Our in-bound Rotary Exchange Student - Alvaro - arrived Sunday August 21 from Argentina. He began attending Kennedy HS on August 23.
He has finalized his classes, attended his first PEP Assembly, signed up for Soccer, has a KHS Activity App/Pass, a US cell phone Sim card, and his CRB&T "teen" bank account we support. His English skills improved a lot in 1 week! He is a delightful, happy young man. We thank the Globokar family, a kind host-family for him.
Consider hosting Alvaro in his 2nd or 3rd trimester at Kennedy HS. Also ask friends and neighbors as well. Contact Bruce or Mary if you want to discuss.
Fall Metro Rotary Trail Clean-up will be on October 22nd. Marky your calendars! The Metro Rotary clubs have a long-standing past tradition of supporting the Cedar Lake Park, however, due to construction in the area, the city has asked Rotary to help in another area of the trail this year.
We will be helping with invasive plant removal and trash clean up along the Cedar Trail through downtown starting at 10 a.m. with a social at Black Sheep Social Club afterwards. Bring families too!
Details including the starting location will be announced.
We are meeting "live" at Matthew 25 Groundswell Cafe. A Zoom option is available to join remotely. Send an email for the link, to this address CRSunriseRotary@gmail.com
