Chuck Rowe and Chelsea Szczyrbak are the dynamic duo for Boys & Girls Clubs of the Cedar Valley. Chuck has been with the Club for 8 years now, surrounding himself with a great board and staff . . . who are doing some really cool things . . . like starting new sites, creating new programs, and now . . . being part of a capital campaign.   His wife Karin is also in the non profit world, and they have a set of twin boys who are very cute . . . but break everything they own.

Chelsea is the Development Director for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Cedar Valley.  Almost two months on the job after spending several years at UNI as an assistant swim coach and a coordinator on the Panther scholarship club.   She is not a Cedar Valley native, but loves this community.  Moved to Cedar Falls in 2008 and completed an undergraduate degree at UNI in Leisure, Youth and Human Services.  She loves being part of her church and has also done a few triathlons  (FYI – Chuck has not).     She is also a new wife that is loving the beauty and challenges of marriage.

 

At our April 2nd meeting, Steve Thorpe was presented with his 7th Paul Harris pin which puts him in a very exclusive club. 

 

 

Many Waterloo Rotarians have earned their Paul Harris Fellowship for a donation of at least $1,000, but Steve has continued to contribute for many years.  Steve has seen first-hand the benefit of the Rotary Foundation's work and encourages all of our members to invest in the rotary foundation through sustaining contributions.  To learn more, click the link below:

The only way our club can grow and continue serving our community is to bring new people to get hooked on Rotary.  There are some amazing speakers lined up in the coming weeks - make it a goal to call AT LEAST ONE person and invite them to lunch.  Our club provides two complimentary lunches for prospective members - who would say "no" to a free lunch!?!

Every week, The Reporter arrives in your inbox and is packed with information about our next meeting, photos from past events, and Rotary news from around the world.  The newsletter is just one function that our nearly 10-year-old ClubRunner website provides to our club. We also use ClubRunner to organize member information and send invoices for member dues.  If you would like to sponsor our website with a clickable graphic, email Mason for details!
