Rotary Ambassasors At Work

Last night, Kathy Dreyer helped sell pizza at the Heid Music Downtown Summer Concert Series in Houdini Plaze - just one of the Rotary Ambassador volunteer opportunities in our community.

Rotary Ambassadors

The Rotary Ambassadors are heading into their fourth year. Based on the membership survey results, it is still a viable and valuable program for our members. There have been many volunteer opportunities available to members throughout the community to work on individually or as a team. Not only do members get to know one another and have fun but these projects have helped make a difference in our community. Last year, 590 volunteer hours were provided to the Sharing Around (the World) Medical Project, Building Together Fox Valley, the Children’s Parade, the Concerts in Houdini Plaza, Madison Middle School Tutoring, Housing Partnership of the Fox Valley, Harbor House, planting in Washington Square, Knowledge-A-Thon, Soccer Tournament, the Food Pantry and the Fox Valley Sibling Support Network Santa Celebration.

Rotary Ambassador Goodwill Collection

On Tuesday May 24^th we will have a drive for goods for Goodwill. So start to clean those closets for things you no longer wear or need. It will be a “Team” competition as to which team will donate the most items for a great cause. Make-ups will be given to the winning team members. Goodwill is very supportive of SAMP and this is a small way to pay them back for all that they do for Rotary. Please count all of your items and turn in a slip of paper with your name, number of goods and which Team you are on. A truck from Goodwill will be present to pick up all of the items. The truck will be located on the east side of the Paper Valley Hotel (across from the parking ramp on Superior Street)—you can drive up and unload. There will also be people there to help.

Housing Partnership of the Fox Cities

Thanks to the Orange team and others who volunteered for the Housing Partnership for the Fox Cities on Saturday, April 9th.
