Inspire 2024 was a truly fantastic event, with Dave and Marge capping off the evening as Citizens of the Year. In true Brown fashion, they complimented the volunteer culture of Batavia and thanked the event’s attendees for all they do in our city. They have certainly raised the bar! Joining previous COTY honorees Tom Von Lunen and Dan Hoefler, we now have four Citizens of the Year who are active Rotarians. Enjoy a few photos from the event.
We recently spent a gratifying evening at the No. IL Food Bank. After being paired with the Geneva Middle School Leos Club, the team proceeded to pack 4,000 pounds of sweet potatoes. That’s 2 tons! In just under 2 hours! Rotarians are People of Action who have joined together to make our community a better place to live. Visit us at an upcoming breakfast meeting to learn more about Rotary.
We are happy to share that we’ve completed our February funding session. Eight deserving Not-for-Profits will receive a total of $18,800. This funding supports impactful and important projects each organization delivers within our community. This round of funding brings our grant total for this fiscal year to $50,542. Our next funding session is in August 2024. Grant guidelines and applications can be downloaded from our home page. Funding is made possible by the continued support of our annual Corvette Raffle.
