Special December Program
 
December 18th is the Annual Holiday Luncheon where we welcome spouses to share a special menu and enjoy festive entertainment.  The Salvation Army will have bell ringers at the door collecting funds from our members - we have traditionally been one of the most generous groups in the Cedar Valley. Email Katelyn to RSVP your guests.
 
We will be meeting upstairs in both rooms 21&22. Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to settle in. Lunch will be served by the Ramada staff as a plated meal. We will have carved ham/turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, dinner rolls and of course, dessert! :) 
 
Our program will include choir and orchestra students from Hoover Middle School and Christmas Carols from 4th-5th grade students from Lou Henry Elementary. 
 
Our club will go into our usual 2-week winter hibernation and re-convene January 8th, 2018.
 
 
Give the Gift of Rotary

For more than 100 years, The Rotary Foundation has been supporting Rotarians' work to create sustainable solutions to our world's most pressing needs. But there is still much to do, and we need your help.

Rotary gives in countless ways, focusing our service efforts in six areas: promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, saving mothers and children, supporting education, and growing local economies. We're also working hard to end polio once and for all.

Give the gift of Rotary today and be a part of the positive change Rotarians are making in your community and around the world. Every gift makes a difference.

What can your donation do? Here's a few ideas...

 

$10 mosquito bed net

Bed nets provide a safe, peaceful night's rest in countries like Uganda, where malaria is a major health concern.

$15 polio vaccines

Polio is still a crippling threat to children in Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan. A gift of just $15 can protect children for life.

$50 water filter

In rural Guatemala, deadly waterborne diseases are common. Personal water filters fill the need for clean water.

$100 sewing machine

With a sewing machine, a microloan, and some training from Rotary, entrepreneurs can turn their sewing skills into a thriving business.

$200 medical equipment

Newborns start their lives healthy when hospitals have up-to-date equipment to care for babies in the first moments of their lives.

$500 anti-bullying campaign

No child should live in fear of being bullied. Your gift helps communities create a safe and positive atmosphere where children can thrive.

$1,000 conflict resolution training

When secondary school students learn to resolve conflict, they can build a more peaceful and secure future for themselves and their communities.

$2,650 irrigation system

In areas where food security is a concern, irrigation systems give farmers a reliable and efficient water source so they can grow crops and provide food for the community.

Your gift supports projects like those described here but may not purchase the specific items listed.
