Honoring Past President Ivar Olsen

Past District Governor Steve Wright honored last year's club president, Ivar Olsen, with an acknowledgement of the club's generosity his leadership supported. While Ivar was president, 100% of club members donated at least $100 to the Annual Rotary International Fund; 100% of club members donated at least $100 to the Club Foundation, and members donated over $1,500 to the Polio Plus campaign--seeking to fill the gap left by a loss of $281M in government support of the program. In addition, RCI ranked #1 in Zones 26 and 27 in per capita giving.

Thank you, Ivar, for a year filled with community and international support, generosity of finance and spirit, as well as a deeper understanding of your native Norway.

Club Supports NMCS for Thanksgiving Food Distribution

Through a generous donation of $5,000, RCI purchased extra Thanksgiving food for clients of North Marin Community Services. The team assembled bags of goodies--including ham, mashed potatoes, green beans and corn, for over 250 families. The food was definitely appreciated and it was a good group effort to make the bags and pass them to those in need. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
