November is Rotary Foundation Month - Check your email for a Giving Tuesday message from the Rotary Foundation. Please consider The Rotary Foundation when planning your philanthropic giving. Last year Rotarians who gave between $25 To $50 made up over 20% of the total given to our Foundation. If each of us could give at least $25 we could triple the good Rotary is doing in the world! You can be invoiced through our Club (see Chuck) or give directly through or go to my.rotary.org

Sign up for your meals! We continue to ask our members to sign up for meals each week to help us control food waste and membership costs. The weekly menus are also shown on the sheet. Please be sure to sign up by noon on Fridays!
Not sure if you will make it? It is better to put your name on the list by noon Friday and take it off later if needed. We need to give an accurate count to Dave's so we have enough meals for our members and guests.

Program: This week's program was presented by Bob Moen with an update on the Charles City Depot renovation and the American Passenger Trail History Museum project. The project now needs around $968,000 to complete the renovations. They have been awarded a grant for $150,000 and have a $100,000 match from the Smith family to kick off their fundraising. This project will create a trailhead with a public bathroom for the Charley Western Trail and a unique museum with community meeting space.
