School is right around the corner! 

 

I'd like to give a massive shout-out to John Schultz for his amazing efforts in raising club funds to use toward Rotary Youth Exchange (RYE) and Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), which are two youth programs that our club participates.
 
John took his passion for Rotary and cycling and combined them to ride two big events this summer, raising a total of $1,833.13
  • Ride the Rockies  -  Colorado
    • 308 miles
    • 7 days
    • 7 mountains
    • 26,890 total feet in climb
    • FUNDRAISED $1,319.71
  • RAGBRAI  -  Iowa
    • 500 miles
    • 7 days
    • No mountains, but lots of rolling hills
    • 16,549 total feet in climb
    • Many days were 100+ deg F heat index
    • This was the 6th longest and 6th hilliest ride
    • FUNDRAISED $513.42
Please take a moment to send John a congratulatory note at johnmschultz@gmail.com.
 
This month, we look forward to hearing from two of our sponsored RYLArians (one of them is an outbound Youth Exchange student) and participating in a trail clean-up along the infamous Cedar Valley Nature Trail. Watch your email with more information from Secretary Erin Steffen. Additional service projects may come available throughout the month!
 
If you are interested in learning something new or have an idea of a speaker or a service project, please reach out to me so we can work together to get it on the schedule! 
 
Thank you for being a Rotarian!
 
Yours In Rotary,
Katie Wilford
