We are extremely happy and proud to announce the installation of three new members into the Rotary Club of Cary-Grove. New members are Danijea Sandberg, Algonquin Township, Paul Tousey, Paul's Signs and Paul Schifferer, Edward Jones. All three bring a great deal of talent and will be tremendous assets to our club.

On September 20, 2021, the Board approved the Paul Harris Club-Match Program to members in good standing of the Rotary Club of Cary-Grove:
Members who are not already a Paul Harris Fellow may make a cash donation up to $500. The club will match their contribution two-to-one up to $500* towards his/her first Paul Harris Fellow. So, if you contribute $334 the club will match $668 = $1,002.
Any member who is already a Paul Harris Fellow may make a cash donation up to $500*, and the club will match one-to-one towards his/her next Paul Harris level.
The program will run from 10/06/21 thru 12/02/21 and will be awarded at a suitable event. This allows for 2021 income tax deductions. Checks should be made payable to “The Cary-Grove Rotary Charitable Fund” and delivered to Linda Trexler. In the event of her absence, checks may be delivered to Pat Finlon.
*Paul Harris level advancements are in increments of $1,000, and there is a minimum contribution of $100 toward a club match. Please contact Linda Trexler if you are interested in taking advantage of this program or need assistance in knowing how close you are to your achieving your first, or next, Paul Harris level advancement.

A blonde was bragging about her knowledge of state capitals. She proudly says, "Go ahead, ask me, I know all of them." A friend says, "O.K., Wisconsin?" The blonde replies, "Oh, that's easy, W."
I've copied and pasted the verbiage from Governor Lyle's email that was sent earlier this morning. This is a great opportunity for you to get your business listed in the Rotary Business Directory. Simply click on the link below to add your establishment to the list:
"You might have heard that our District is partnering with D6450 and Rotary International on a pilot of a new opportunity for our members: The Rotary Network.
Rotary began as an opportunity for fellowship and to build business relationships that, ideally, would be advantageous to both parties. The Rotary Network is solution for today, a way for Rotarians to help other Rotarians, and that's particularly welcome in these challenging times. You and other Rotarians might be anxious about their business, or be looking for advice, connections, or even information about changing careers. That's why The Rotary Networkwas created. See the attached flyer and this video to learn more.
And if you're like me, retired, The Rotary Network is for you, too! You can share your experience with other Rotarians, or provide guidance to a member that is looking for a change. It's another way for us to be of service.
Please take a few minutes to check out therotarynetwork.org, and then list your business, add your comments, sign up as a mentor, or suggest other resources we should add. The Rotary Networkwill only be as good as we together make it!"
Earlier this year, the Village of Cary announced its partnership with The Rotary Club of Cary-Grove in the development of a new park, "Cary Lake at Rotary Park". The Rotary Club is pleased to announce that it has begun soliciting donations for the construction of a picnic shelter that will be located near the main parking area of this facility. The pavilion will provide another feature to the park for the benefit of everyone that visits for many years to come. The estimated cost of this project is $70,000. The club is seeking the support of community members and local business owners in order to bring this to a quick, successful completion. Contributions are being accepted at the Club's Go Fund Me Page: http://gf.me/u/y6kq5f.
Project updates will be posted to our website and FaceBook page as construction at the site progresses.
