Our Mission
& Club Focus
Through the years,
the Rotary Club of Dubuque has placed a strong emphasis on the youth in
our community with projects ranging from immunization clinics for young
children to scholarship programs for High School Seniors. Along with this
special interest in any young people, other items that gain the attention
of our Rotary club include:
- Providing interesting
and informative weekly programs at our meetings - utilizing speakers
from all walks of life
- Being aware of
the less fortunate in our community by assisting with activities such
as the Salvation Army. Holiday Bell Ringing appeal, providing food for
the needy and distributing toys at Christmas to children with need.
- Offering community
entertainment programs such as Swing fest, Wine for our River and hosting
the original Glenn Miller Band.
- Funds raised by
the Rotary Club of Dubuque are often directed towards community development
projects such as a pledge of $50,000 to help construct a pavilion along
the new Missisippi River Walk area.
- Creating goodwill
among other Community Civic groups (Lions, Kiwanis, etc.) by visiting
their meetings and inviting their members to visit our Rotary meetings)
In all activities and
ventures undertaken by the rotary Club of Dubuque, our goal is to provide
service to our community and give all members leadership training and practical
experience in community affairs. |
