We meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays from 5:30-7pm at Pour Bros. in the Element Hotel in Moline, IL. Twin Rivers Rotary After Hours is a Rotary Club located in the Quad Cities. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month at Radicle Effect Brewerks in Rock Island. Everyone arrives between 5:30 and 6 with the meeting starting at 6pm. Outside food is allowed into the brewery, so feel free to bring whatever type of food you prefer! As a non-traditional Rotary Club, and different from the other clubs in the area, we only have two meetings a month. In place of the other 2 meetings, we have at least one service project and a social event each month. We ask all of our members to volunteer at least 12 hours a year, and our Service Committee tries to plan more than one service project each month to offer a variety of options that work with everyone’s varying schedules. Some of our service projects have included:
--wrapped trees for Living Lands and Waters Million Trees project.
--volunteered at Gilda’s Club Bags & Brews event.
--helped QC Closet2Closet at their facility for shopping events for foster children in the Quad Cities.
--painted a mural in downtown Davenport for Dress4Success.
--Had over 70 people help pack food backpacks for kids at Riverbend Foodbank.
--volunteered at King’s Harvest homeless shelter in downtown Davenport. We have a lot of fun together, and examples of some of our social events in the last year include:
--Jingle Jaunt our annual Ugly Sweater event
--trivia nights at local bars/restaurants
--Rotary Night at the Ballpark at a River Bandits baseball game
Our dues are $45 per quarter, or $180 per year. We are a member of Rotary International, which is the world's first service club organization, with more than 1.2 million members in 33,000 clubs worldwide. Members of Rotary clubs, known as Rotarians, are volunteers who work locally, regionally, and internationally to combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, provide education and job training, promote peace, and eradicate polio under the motto Service Above Self.
