We will be sending out Rotary Application Forms! Let's follow up with your invitees from the lunch last week. Get some feedback from them and invite them to join us again!
Our sincerest sympathies to the family of our long time Rotarian Rolf Helm who passed away on Friday. Rolf was a dedicated Rotarian for 45 years and was faithful in his attendance at the Club. Rolf will be missed by all.
Janet Freed and Pastor Christina Berry presented the program today about Buddy Bags. Sterling Buddy Bags provide food for kids to take home on Friday afternoon. The food is simple and nutritious, something children can prepare without too much effort. The program is supported by numerous churches and civic groups and is sponsored by the Illinois Coalition for Community Services, with the cooperation Sterling Public Schools. The program is housed at the First Presbyterian Church of Sterling.
