Plan now to join us Wednesday at noon at the Maser Monarch Lodge for our weekly Rotary meeting. This week Megan Vigdal with Iowa Lakeside Laboratory will be sharing information on the Cooperative Lakes Area Monitoring Project (or CLAMP). CLAMP is the longest running water monitoring program in the State of Iowa and run primarily by volunteers. Find out how you can help with this important effort on Wednesday. See you then!
Registration is now open for the 2025 Rotary Move for Mental Health Walk/Run to be held on Saturday, August 23 starting at Pearson Lakes Art Center. The event is a collaboration between the Iowa Great Lakes Rotary and Dickinson County Behavioral Health Coalition to not only promote movement and activity as a great way to boost mental health, but also to raise funds to sponsor behavioral health speakers and resources for Dickinson County schools.

Congratulations to Dayle Broocks on winning the 2025 Car Drop! Melanie Becker presented a check to Dayle for $1000 in April for winning the 2025 car drop.
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.
