We need your feedback to guide our decision on the timing to resume meeting in person. The Club has been notified that we would be allowed to resume meetings at the Elks Lodge. Dave's has offered to prepare boxed lunches instead of a buffet. We also could arrange for a socially distance meeting for the Satellite Club if members feel comfortable.
Please take the quick survey below at your first available.
Party in the Park Popcorn - The first two Party in the Park events have been post opened with hopes of holding them later this summer. The Club will plan to sell popcorn again this year when the parties resume.
July 4th Festivities - Mark Wicks shared that the Chamber and committees are working on plans for July 4th activities that can fit with gathering and social distancing requirements. Community input and ideas are appreciated!

World Clubfoot Day is June 3rd! On June 3rd clubfoot families and healthcare workers around the globe celebrate World Clubfoot Day. The date was chosen to commemorate the birthdate of Dr. Ignacio Ponseti, (1914-2009) the developer of the Ponseti Method to treat clubfoot.
The goal of World Clubfoot Day is to raise awareness about clubfoot disability and its treatment using the Ponseti Method, a non-surgical treatment that includes gentle manipulation of the feet followed by the application of plaster casts and temporary clubfoot bracing.
The Rotary Action Group for Clubfoot is group of Rotarians from Iowa and around the world that raise money and awareness to support the timely Ponseti Method treatment and appropriate care for all children born with clubfoot. On this day, we stand in partnership with the Ponseti International Association as well as Clubfoot Solutions. See your email for how you can make a donation to support this cause!
