It was a pleasure last Friday evening, 08/28, to be hosted by the Heartland Ambucks Chapter for a work session to put together some AMTRYKES. Thank you, Bev for sending in the troops. It was a joy to joining with so many enthusiastic people to assemble trikes which will benefit some deserving children. Thank you Darrell Olsen, Bullmoose Brothers bike shop for hosting the event.

We had a great time last Friday welcoming John Wright of Hardin County Schools as our guest speaker! 🎓

John gave us an informative look at the state of our school district, including the upcoming construction of “Trojan Way” Elementary in Radcliff and exciting plans for facility upgrades and new construction throughout the district.

We always enjoy learning more about what’s happening in our community—and it sounds like there’s plenty of exciting growth ahead! 🏫🚧

Thank you, John, for joining us and sharing your insight with the club! 👏

🐾 What’s YOUR why? 💙

At our Friday, August 7 meeting, we welcomed Sarah Fellows and Valerie Haddle with Friends of Hardin County Animal Shelter!

They shared about the organization’s partnership with the Hardin County Animal Shelter and the many ways their volunteers help support animals in our community — from spay/neuter programs and rescue transport to adoption assistance and more. 🐶🐱

We appreciate Sarah and Valerie taking the time to share their mission with us and for the work they do to give shelter animals a better chance at finding loving forever homes! ❤️

Thank you for reminding us to ask: What’s YOUR why? 💙💛

Friday 7/24: The Hardin County AM Rotary Club had the pleasure of hearing from Quint Pottinger, owner of Affinity Farms in New Haven.

Quint shared how his family farm is embracing the future of agriculture through autonomous farming technology and other innovative practices. It was fascinating to learn how they’re staying on the cutting edge of an industry that’s rapidly evolving while continuing to build on generations of farming tradition.

Thank you, Quint, for giving us an inside look at the future of farming and for sharing your vision with our club! 🌾🚜🤖

Friday, 7/31, Jo Ann Heppermann, President of Rotary Club of Prospect Goshen, spoke to our club and invited us to join her Kentucky Stamp Out Cervical Cancer Initiative. Jo Ann  made a very compelling presentation that showed the areas in our state where cervical cancer is most prevalent. She also shared with us impressive statistics on the effectiveness of the vaccination, which when properly administered eliminates the chance of that child from ever getting cervical cancer.
