November 12th - Volleyball Luncheon

2017 Waterloo Rotary MVP Alexis Wroe, East High School

Join us for one of our largest programs of the year - we'll honor senior volleyball players from the area. The MVP travelling trophy will be presented after we hear from each coach with a recap of the season, and recognize the players' families in attendance.

Arrive a few minutes earlier than normal so we can start promptly at 12:15.

Operation Warm - Just In Time!

A surprise inch of snow this morning reminds us that Mother Nature is very much in charge...but our team will push back and begin distributing coats Monday!

Monday, November 12th - Cunningham

Tuesday, November 13th - Irving

Tuesday, November 13th - Highland

Thursday, November 15th - Lowell

All the volunteer slots for these locations are filled, but stay tuned for more opportunities the following week. We still are coordinating the two parochial schools.

Please email Katelyn ktungland@jaeasterniowa.org or call her office at (319)-274-0760 to get your name in!

Congratulations are in order

Two of our recent guests were elected this week to represent us. Dave Williams Joined us October 15th and on Tuesday, he was elected to represent District 60 in the Iowa House. Then, the day before the election, Abby Finkenauer shared a slice of her very busy day to join us and field questions on her views. She went on to win 50.9% of votes in Iowa's 1st district, which made her the second youngest woman ever elected to Congress.

Congratulations to both of these Iowans who have answered the call to serve their communities.
