Club Business:  June 1st is the deadline for application for Rotary community grant.  If you have any ideas for a community project, let a board member know.  An anonymous donor will match up to $1000 towards the flight to end polio.  You can write a check to Rotary Foundation and give to Kim Warren or donate online - let us know if you donate online.  
 
Program:  Our program was Frank Iliff - Director of Rebuilding Together Muscatine County (RTM).  Rebuilding Together is a leading national nonprofit working to preserve affordable home ownership and revitalize neighborhoods by bringing volunteers and communities together to rehabilitate the homes of people in need.  Frank shared stories of people RTM has helped.  Projects have included:  building wheel chair ramps, updating bathrooms for handicap access, updating electrical, providing air conditioners, hand rails, new doors, fixing roofs, painting houses and more.  Projects are completed to ADA standards.  RTM relies on volunteers from the community - to sign up go to rebuildingtogethermuscatinecounty.org.  RTM receives funding through Muscatine housing cluster, United Way, Calvary Church, Grants, Muscatine Charities and donations.   "We touch peoples lives.  We step into their home and leave them better then when we met them."   Thank you Frank. 
 
Next Rotary meeting will be March 9, 2020 at the Rendezvous at noon.
