News Around The District

A Rotary Foundation Global Grant is helping Native children in Rapid City and on the Pine Ridge Reservation strengthen reading skills while connecting learning to Indigenous culture, identity and storytelling. Friends of the Children–He Sapa recently launched its first summer Literacy Camp in Rapid City and Rockyford, serving children through culturally grounded reading, writing, storytelling and hands-on learning.

Sioux Falls West Rotary Club recently celebrated an extraordinary moment in our club's history: a surge of generosity, leadership, and Rotary spirit that resulted in six new Paul Harris Fellows and one member achieving Paul Harris Fellow +2. This achievement reflects not only our members' commitment, but also the inspiring leadership of fellow club member and District Governor‑Nominee Jeanelle Lust, who championed a focused Rotary Foundation giving push across the district.
Young riders in Luverne who wear a helmet and follow the rules could get a free ice cream, thanks in part to the Luverne Rotary Club.
 
The City of Luverne and the Rock County Sheriff's Office have launched a safety campaign aimed at kids riding e-bikes, electric scooters, and other micronized vehicles. The idea came from a Civic Assembly group that looked at the growing number of these vehicles around town and the risks they pose to riders and pedestrians. The group recommended focusing on education and encouragement instead of citations.
