Last night, our Rotary Club assembled over 100 birthday bags for local families in need! Each bag included cake mix, cake tins, frosting, candles, plates, a book, a Children’s Museum pass, and more.

These bags will be distributed through CommUnity Food Bank to help make birthdays a little brighter for local children and families. 💙

Bowl for Kid’s Sake 2026 – our Rotary Club has supported this fundraiser for many years thanks to the leadership of Sandy Pickup. This year the star of the team was President Peggy Grimmer as you can see from the photo below, please note the professional posture she has when rolling the bowling ball. Her score reflects her posture 😊. Bravo to the entire team for camaraderie and supporting a great nonprofit.
