Rogers Rotary President Floyd Ingersoll (far left) is spearheading a shoe collection in support of Shoe Away Hunger.  Club members gathered around the overflowing gaylord box of new and gently used shoes that has already been donated at the CROSS Services location (12915 Weinand Circle in Rogers).

Other drop-off sites are available. Contact Rotarian Dave Christian (612-859-5847) to schedule a delivery. The club welcomes your slightly used shoes, work boots, flip flops, winter boots and kids’ shoes. Please bind each shoe securely with its mate!

Shoe Away Hunger sells shoes for $5/pair — with $5 enough to feed two people for a week through their program. Thank you for helping support this valuable service.

Rotarians regularly support The Rotary Foundation and its worldwide impact on clean water, literacy, health care, the environment, and more.

Past president Dave Christian (holding pin) presented Lee Ashfeld with his Major Donor recognition pin at the closing meeting of the 2020-21 Rotary year. Ashfeld is a charter member of Rogers Rotary and served as president in 2007-08. He has also held District 5950 positions as Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Governor for Area 7.

Rogers Rotarians and members across District 5950 will celebrate Marianna Khauv’s (“cove”) installation as 2021-22 District Governor on June 24. Marianna represents the Rotary Club of Monticello, a fellow Area 7 club.

Congratulations, District Governor-Elect!
