November is Foundation Month

Rotarians around the world are celebrating the impact of The Rotary Foundation in November. We celebrate by remembering the impact our support is having on eradicating polio, funding humanitarian community projects sponsored by clubs, and the ways in which our work helps create peace by alleviating the need where it exists.

Noon Rotary is currently at $1,503, or 37.5% of our goal of $4,000 for this Rotary year (last year, the club gave $8,502).

Last Week Speaker Summary

Jenn Scott from Food and Farm Exploration Center presented to the club on changes in agriculture due to advancing technologies, like tractors that drive themselves using GPS coordinates. You can learn more about precision farming by visiting the Food and Farm building in Plover.
