Our club build the Rotary Healing Butterfly Garden for the Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) so that they had an outdoor space for counseling and sessions with their clients, most of whom are abused children and their families. After months of exploration, research, planning and fund-raising, the garden was built in the summer of 2017 and dedicated in September 2017. This garden represents a collaboration with CAC, the Village of Hoffman Estates, Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Schaumburg-Hoffman Estates and local businesses who banded together to build something beautiful.
The Rotary Club of Schaumburg-Hoffman Estates is pleased and proud to announce the presentation of approximately $50,000 in scholarships to local young people from Schaumburg and Hoffman Estates who are moving on to higher education and training this year. The goal of these awards is to help local students attain their educational and career dreams. These scholarships included:
Three Dr. James W. Moon Scholarships, to students based on their academic performance, participation in extra-curricular activities, and demonstrated financial need;
Two Uncle Joe Service Above Self Scholarships to students that demonstrated an exceptional amount of community service and leadership within that community service;
Three Don Redmon Vocational Scholarships to students for studies in automotive technology;
Four Community Vocational Scholarships to local students pursuing advanced education in nursing or automotive technology.
The Schaumburg AM Rotary Club also awarded two Vocational Scholarships totaling $10,000 to Hoffman Estates High School seniors in support of their dreams to pursue a career in automotive technology.
Several of our ACE II Scholars have recorded messages for the Members of the Rotary Club of Schaumburg-Hoffman Estates. We will soon be entering the third year of this 3-year grant and will be selecting additional recipients next week. Please take a few minutes to hear from those whose lives we have touched.
On Saturday, March 12, 2022, approximately 250 people gathered for the first in-person Classic in almost three years. We were entertained by a show produced and directed by our own President Tom Gosche, which featured our Hollywood-worthy starts...Rotarians of the Year. The music provided by Yazz Jazz was outstanding and kept us dancing late into the evening. A real highlight of the show, however, was the stellar performance by none other than President Tom, caught on amateur video and shared here with you!
