MEMBER RELATIONS HAPPY HOUR FEBRUARY 5TH
IOWA WOLVES ROTARY POLIO PLUS NIGHT FEBRUARY 22, 3PM
Rotary Polio Plus Night with the Iowa Wolves is basically basketball colliding with the State Fair at full speed. Expect halftime chaos, butter sculpting of questionable intent, fainting goats (no joke!), a mechanical pig, and dignity checks at every turn. Buy tickets like our club’s reputation depends on it because free tickets and the (Ed) Arnold Cup are on the line. Come for the game, leave buttery, slightly humbled, and forever changed.
Anupam will bulk purchase tickets to make sure the clown-show is together. Can’t go? We’ll donate the tix to Big Brother Big Sister, Iowa Homeless Youth Shelter, Boys and Girls Club.
Anupam Mittra, Community Service Chair
NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION SESSON
Join us for our New Member Orientation on Friday, January 23, immediately following our regular Rotary meeting. In just 40 minutes, you'll gain valuable insight into Rotary, our Club, and all the benefits of your membership. You'll also meet fellow new members, our New Member Committee, and Board members—making Friday mornings even more welcoming! We'll gather in the Wakonda Bar.
Judy Ralston-Hansen, New Member Orientation Committee Chair
