We recently spent a gratifying evening at the No. IL Food Bank. After being paired with the Geneva Middle School Leos Club, the team proceeded to pack 4,000 pounds of sweet potatoes. That’s 2 tons! In just under 2 hours! Rotarians are People of Action who have joined together to make our community a better place to live. Visit us at an upcoming breakfast meeting to learn more about Rotary.
We are happy to share that we’ve completed our February funding session. Eight deserving Not-for-Profits will receive a total of $18,800. This funding supports impactful and important projects each organization delivers within our community. This round of funding brings our grant total for this fiscal year to $50,542. Our next funding session is in August 2024. Grant guidelines and applications can be downloaded from our home page. Funding is made possible by the continued support of our annual Corvette Raffle. The next raffle will begin in June with the grand prize drawing in November. More information on our raffle can be found at www.BataviaRotaryCharities.com.

Rotarians were up early to help at the NAMI Walk, with ~200 participants starting at the Peg Bond Center. Down on Main Street, Valley Sheltered Workshop celebrated exceeding their “Hog Wild” fundraising goal. Our $5,000 matching grant brought the total raised to $12,000, not including the 50/50 and the walk-in traffic.
