DRC After Hours Sponsor: Shannon Duncan

Marc Holtey, Parks and Recreation Director for the City of Decorah, will join Rotary's After Hours group to share detailed information about the winter activities sponsored by the department. Parks and Recreation has a long history of providing activities for both youth and adults, including arts and crafts, sports, and other outdoor activities.

Marc brings wide experience and a deep passion for outdoor recreation. His journey into this career path began early in life, influenced by a childhood filled with his own family adventures in parks and outdoor recreational settings. That foundation supports his career trajectory, which spans various roles in parks and recreation management, initially focusing on natural resource management before transitioning to city parks and recreation. Prior to joining the community of Decorah, he served in roles that included providing services for veterans with disabilities and working with the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board.

Rubaiyat will be hosting this year's holiday party on Dec 16th at noon.  The meal for all Rotarians will be covered by the club.  Spouses, significant others and guests of Rotarians will be billed at $25 each on the next dues statement.  Please make sure you sign up yourself and all guests by noon on Dec 12th so that we have an accurate head count for food.

In keeping with our yearly tradition, we will be collecting donations for Helping Services.  Please bring items to Rubaiyat the day of the meal.  If you are unable to attend the event and would like to make a donation you may bring items to any noon or after hours meeting.

Priority items are larger sized diapers, household cleaning supplies, and gas/grocery cards of any denomination.

Wishing everyone a very merry holiday season.

Note from Patty Casterton at Aase regarding moving day details:

"We would need movers on the afternoon of the 16^th from 1:30 on to move boxes from about 20 residents’ rooms to their new rooms. We have trailers and can get one truck, but if someone has a truck to pull a trailer it would be great.

We have asked several other organizations, including all area churches, RSVP, posted on social media, Luther College, Decorah High School, families of residents, hospice organizations, Food Pantry volunteers, Cresco Legion, residents of our independent living apartments, and families of our staff. 😊

Most of our residents have one or two boxes of stuff and a few clothes to hang in their new closet. Everything will be numbered and labels for easy delivery to the correct rooms."
