful and the golfers and volunteers had lots of fun. This outing supports our Rotary charitable causes and the recreational programs that Northwest Special Recreation Association provides so that children and adults with disabilities have the opportunity to have fun, make friends, be included, go new places, learn new things and celebrate their lives.

Our Rotary club had a very busy and visible role in our community's Labor Day celebration, BG Days. We sponsored the Bingo game on Thursday night, was a sponsor for the September Stampede (a 5 and 10 k race), participated in the parade on Sunday morning, and sold duck tickets all weekend for our duck race that took place on Sunday afternoon. It was a great weekend of fund raising and fellowship for our club!
Our exchange student this year who we jointly hosted with the Wheeling Rotary Club was Alex from Warsaw, Poland. He attended Buffalo Grove High School where he was on the varsity swim team and did very well academically. Here he is on his last day with us. Good luck in all that you do, Alex!
