What a way to wrap up this year’s Rotary Club of Butte Duck Derby! 🦆💦

A huge thank you to everyone who adopted a duck, sponsored a Mallard, volunteered, cheered us on, and helped bring another Derby to life. It’s always fun watching those little ducks race, but the best part is knowing the impact continues long after they cross the finish line.

We’re especially grateful to Butte-Silver Bow Parks & Recreation, the Butte-Silver Bow Parks & Trails Foundation, and the incredible staff at Ridge Waters for their partnership, support, and all the behind-the-scenes work that helped make the evening possible. Community events like this truly take a community!

Congratulations to all of our winners, and thank you, Butte, for once again showing up for community, connection, and a little quacky fun along the way.

We were so happy to officially welcome Kumar Ganesan back into the Rotary Club of Butte!

Kumar is a returning Rotarian and a retired professor from the Environmental Engineering Department at Montana Tech, bringing with him a wealth of knowledge, experience, and a familiar heart for service.

While his induction marks a new chapter with our club, Kumar certainly isn’t new to Rotary — and we are so happy to have him back in the swing of things!

Welcome back, Kumar! We’re so glad to have you with us again. 💙💛

Rotarian Jim Murphy received his first Paul Harris Fellow recognition, bestowed upon him by Bill and Mary Lou Spath, with the added honor of District Governor Kathy Schulte presenting Jim with his pin and award.

Named for Rotary founder Paul Harris, the Paul Harris Fellow recognition represents meaningful support of The Rotary Foundation and the work Rotary makes possible in communities around the world.

Jim is always willing to jump in, lend a hand, and serve wherever he’s needed — making this recognition especially fun to celebrate.

Congratulations, Jim, on your first Paul Harris Fellow! We’re proud to have you as part of the Rotary Club of Butte. 💙💛

💙💛 To Know Rotary is to Love Rotary — and Hope Doesn’t End Here. 💛💙

Last Thursday, we had the pleasure of welcoming District Governor Kathy Schulte to the Rotary Club of Butte!

We joined together in song, laughter, and celebration of what it means to be a Rotarian. Kathy reminded us that “to know Rotary is to love Rotary,” while sharing a message that echoed throughout the day: Hope doesn’t end here.

After our meeting, we spent a beautiful Montana afternoon visiting places where generations of Butte Rotarians have turned that hope into action:

🥾 Maud S Hiking Trail — a project that continues to connect our community to the beautiful place we call home.

🌳 Victory Circle — including the tree planted at Park & Arizona, a living piece of Rotary’s history in Butte.

⛏️ World Museum of Mining — where we visited the Memorial Wall and the many landscaping projects Rotary has supported throughout the grounds.

It was a beautiful day of fellowship, history, service, and Rotary pride — and a reminder that the work we do today becomes part of something much bigger tomorrow.

To know Rotary is to love Rotary. To serve through Rotary is to keep hope moving forward. Hope doesn’t end here. 💙💛

The stuff dreams are made of…

The Rotary Club of Butte’s annual Duck Derby will be held on Thursday August 27th in Ridge Waters’ lazy river. Rotary’s racing ducks will compete, raising funds for Ridge Water swim scholarships for kids in need, books for toddlers and students, and supporting many other critical programs in Butte.

There is still time to participate and help Rotary’s effort to better Butte! Purchasing a Duck Derby ticket will sponsor a racing duck, raise funds for Butte and give you a chance to win a cash prize of $1,000, $500 or $300 if your duck finishes in the top three.

Want to invest in Butte and have a chance at a cash prize? You can do both by purchasing a duck at our web site at https://portal.clubrunner.ca/1844, scan the code below, or drop us a message if you’d like to purchase directly from a trusty Rotarian. Entries can be purchased for $25, for a single duck, or 5 ducks for $100.

You can also join in the fun at 6PM, Thursday, August 27th at Ridge Waters, grab a snack at concessions and cheer your duck on.

Butte’s D&M Builders LLC is known for quality construction, including building strong foundations. Small dirt projects, foundations, remodeling, and supporting worthy causes are among their specialties.

The Rotary Club of Butte is thankful to have the support of D&M Builders and Cory Dunne as we also work to serve the people of Butte, strengthening the foundations of our community. Our club looks forward to seeing D&M’s mallard compete during our annual Duck Derby!

D&M’s generosity will help us fund Ridge Waters swim passes for Butte kids in need, educational programs for our youth, and address many other needs in our community. These projects wouldn’t be possible without the support of businesses like D&M investing in our community and Butte Rotary!

On Thursday, August 27th, D&M’s mallard will compete with others sponsored by Butte businesses. Sponsors of winning mallards will receive either $1,000 (1st place) or $500 (2nd place) donated to the charity of their choice. The mallards face off after our “little” ducks compete to win cash prizes of $1,000, $500, or $300- paid to those purchasing an entry from a Rotarian or our web site at: https://portal.clubrunner.ca/1844

If your business would like to find out more about supporting Rotary by purchasing a mallard, please message us and we can tell you more. Interested in one of our “standard” ducks? Message us, or visit the web site above, and we can help make it happen!

The Rotary Club of Butte is honored to add Hoffman's R&M Services as a supporter and sponsor of a mallard during our annual Duck Derby! Hoffman’s is no stranger to helping build a better Butte. Whether it is through their excavation and paving work, support of Big Brothers and Sisters, or helping with Lunch in the Park, Hoffman’s has been a reliable partner and gets things done!

Hoffman’s generosity will provide swim scholarships to Ridge Waters for Butte kids in need, fund educational programs for our youth, and help address other needs in our community. These projects only happen because of the support of businesses invested in our community and we are fortunate to have Hoffman’s on board!

On Thursday, August 27th, Hoffman’s mallard will compete with others sponsored by Butte businesses.
