Student host responsibilities: If you are listed to be student host, please plan to arrive by 11:40 a.m. to greet the students as they come in. Assign one student to a Rotarian so they are spread out at different tables. Try to have different Rotarians each week host students, so the students can meet several people.

RI President Ian Riseley supports to give clubs more flexibility in membership and meetings. "If you want to meet every week, and it suits your club, that's great. But there are people who can't do that, for whatever reason. To me, the flexibility is really important." (excerpt from the article in July 2017 Rotarian)

Service Projects for 2017
Provide food (snack and lunch) for Habitat for Humanity volunteers on a Saturday. Date to be announced.
For those of you who were not at this past Monday's meeting, I introduced a District 6000 project: World Bicycle Relief. Please see this link, and check out the video!
These bicycles mean the world to the recipients in Zambia. It is equivalent to you or me receiving a car or truck. Children can travel to school, entrepreneurs can transport goods, healthcare workers can visit patients, and the list goes on and on. This opens up a whole new world for them. Please consider making a donation. You can do so directly on this site, or checks can be made payable to WBR. We can bundle checks together and do one mailing to World Bicycle Relief, which is a 501c3. Dollars are matched 1:1 during the month of July, so I would like to get as much done in this month as we can do make a greater impact!
Interested in sharing career information with your future workforce?QC Career Connections fosters building relationships between businesses and area youth by providing opportunities for students in high school and middle schools to interact with professionals.We are currently looking to match volunteers for: Classroom presentations, Worksite tours, Job Shadows, Internships.We work in Clinton and Jackson CountyPlease contact Kathy Pezley at kpezley@eicc.edu or 563-441-4186
As the world’s largest private provider of international scholarships, The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International helps more than 1,000 students annually to study abroad and serve as cultural ambassadors. Rotary clubs around the world offer scholarships for secondary, undergraduate or graduate study. RI partners with seven prestigious universities around the world, providing opportunities to earn a master’s degree in peace and conflict resolution as well as water and sanitation. Global Grant scholarships last from three months to four years and can include an entire degree program. These scholarships are funded using cash or District Designated Funds matched by the World Fund.
District grants can be used to sponsor secondary school, undergraduate or graduate students studying any subject, either locally or abroad. The scholarship may cover any length of time, from a six-week language training program to a year or more of university study.
$7.5 million on average for scholarships are given by Rotary each year and over 350,000 scholarships have been awarded. Your support of the Rotary Foundation enables this to happen. Thank you.
