Donation intake
Stocking the sales floor
Assisting customers
If you are available to volunteer, lease have sign up by using the link below. This will also serve as the volunteer waiver.
Members are able to order a Nike polo, or t-shirt to wear at service projects and around town. Each polo is $38 and t-shirts are $10. You can email Mike Reyhons at the link below with your order. We will coordinate invoicing once you place your order.
Beginning in September, we will be offering sponsorship opportunities for our newsletter. Each month we will feature a sponsor on our weekly newsletter. With a $100 Sponsorship, the businesses logo and information will be listed as the newsletter sponsor for the entire month. The business will also be featured in 2 social media posts and have the opportunity to visit our club to say a few words about their company or upcoming projects.

What You Missed Last Week:
Executive Director Pami Erickson joined us from the Eastern Iowa Red Cross Chapter to inform us on all they offer to communities in Eastern Iowa . Did you that in addition to First Aid, AED,and water safety skill instruction , and blood drives, they also offer food , shelter, and comfort to families impacted by local disasters , install life saving smoke alarms in homes, and provide emergency communications to military service members and their families? They have also been on the frontline assisting those who have been impacted by this past week's Iowa derecho, and have been working with the medical community providing donated plasma (from those who have antibodies ) to those hospitalized for Covid -19.. Pami reminded us to pray for all who are struggling right now and count our blessings.We thank her for joining us and all she does to ensure assistance and security to those in need.
Rotary is not just a club you join. It is an invitation to endless opportunities. It opens opportunities to serve in a project as big and historic as End Polio Now and also in a small community project, where you just plant a tree. It opens opportunities for you to live a richer, more meaningful life, with friends around the world, based on our core values. Everything we do opens another opportunity for someone, somewhere.
The 2020-2021 theme is: Rotary Opens Opportunities.
