The District Conference is almost here. This is going to be a great two days with Rotarians from all over the state coming together to make the world a better place. I hope you are planning to attend.
I am excited to hear about the new things happening at Bison Ridge Recycling and how the transition has been going. And I hope to see you at the meeting this week.
We also have the Linear Trail cleanup and the New Member Orientation coming up soon. I hope you can join us for some or all of these great events.
Also, we still need a few volunteers for Common Table next week. Here is the link to sign up. https://tinyurl.com/mwxnsk4t
Cole Wilson Bison Ridge Recycling
Bison Ridge Recycling is the new name for Howies Recycling, since Howies trash service was sold in January 2026.
District Conference is on October 23rd and 24th here in Manhattan
If you have been to a district conference in the past, you know how amazing it can be. This year, our very own Michelle Sink is planning the event, and her events are always amazing. We will be joining with District 5680, so there will be even more Rotarians at this event. Here is the link to sign up, and I hope to see you there. And if you need a little help covering the registration fee, there are a few $100 scholarships left; just message Mark Rose.
Hello everyone! I hope you’re all having a great week! We’re planning our Linear Trail cleanup for Saturday, October 31st, from 10:00–11:30 AM! Since we’ll be celebrating Halloween, feel free to bring along family and friends and dress up for the occasion! We’d love to see everyone wearing their Rotary shirts with a fun Halloween twist. Thank you in advance to everyone who can join us and help keep our community beautiful. We appreciate you all and look forward to seeing you there!
