Rogers Rotary enjoyed taking part in Word of Peaces’ 1st Annual Truck or Treat Event. The cold, rainy weather did not keep us or the kids from coming out and having a great time! Special thank you to Chief of Police Jeff Beahen for the squad car.

Rotary Friendship Exchange
One of the many benefits of being a Rotary member is the International Exchange Program giving Rotarians and Rotary couples opportunities to experience other cultures by staying in the homes of Rotarians, visiting their clubs and participating in the life style and activities of their community.
The goal of Rotary Friendship Exchange is to advance international understanding and peace through visits across borders and to promote interclub relationships, fellowships and service projects.
Join Rotary and gain opportunities to make long lasting friendships while exploring different areas of the world.

Students Connecting Through International Service
Tammie Epley of Students Connecting Through International Service spoke with Rogers Rotary. An important six-school program helps 5th graders lead school supply drives and then deliver the supplies directly to Mexican students. These Mexican children are required to provide their own school supplies to attend school, and most can’t, so the MN kids are making it possible for the Mexican students to get an education. The MN students benefit too! They learn about another culture, gain a deeper appreciation for their own schools and communities, and find out first-hand that their individual efforts can make a real difference in the world. After the trip, they share this knowledge, through video, pictures, and stories, with each of their schools and communities We think this program is helping all of the students to progress towards becoming successful, contributing global citizens.
