Quarterly Donation Recipients

During the Iowa Great Lakes Rotary quarterly club assembly held on July 5, the club voted to donate to the following three organizations this quarter: Alzheimer's Association, Okoboji Foundation Youth in Philanthropy and Rosecrance Jackson Treatment Center. Accepting on behalf of the Alzheimer's Association was Susan Parriott, MN Chapter Director, and on behalf of te Youth in Philanthropy were: Mindy Gress, Foundation President; Allison Schmitz, YIP Coordinator; and Nora Conover, YIP Student. Cheryl Bruntsma with Rosecrance Jackson also accepted their donation, but the photo isn't available yet at this time.

The donations are part of the Iowa Great Lakes Rotary Club's process for distributing member contributions. Each quarter, club members will take an active part in distributing the money via an in person vote and discussion. We look forward to hearing more about how each of these donations has made an impact and will feature photos from each organization in upcoming newsletters.

The car dropped! Spring is here!
