Rotarians pick up after themselves....and others | Posted by Tim Kershaw | on May 12, 2012 |
On Saturday, May 12 members of the Rexburg Rotary Club cleaned their stretch of Interstae Highway 20 just north of Sugar City. Club members reflect on the first time we cleaned this section - it took most of the day and many truckloads to remove all the trash. Through consistent bi-annual cleaning efforts the amount of trash in this section has been reduced to about 20 orange bags, which took 10 participants just over an hour to collect. Weather was very nice (which is usually not the case). Thanks to all those who assisted in this project. If you missed it, you will have another chance in October.

Wow! - the people just kept coming. The Harlem Ambassador show was a huge success. Over 1,700 persons came to enjoy this night of comedy and fun play. There was something for everyone to enjoy.

Rotary Club Presents Wreath at Veterans Day Program | Posted by Tim Kershaw | on Nov 15, 2011 |
The Rexburg Rotary Club was honored to present a memorial wreath at the annual Veterans Day Program on Friday, November 11. Rotarian Judge Greg Moeller offered the opening remarks. What a wonderful way to bring in the Thanksgiving and Christmas season as we gave thanks for those who have served, and continue to serve our Country. More than 10 years ago, Rotarian Lynn Archibald envisioned the construction of the memorial that provided the backdrop for this program. We are immensely proud of Lynn, the Rotary Club, The City of Rexburg, and many other service organizations that contribued to this magnificent memorial located on the southeast corner of Smith Park in Rexburg. |
Dictionaries for all Madison County 3rd grade students | Posted by Tim Kershaw | on Nov 14, 2011 |
On November 10-11, members of the Rexburg Rotary club presented every 3rd grade student in Madison County with their very own dictionary. Each year for the last 3 years, the club has reached out to these students to express the importance of a commitment to education. Students learned how fortunate they are to have the learning opportunities afforded them. They were challenged to get as much education as possible so that they would be able to give back to their own communities, wherever that may be. They learned about the commitment of Rotary to finish the task of eradicating Polio in the four remaining countries where Polio still devestates thousads of children about their age. The children were so excited to receive this gift, and their teachers assured us that they will put them to good use this year. We hope these students will continue make learning a part of their lives. Thanks to school administrators and teachers for allowing us to spend some time with these wonderful young citizens (and hopefully future Rotarins). |
