The Evanston Roundtable had a nice article covering the memorial service for Bill Logan held at Evanston Township High School on August 17th, which was attended by some of our club members. READ about it HERE
 
Evanston Rotary Club featured in the Evanston Roundtable: READ HERE about the different community groups helping with food insecurity in the Evanston area.  A couple of our distinguished club leaders are quoted in this excellent article.
 
 

 
 

    The Northwestern Rotaract is seeking Rotarians to host local community dinners for Rotaract students. Here, you have the unique opportunity to be a trusted adult for Rotaract Students. Having a trusted adult is the single biggest protective factor for youth transitioning to college. In fact, college students with a trusted adult demonstrate higher levels of connectivity, engage in less risky behavior, and have increased levels of overall well-being. Students with a trusted adult are also less likely to drop out of college, misuse substances, and die by suicide. You can make this difference for students.

     

    The Northwestern Rotaract Club is seeking Rotarians to host at-home dinners for 3-4 students at a time. At these dinners, you will make lasting connections with bright, engaged students. If you are interested, please email aimee.r.resnick@gmail.com to schedule an evening. You can be reimbursed for hosting costs. Dinners will be offered from October - June.
