Time is running out fast if you want to participate in our next whiskey-tasting social event this Tuesday, October 17, at the home of Will and Karen Almas, 45 Canyon Shadows Road. Let Ken Schreuder ken.schreuder@gmail.com know today if you plan to be there.  Irish Whiskey will be featured this month!

 

The Lander Rotary Club has raised enough money to send 12 more solar panel phone chargers to Ukraine, which increases our total to 16!  This batch of panels was converted and decorated by students at Pathfinder and Fort Washakie High Schools and at Faith Lutheran Church. Congratulations and THANK YOU to everyone who has stepped up and helped  raise money, convert, and decorate these panels that are so appreciated by the people of Ukraine.  Ken Schreuder is leading this project.  Keep up the good work!

 

We say “Welcome” to our newest – and returning – Rotarian, Marit Snow Sawyer, who has returned after a couple of years away, teaching and working in Guinea-Bissau, Hungary and Salt Lake City.  She’s now working at Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality here in Lander.  Happy to have you back, Marit!

 

The club will be electing officers and directors for the 2024-25 Rotary Year (beginning July 1, 2024) in December.  If you’re interested in these positions, contact President Mandy Fabel at mandyjfabel@gmail.com.
