GOOD NEWS
The hat was passed by outgoing Police Chief and Rotarian Cory Christensen, who challenged everyone to raise more than ever in support of our scholarship fund for local graduates. With stories remembering Cory and speaking to the influence he's had in this club and community, we raised $1150! Amazing tribute to a great member. Cory and wife Marnie will be exploring the country in their 40-foot RV, enthusiastically avoiding snow at any cost.
