JEEP Night August 31 Benefits the Rockford Rotary Club

45 Jeeps attended at the celebration of the Jeep Lifestyle and community event at Flo's Woodfire Pizzeria to kick off the long Labor Day holiday weekend. 
 
The evening's goal was to bring the Jeep community together for drinks and food while giving back to the community.  Flo's  donated $5 to the Rockford Rotary Club for every Jeep in attendance for a total of $225! Rockford Rotary members were able to share our club's activities and provided dashboard ducks for all in attendance.

Rotary Rocks for ShelterBox Music Festival a Success!

Thank you to everyone that attended this 2nd annual event held August 22, 2023 at beautiful Garden Club Park. The evening was perfect for listening to the great sounds of:
 
- Jack Droppers and the Best Intentions
- Low Phase
- Roosevelt Diggs
 
Fan favorite Roosevelt Diggs won the band competition by garnering the highest number of "votes" via donations for the night. But the big winner was ShelterBox, an international disaster-relief organization.  The event raised over $3,100!
 
Donations are still accepted for ShelterBox at https://juke.band/event/rotaryrocks
 
 
A Ribbon Cutting at the newly remodeled Rotary Pavilion was held on July 11, 2023.   The Pavilion is a central meeting place in downtown Rockford and hosts several events each year.  Thank you to the Rockford Chamber of Commerce and it's members for their support of the Rockford Rotary Club and their participation in the event.  Following the ribbon cutting, community members also joined in to help our club celebrate our 75th Anniversary of serving strong in Rockford and around the world by enjoying cool treats and prizes by spinning the prize wheel.
