We’re getting excited for our Rotary Membership Drive event! Just a gentle reminder to bring a friend, colleague, or family member who might be interested in joining our community. People are more likely to join when they're invited by someone they trust, and your presence—along with your guests—makes a real difference. Looking forward to seeing all of our members and meeting some future members!
APRIL SERVICE
LETTERS TO VETERANS
For our April service project, we will be writing letters to two veterans who will be participating in the Eastern Iowa Honor Flight in May. Our goal is to help create a truly memorable and personal experience for each of them.
During the flight home, the veterans will experience a special “Mail Call,” where they receive letters from family, friends, and members of the community. These letters are often very meaningful and become cherished keepsakes. Our hope is for each veteran to receive at least 5–10 heartfelt letters.
Address your letter personally to either Ken or Lee
Share your gratitude and appreciation for their service
Feel free to include a personal message, encouragement, or reflection
Letters must be handwritten & no larger than 8.5"x11"
Please return all letters to Jen Bainbridge no later than Wednesday, April 22nd.
You can sign up to write letters via the SignUp that was emailed to members on April 15th, 2026.
