We did it! Thanks to your generous support we exceeded our fundraising goal of $2,500 for The ALS Association’s Walk to Defeat ALS!
As you know, this is incredibly personal to us and we are so grateful that you have helped us have an impact in finding a cure. Funds raised through the Walk to Defeat ALS go directly to helping The ALS Association provide important care services and fund cutting-edge research that will lead to new treatments.
Just recently, four new genes were discovered which will help identify new treatment therapies! Thanks to your help, the progress will continue.
Once again, thank you for supporting us in The ALS Association’s Walk to Defeat ALS. We couldn’t have done this without you!
Stay well,
Kevin and Dayday

Veterans Project -- Virginia Juettner.
The home currently has 44 residents and there will be a Veteran's Day celebration beginning at 12:30 pm. Families will be able to honor residents, then 50 bikes and then our club to do a drive by of the Veteran's home. The staging area will be at Rainbow Falls. Virginia is seeking a volunteer to direct Rotarians in drive order. The day before, items that have been donates (currently large print puzzle books, preschool greetings, plants and flowers and iPads) will be dropped off at a predesignated time for residents to receive. There is a plan to purchase iPads and cost is approximately ~$329 from Costco. We have sufficient funds to purchase 4 iPads, looking for donations to purchase 5 iPads. Mike Carroll, Doug Adams, Curt Sharp, Preston and Ken Barns, and Virginia and Bob have volunteered to purchase an iPad, making it possible to purchase more than 5 iPads.
District Auction -- Mary Begier
Mary is still accepting donations for the District 5000 auction. Just send a picture and information about the donation and she will put it on the website. Mary asked that Rotarians share the auction site with everyone, Rotarian and non-Rotarian. The auction closes on Monday, the 26th at 8 p.m.
Thank you, Mary for the efforts you have put in to make this happen.
Just as a reminder, all donations from RCHB will come back to RCHB.
