Satellite meetings: On the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month we meet at Ancestry Cellars in Manson at 5 p.m., and on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month we meet at The Vogue in downtown Chelan at 7 a.m. All are welcome to join any of our meetings.

Kindergarten Buildings at Kisiriri Complete |
|
Take a look at the before and after photos of the three new classrooms that AfricaWaterBank has just completed building on behalf of the Lake Chelan Rotary Club at the Kisiriri Primary School in Kenya. But this Brighter Futures project is not finished yet! Watch for progress soon on the new desks for students and a vibrant color scheme. On the outside, rain gutters and a 10,000 liter water tank with a nano filter for clean pure water will follow. Lake Chelan Rotary is making a big impact with our International Service projects thanks to generous community donors. |

911 Glass Rescue Pulverizer Assembled and Ready to Crush Soon |

Dave Spencer, Andela Products Supervisor, was on site in Chelan this past week to work with the 911 Glass Rescue team to set up the new glass pulverizer. It is now installed at the glass repurposing/recycling center and getting ready for final touches before July operations begin. A big thank you to Julie McCoy and the team of volunteers who worked in very warm temperatures to get this accomplished.

Club dues invoices were sent via email to all members in early May and are now considered past due. If you have not seen your invoice, please contact Dan Hodge to let him know. Dues for the 2021-2022 Rotary year remain at $275, with the option of an additional $75 as a donation to the Rotary Foundation. Our club will continue the tradition of matching an additional $25 for each member donating the $75, resulting in a $100 donation to EREY (Every Rotarian Every Year).
A credit card payment option is available for a $10 processing fee. If you would like to pay your invoice by credit card, please respond to the invoice email and a revised invoice including the fee will be sent.
