We are an active club! Read more about some of our recent events and service projects.
Heritage Days
Rotary members, Nick Hassinger and John Gruber-Miller, raised funds volunteering at the Heritage Days festival in Mount Vernon at the beginning of July. They enjoyed meeting the families and their smiling kids at the Striker Game. All of the proceeds will go back into our community to help fight some of our club's main causes: homelessness, food insecurity, and other future projects.
Service Project: Start School Right
Marion Independent School Foundation & Alumni Association kindly invited us to help with their Start School Right project for our first club meeting in July.
Rotary members had a blast setting up delivery bags for school supplies and preparing girls' hygiene kits for middle school families.
Matthew 25's Transform Week
Matthew 25’s Transform program matches homeowners with community volunteers who can help complete home repair or landscaping projects that make both homes and neighborhoods safer, healthier, and more uplifted.
Rotary members, Erin Steffen and Becky Esker, refinished a front porch for the owner whose sister was going through cancer treatment and was living there. There was another person adding hand rails to her back steps because the sister had fallen and broken her arm.

Service Project: HACAP
At our last club meeting in July, Rotary members volunteered at HACAP to assemble 222 emergency relief food boxes to be distributed to families in need. Great work team!
