Eureka Rotary recently provided a gift of $1300 to Weekend SnackPac program to help with costs. The Weekend Snackpac program through Eureka Christian Church helps provide a hot weekend meal to more than 37 Unit District 140 students. Eureka Rotary is well known for their pork chop sales; one of which they did on January 29th at the First Annual Polar Plunge at Eureka Lake. Members from the Weekend SnackPac program were also at the Polar Plunge selling hot chocolate. Chair of the pork chop committee, Jeff Schumacher said he was thrilled with the turnout for the chilly event and that it was a great way for two Eureka Community Service organizations to partner for a good cause.
Eureka Rotary Club provides a way for local business leaders to give back to their community through fundraising and community service. Eureka Rotary meets at 11:45 a.m. every Tuesday at Eureka College Cerf Center. Visitors and prospective members are welcome. For more information, call 309-467-2922.
