Desk for Sale

Several years ago, the club purchased this adjustable Vari-desk for the Rotary office. Jennifer no longer can use it and so we are selling it for a donation to the club. It's adjustable and allows you to work while standing. There's also a comfort mat for standing. Please contact Jennifer and make an offer.

Thank you to everyone who helped with bell ringing this year! We raised $2635!!!

Donate to the Rotary Foundation

Consider a donation to the Rotary Foundation before the end of the year. Your gifts to the Rotary Foundation do good both here locally and around the world. We ask every Rotarian Every Year to consider a donation to the Rotary Foundation. Any amount is appreciated. A $100 donation will make you a sustaining member. When you reach a $1000 cumulative, you will be recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow. Every $1000 level is recognized as a Paul Harris +1, +2 etc.

If you have never donated before, we will match your first $100.

The easiest way to donate is online here: https://my.rotary.org/en/donate
