Welcome to Iowa Great Lakes Rotary!

We Meet Wednesdays at Noon - Join Us!

Join us Wednesdays at Noon for Rotary! (12/11)

Plan now to join us Wednesday at noon at the Maser Monarch Lodge for our weekly Rotary meeting. This week in lieu of a program, we will do an impromptu service project making cards with holiday messages for local care center residents. No artistic talent needed - we are simply sharing messages of joy on colorful notecards. Blank cards, markers and stickers will be provided. Please plan now to attend to help spread some simple holiday joy to our local neighbors!

See you Wednesday at Maser Monarch Lodge!

Car Drop Tickets On Sale Now

SELL SELL SELL! Please get out and sell your tickets and encourage your out-of-town friends to buy tickets on-line. Sales are a slow, so let's get selling!

It's that time of year again! Get your tickets for the annual Iowa Great Lakes Rotary Car Drop. You could win $1000 if the Rotary car on Smith’s Bay falls through the ice at your purchased time (car will be placed on the ice after the new year when there is adequate ice on the lake). All proceeds go to local community projects, with special thanks to Boji Towing for donating and moving the car this year. Purchase your tickets today from any Rotary member or by clicking the link on the left side of this page. A winner will be randomly drawn from all tickets if for some reason there isn't enough ice to put the car out - so get your chance to win today!

Congratulations to John Battern - Paul Harris +3 Recognition!

Congratulations to Rotarian John Battern for being recognized as a Pail Harris +3 donor to the Rotary Foundation. The Paul Harris Fellow recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, of $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation. Each subsequent donation of $1,000 (cumulatively) adds an additional Paul Harris recognition. Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects. Thank you John for your continued support of the Rotary Foundation.
