Two more clean-up events remain in 2024! This small, but mighty group of Rotary Club of Rochester members regularly clean White Oaks Park on the third Wednesday through October. The group usually begins at6:00 p.m. and is done cleaning up in less than an hour. Care to join? A bucket or plastic garbage bag, gloves and good shoes is all that's needed for the clean-up. There is a sign in the park stating that the park has been adopted by our club. If you would like to help keep the park clean and be outdoors, come the next third Wednesday of the month. Address: White Oaks Park, 4597 55th St NW, Rochester.
In recognition of our club’s 100th anniversary, we’ve set a goal of raising $10,000 to fund the benches that will surround the proposed Silver Lake Pool and Splash Pad area. To help achieve that goal, a member of our club has generously offered a Challenge Grant to contribute $1 for every $3 given by Rotary members. How does the Challenge Grant work? For example, when a member donates $100, the 100th Anniversary project will receive an additional $33.33 from the Challenge Grant. Overall, when our members contribute a total of $7,500, this Challenge Grant contributes an additional $2,500, and we’ve met the $10,000 goal!
Are we up for the challenge? The Challenge Grant has been extended! Please consider making your donation by September 30, 2024.
Four-person scramble, nine holes with cart is $32.00 All levels of golfers are welcome! This is meant for fun, not for competitive golf!

Some snacks/light appetizers will be available / BYOB

Worldwide, 67 million children have no access to education and more than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. Rotarians support educational projects that provide technology, teacher training, vocational training teams, student meal programs, and low-cost textbooks to communities. Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy.
