District Governor Rick Reigner Visit

District Governor Rick Reigner Visits Our Club
This past week, our club had the pleasure of hosting District Governor Rick Reigner. DG Rick shared his inspiring goals for the upcoming Rotary year, focusing on community and service. As part of his visit, he officially presented this year’s banner and theme—Creating Lasting Impact—to President Sara Knight. We are excited to channel this vision into our upcoming projects and make a meaningful difference!
Another Fremont Township Food Pantry Donation
Just before Memorial Day, 2026, we made another donation of food, personal care items, and gift card to the Fremont Township Food Pantry. Club members Nirmesh Patel and Ross Spencer successfully overcame poorly sealed pasta boxes while shopping.  Even though we spent more than $2,200, the store might have been happy to see us leave!  Township Supervisor Diana O'Kelly expressed her appreciation for the generous gift.  Under the direction of caseworker Nancy Lech, the items will be available to township residents experiencing financial difficulties. 
 
   
Fremont Township Food Pantry Donation
On Saturday, May 31st, 2025, the Rotary Club of Long Grove, Kildeer, and Hawthorn Woods contributed over $1,000 worth of food, toiletries, and cleaning supplies to the Fremont Township Food Pantry. These will be available to township residents experiencing financial difficulties. Some items were sourced from GiveNKind, a Buffalo Grove-based charity which connects manufacturers and retailers wishing to donate new items to qualified charities. Pictured are club members Davindar Gill, Lyle Staab, and Nirmesh Patel.
