Another successful Metro North Rotary Envelope Challenge is complete!
The 3rd Annual Envelope Challenge, presented by Honkamp, raised an incredible $22,035, with all 150 envelopes sold in exactly eight weeks!
The two-month online fundraiser invites Rotarians, local businesses and community members to purchase envelopes, with each envelope contributing to Metro North Rotary's charitable giving and service activities throughout the Cedar Rapids community.
It's been a busy few months for Bianca, Metro North Rotary's inbound Rotary Youth Exchange student from Italy!
Since arriving in Cedar Rapids this past August, Bianca has been attending Kennedy High School and making the most of her exchange experience. She has visited our club twice so far, first to introduce herself and most recently to share an update on how her year is going. We enjoyed hearing from her and look forward to following along as she continues to make memories in Iowa.
Metro North Rotarians recently combined a little social time with community service during an evening at Lucky's on 16th. While enjoying time together outside of their regular meetings, members also collected diapers in support of YPN and the Eastern Iowa Diaper Bank as part of their October diaper drive.
Metro North Rotary is excited to announce that we have a new home for our weekly meetings!
Beginning with our July 23rd meeting, our club will meet at the Hiawatha Community Center, located at 101 Emmons Street, Hiawatha, IA 52233. Following the closing of Biaggi's at the end of June, the club carefully evaluated several potential locations before selecting a space that best supports our members, guests and the future of Metro North Rotary.
Metro North Rotary recently celebrated a milestone in its longstanding partnership with Metro High School, marking 16 years of serving lunch to the school's dedicated faculty and staff at the conclusion of the academic year. Each year, the luncheon serves as a small token of appreciation for the educators and staff members who make a lasting impact on the lives of students throughout our community. Their commitment to helping young people learn, grow and succeed reflects the same spirit of service that guides Rotary's mission.
