Join Us and Make a Difference!

After taking a week off for our Board meeting, we are back in action on Monday, and hope to see everyone at the Botanical Center.

In the meantime, there's a lot going on next week, so let's get you up to speed!

Monday, the 22nd, in addition to our regular Club meeting, we’ve been invited to Washington Junior High for their Back to School tailgate party from 5 – 6:30 PM. We can put up a table, or just go and mingle and support our Builder’s Club under the direction of Kat Nelson. Who can represent us?

Wednesday, the 24th is our first round of Terrific Kids for the 25-26 school year. 3 of the 4 schools are spoken for, but we need helpers at RI Academy at 1:30 PM (arrive at 1:20). If you can help, let Emily Adams, our Terrific Kids coordinator, know at our meeting on Monday.

Thursday, the 25, is the first Washington Winning Warrior Award Day at 7:30 AM, enter at door #1. President Jeff is planning to be there and speak, pending the delivery of his 7th grandchild. Who else can come? Let's have a great turnout for this event!

Friday, the 26 and Saturday, the 27th are 2025’s Peanut Days at Rock Island Hy-Vee. Who will volunteer to help give away peanuts and collect donations? It’d be great if our club could work with the Aktion Club. We will have signups at our meeting on Monday!

Also in the news - if you're an Augustana College alum, or just want to show your support for the college, they are celebrating their 150th anniversary of being in Rock Island this Sunday, with an event at Schwiebert Park from 6:00 to 7:30. There will be remarks and fun, and the Symphonic Band will performing.
