Sun Lakes Rotary Teacher of the Month

Sun Lakes Rotary Club (Chartered April 22, 1986) is a leadership organization made up of men and women from local businesses, professional, education, civic and emerging leaders. We meet regularly, get to know each other, form friendships, and through that we’re able to get things done in our greater Sun Lakes community. Come join us and share our passion for community service and friendship.

Passing of Rotarian: Dale Rusk, September 7, 2020

Dale was born October 6, 1927 in Iowa and grew up on a farm near Newton, Iowa. He graduated from Newton High School and farmed with his brother. Dale decided to join the Army National Guard in 1951. His Guard unit was called to active duty and soon found himself on the front line in the Korea war. His unit was involved in a great amount of action. Dale, as an Army cook like to say he spent his time in Korea with a cooking spoon in one hand and an M1 rifle in the other. Soon he was promoted to Sargent and after his return to Iowa he began farming again and met a wonderful lady, Helene. They were married on September 12,1954 and together they have three children and four grandchildren.

AFRICAN REGION CERTIFIED WILD POLIO-FREE

Rotary International just announced that the African region has just been certified wild poliovirus-free.

Rotary members have played an invaluable role in the effort to rid the African region of wild polio. We should be proud of all the hard work that we have done to eliminate the wild poliovirus throughout Africa and in nearly every country in the world.

Water Bottles for Elementary Students

San Marcos Elementary of the Chandler Unified School District needed assistance in providing a personal water bottle for each student because the water fountains will be shut off due to COVID-19 concerns as students return to school. In working with Principal Becky Henderson, we were able to furnish 400 water bottles at a cost of $554.
