May 2024
 
Neighbors Day was a big success.  One hundred forty-six volunteers cleaned 31 yards in Caledonia plus the Gazebo Park.  Our club organized the service project, chaired by Sherry Sime.  Thanks to Sherry for a superb job !  Volunteers from the 9th and 4th grades of Caledonia Area Schools along with their teachers and paras and administrators, local businesses, organizations and community individuals participated.  The volunteers enjoyed pizza at Elsie's compliments of Rotary and Thrivent.  Though windy and a little chilly, it was a great day of service to the community.  
 
 
The Rotary Club's rummage sale will be held on Friday, May 17, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 517 S Ramsey St in Caledonia (Sherry's garage).. Members are to bring items to sell after noon  on Wednesday, May 15, or on Thursday.  We'll ask members to help so sign up will be at our next two meetings.
 
May Meeting programs:
 
May 3 -- Joe Rusky will speak about cybersecurity and ways we as businesses and individuals can protect ourselves.  You have probably heard of him when  he served as our district governor.  He owns a business that specializes in cybersecurity.
 
May 10 -- Our resident librarian, Ashley, will present a program on Banned Books.
 
May 17 -- Club Assembly (we will review our 2023-24 goals and establish some for 2024-25, sign up for next year's club duties ie programs etc, share info about ourselves)  Guess it's important to attend so you have a voice in what's happening!
