THE ROTARY FOUNDATION
At this past week's 2024 District Conference, Morning Star Rotary was honored as the
#1 CLUB IN THE DISTRICT for contributions to the Rotary Foundation for the 2022-2023 Rotary year.  We were also recognized for our efforts in eradicating polio through our contributions to PolioPlus.
 
Congratulations and thank you to all of our members for their contributions to The Rotary Foundation this past year.  Because of your generosity, we are able to continue our humanitarian endeavors in our community and throughout the world.

WE REMEMBER
Morning Star Rotarians who passed away in recent years were remembered during the Memorial Service at this year's District Conference.  They are remembered and honored for their service to Rotary.
 
KENYA CONNECT
On Thursday, April 25, 2004, we were honored to host Sharon Runge, Executive Director, and Faith Doucett, Director of Partnerships and Mentorships, from Kenya Connect. Their presentation shed light on the impactful work of this organization, dedicated to improving education and enriching the lives of children in rural Kenya.

Kenya Connect's innovative programs and strategic partnerships aim to bridge the gap between communities and educational resources, empowering young minds to realize their full potential. Initiatives such as school libraries, computer labs, and literacy programs create nurturing learning environments where children can thrive and develop essential skills for the future. We are optimistic about the prospect of continuing our relationship with Kenya Connect, fostering collaboration to bring much-needed resources to our Kivutina School project.
