Grace Pesavento and Laurie Knott attended theMinooka Community High School District #1111 Interact Club kickoff meeting.

MCHS Interact Club has many wonderful service projects planned for the year. Their first service project was coloring drawings for ‘Color a Smile’: a nonprofit organization spreading smiles with cheerful drawings. These drawings are then sent to senior citizens, our troops overseas, or anyone who may need a smile to brighten their day.

The students are doing amazing things locally and and globally. Our club is so proud to support them in their efforts.

Had a wonderful time supporting fellow Rotarian and Superintendent Dr. Robert Schiffbauer this past weekend at
Minooka Community High School District #111 South Campus Field House ribbon cutting. They had a great turnout to share their brand new 90,000 square foot facility and it’s gorgeous!

Every detail was meticulously thought out: the same track flooring that was used in the Paris Olympics, the basketball courts, a huge video screen, an incredible weight room, and an impressive Championship Hall.

Such an amazing space for all of the student athletes who will get to train, compete, grow, and create memories for years to come in this state of the art facility.

Well done, MCHS!

Yesterday was a great day! We had our district Governor Mary Dankowski, assistant Governor Paul Mills, and assistant Governor coordinator JoAnne Ragona attend our club assembly.

Lots of wonderful information was shared with a room full of enthusiastic Rotarians. Thank you for visiting us. We enjoyed the presentation very much and even took a group photo with those who stuck around. How lucky are we to be a part of something special!

Got to see the Outdoor Fitness Court, 8 Pickleball Courts, 2 Bocce Ball Courts and the Sand Volleyball court. They gave live demonstrations, had giveaways, and had free snow cones for all by Kona Ice. What a wonderful turnout!

Today, we had our first guest speaker of the 2026-2027 Rotary year!

Brett Weiss with Ascend Kenya, presented to our group and gave an academic update on the student our club sponsors in Kenya.

Brett also brought a special guest with him today; A student who lived in Kenya last year and is now attending a University here in Illinois. This young man’s story really made an impact, causing us to reflect on the things we complain about and/or take for granted here.

Asante Sana Brett Weiss It was great having you and Lewis join us today.
