Rotary International’s 2022-2023 focus is to “Imagine Rotary,” by imagining the possibilities of the change we can make in the world and our own communities, and the Fond du Lac Morning Rotary is doing just that. During the final week of December, members of FDL Morning Rotary distributed a total of $11,000 to area non-profit organizations, including: Catherine Drexel Center; ASTOP; Fond du Lac Shop With A Cop; Fondy Food Pantry; Solutions Center; The ARC; New Beginnings Pregnancy Center; Salvation Army; NAMI, Mahala’s Hope, United for Diversity, WeEmpowerHer.

Linda Selk-Yerges, Fond du Lac Morning Rotary President, shared: “’Serving and transforming our community through projects that have a lasting impact’ is a goal of Rotary. We are proud to support these local agencies with an impactful financial gift so they can continue to provide important resources to some of the most vulnerable individuals, groups, and families in our area.”

In 2022, Fond du Lac Morning Rotary hosted two successful local fundraisers including their annual Wine Around the World event and a concession stand at Walleye Weekend.

Additional annual projects include Rotary Reader at Pier School, providing Birthday Books each year to every K-5th grade child in Fond du Lac public and private schools, bed building for Sleep in Heavenly Peace, ringing bells for Salvation Army, working and contributing books for the Back to School program. Eliminating polio world-wide continues to be a focus of all Rotary clubs with progress being made every year.
