Exchange Student "Alvaro Pepe" Arriving Sunday!

We look forward to the arrival of exchange student Alvaro Pepe from Argentina!

He arrives this Sunday Aug 21. His plane lands at 12:21 PM. Be there with a warm smile!

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 have a lead.

Rotary Blood Drive Challenge Sept 5-10

Sign up today to donate at the Labor Day Rotary Blood Donation Challenge!

The end of summer brings the need for fall donations! Donating at this time is especially important. The Labor Day weekend causes regular donations to drop at the Donor Centers. Donating at our challenge will help to combat those drops and make sure that the supply remains steady!

As special summer THANK YOU, all donors will receive a $10 gift card (options include Amazon, Target, Walmart, Starbucks, Subway and more) OR 500 bonus points to the Impact Donor Store to spend on cool donor gear!
