News Around The District

What began with an unused cigar humidor has grown into a lifeline for a community in need. In 2020, members of the Rapid City Rotary Club were made aware of the growing food insecurity in Lakota Homes, a primarily Native American housing development on the north side of Rapid City. When Chris Johnson, owner of the Tinder Box, offered an extra humidor, fellow Rotarian John Howard saw its potential—not for cigars, but for service.

The Sibley Rotary Club recently marked a significant milestone—its 100th anniversary—celebrating a century of Service Above Self in the heart of the Osceola County community. The centennial event honored the legacy of Rotarians past and present who have dedicated themselves to making a lasting impact through Rotary.
In a heartfelt initiative to ensure the safety of young cyclists, the Rotary Club of Luverne recently distributed 89 bicycle helmets to third-grade students across five local elementary schools. The participating schools included Adrian, Luverne, Hills-Beaver Creek, Edgerton Public, and Edgerton Christian.
 
Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Sioux City showed their heartfelt support for our veterans! They wrote special cards for the veterans traveling on the Midwest Honor Flight to Washington D.C. today, June 3rd. This flight honors America’s veterans with a day of tribute at our nation’s memorials. The welcome home celebration begins with a touching "Mail Call" on the return flight, sharing gratitude and community support with our honored veterans. Thank you for your service!
