3) Tag Days -- November 26, 28, ad 29; click here for "shaking your can" sign-up (Rotarians, friends, families, community members can sign-up).
4) Fire Station Administrative Duties -- November 26, 28, and 29: These responsibilities are for Rotary Members only (this link is for up to two members to give instructions to the volunteers and to also collect and count monies at the end of each shift).
5) ELF DUTIES / HUT SIGN UP -- we need elves to help Santa(s), starting on December 1. Please sign-up for a time slot or two if you are able. Pack your hand warmers, mittens, layers, and hot cocoa, and come out for some fun!
6) Warehouse Work Days: December 15–18
Tom and Breanne will share updates and let us know what’s needed as we get closer.
7) Delivery Day – December 20!
We’ll need a small crew at the warehouse but lots of drivers to help deliver. If you’re not assigned a warehouse role, please plan to drive — many hands make light work (and too many in one place cause chaos 😉).
NEW ART IN WOODSTOCK (with a bit of a Rotary connection)
From Kim Keefe: "We would love to invite everyone to the Dedication of the New Roundabout Sculpture. Woodstock Rotary Foundation played a key role in helping us to secure funds by acting as our fiduciary. Thanks to Ron Jarvis for bringing this to my attention. Art4Woodstock was able to consistently thank and give recognition to the Rotary Club throughout the past year of promotion and fundraising."
Join us for the dedication of Woodstock’s new roundabout sculpture!
Hear live remarks from Mayor Mike Turner, Art4Woodstock, and the artist, Bobby Joe Scribner as we celebrate our City's new addition built right here in Woodstock; a reflection of our community’s heart, creativity, and spirit.

One more thing: RAGs -- Nope, not those dirty towel things. I'm talking Rotary Action Groups! I (Natalie Ziemba) am a proud member of ADRAG (Alzheimer's and Dementia Rotary Action Group). As part of ADRAG, I meet with fellow Rotary members from around the globe and discuss our outreach, advocacy, and fundraising initiatives. I'm even more proud that at the time of typing this bulletin, I am in the
TOP 25 National Individual Fundraisers for the ADRAG 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer's! Pretty cool, huh? ADRAG has raised over $650,000 towards this years national Walk. A HUGE THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO DONATED TO
MY WALK FUNDRAISING EFFORTS!
If you want to know more about the 25+ Rotary Action Groups -- that range from those about
disease prevention and treatment to
