| LITERACY PROJECT - Wayne Steiner |
|
|
We are still accepting donations of sporting equipment and books. If you have collected some items, they can be dropped off at FCB Bank, Louis Latzer Library or Terra Properties. Jake Gutzler was able to spark some interest outside our community by mentioning our project at a breakfast fundraiser. Great job Jake! |
| FISH RACE - Rick Ringwald |
|
|
Now is the time for everyone to be busy selling tickets. We need to sell 600 tickets just to cover the First Place prize, so please do your best. The proceeds will support our International and Literacy projects. All sold tickets should be turned in by March 17th. This will allow us to prepare the numbered fish for the race. We will still accept tickets up to the race on March 22nd. |
| COMMUNITY SERVICE - Jan Brinker |
|
The Pregnancy Care Center's Spring Banquet is on Thursday, March 19 and they are needing some help. This banquet is prepared and served solely through donated time. If you are available, and not attending, this could be a great way to support the local center. Contact Carrie Adolph for further information.
Laura Foerster is looking for help stuffing 300 - 400 goodie bags at St. Joseph's Hospital, 4th Floor, Patient Dining Room, on Friday, March 20, 2009 at 3:00 PM. This is a family-friendly event, so kids are welcome to pitch in! Contact Laura (618-651-2757) if you can help out.
Laura is also looking for child care providers for children of those wanting to attend a smoke cessation class. Contact her if you can help out.
Be sure and let Jan know all the service hours you put in...remember we have a goal of 10,000 hours. To find out more info on any of the above areas to volunteer email Jan Brinker at jan_korte_brinker @yahoo.com. |

Dave Rehkemper
Dave was one of four children born to dairy farmers in St Rose. He attended Mater Dei high school and then went on to barber school. He proceeded to be a barber for five years when he went into the car dealership business. He was 24 years young when him and two others opened Tri-Ford (three owners, hence the name). He and his wife Monica have two children and two grandchildren. His favorite past time or hobby is golf. His ideal vacation is going to Destin with his family. He has been in Rotary for 30 years. |
