Support Rockford Rotary Club at Jeep Night

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
