 Scrip cards to Apollo Liquor, Kwik Trip, and Menards are still available for purchase to support The Rotary Club of Rochester. Remember, you purchase and spend the cards at face value, and the club receives 5% back from Apollo Liquor and Kwik Trip, and 4% back from Menards. The club gets an additional 5% on purchases at Kwik Trip, other than gas, inside the store. If you would like to make a scrip purchase, please email the Rotary office with your request. Apollo is sold in $10 increments, and no change is given in store. Kwik Trip may be purchased in increments of $5 up to $25, increments of $25 up to $100, and then $200, $250, and $500. Credit remains on the card until the full value is spent. Menards cards may be purchased in any denomination between $10 and $2000 with the credit remaining on the card, as well. Apollo and Kwik Trip cards will be delivered within a few days, and Menards cards may take up to two weeks. Scrip cards make especially great gifts for celebrations, including birthdays and graduations! Separate from the Scrip program but another way to support Rotary is Amazon Smile. If you are already shopping on Amazon, please consider shopping Amazon Smile instead. Same items are available, but if you designate The Rotary Club of Rochester Foundation as your organization of choice, Amazon donates a portion of your purchase to RCRF. Thank you for your support! |
The Rotary Club of Rochester will meet in person this Thursday at Rochester Golf & Country Club, 11:30 am - 1 pm for lunch, social time, a meeting and program. This week's program will be "Staying Sane During the Covid-19 Pandemic and Other Stressful Times" by Dr. Mary Berge. "A Rotarian since 2002, Mary Berge is a frequent speaker and trainer around the Rotary world. As a practicing clinical psychologist, she has a vast knowledge of human behavior, emotions and coping."
The Zoom call will include an introduction to the Braver Angels “With Malice Toward None” initiative, followed by a “Values Exercise”. The goal of the Braver Angels effort is to reduce the divisiveness and personal animosity that might arise regardless of who wins the Presidential election. The Values Exercise is designed to give people a greater appreciation for the legitimate values you and those who believe differently from you hold which affect your beliefs. Members who register will receive by separate email a handout which will better allow them to actively participate and share their insights.
Salvation Army bell ringing is a tradition of The Rotary Club of Rochester, and we will be ringing again this season each Saturday, November 14 - December 19 at HyVee 37th Street, in shifts 8:30 am - 8:30 pm. Please check your schedule and register 
Let’s play a game. I’m American. What assumptions have you just made about me? My parents are Filipino immigrants. How have those assumptions now changed?
