HELP TO OUR MEMBERS
Many challenges arise when things take a different direction than planned as in this period of the pandemic. The Membership Committee would like to offer help in two ways: First, if you or anyone you know is experiencing food insecurity, please let us know. We will offer a variety of ways to help supplement a household's food supply. Second, if you are experiencing difficulty with dues payments, we would like to hear from you. We advise not quitting the Club because of dues. Please be in touch with Dan Joraanstad or Terry Pickering if you have any concerns around either food insecurity or dues payment.  

We are stronger together. 
Club Members Practice Service Above Self
“Service Above Self” is a day-to-day practice for Rotarians. When each of us joined Rotary, we joined to contribute to the lives of others. This week we salute those members of our Club who gave of themselves to help others in these challenging times.
