Grow to Share -- Proposal for Community Grant

Tonya Schmitt, with help from Lisa Barbian, spoke to Rotary about how Grow to Share would use Rotary’s grant to benefit the community through their work in growing food, producing and distributing food, and educating the community about food. She started by emphasizing the benefits on a personal and professional level from association with GTS. Click Read More for details if you didn't read them in a previous Tidings.

Fun meeting to open 2024

Kendra led the group of us through a fun and spirited game of Rotary Jeopardy. This is the game that District Governor Patricia McCleese had intended for us to play during her recent visit to River Falls, but technical difficulties -- human error, actually -- prevented her from doing that. We made good use of the game last Tuesday, clearing the board. Kudos to Team 3, and it was reassuring that we weren't often too stumped to provide a correct question to the answer on the board.

Rotary Global Grant near Pune India

Ted Nesse from the Stillwater Sunrise Rotary Club spoke to our club about the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) project for rural schools near Pune, India. According to the 2011 Census of India, Pune is the ninth-most populous city in India with a population of 3.1 million residents within the city limits and has a population of 7.2 million residents in the metropolitan region making it the eighth-most populous metropolitan area in India. But that doesn’t mean that the surrounding region has modern facilities.
