Rotarians had the opportunity to harness their inner scout at our Rotary After Hours event at Camp Saukenauk. Many thanks to Rotarian Ricci Dula and his team at the Mississippi Valley Council, Boy Scouts of America for arranging target shooting, canoeing, zip lining before and after the sun went down, trail walking, dinner and a bonfire. A great time was had by all! Extra kudos to those who returned the following morning and split firewood as a special service project!

After typhoons hit Leyte province in the Philippines, the local community was left without food, shelter, or clean water. The typhoons devastated the area, which no longer had proper toilet facilities, and made disease and infection more prevalent in the community. Rotary helped with immediate relief, rebuilding homes and bringing food supplies to Leyte. Through their efforts, they built new toilet facilities and restored the water supply, giving 1,100 people access to proper toilet facilities and almost 600 people a regular supply of clean water.![]()
