College management is fully supportive of the club and offer our incoming exchange
th
students (Pelle from Denmark is commencing at ILC on 14 July) free tuition. We assist with
club support and our expertise in parking cars for the college's main fundraiser the
Fruehlingsfest, a Youth project we have undertaken since 2007. A plug.the rosters are now
th
up on the member's website for Saturday, 30 August..be quick!!
Finally, at the Interact meeting last Thursday, I told the members that I would be speaking
tonight and asked them what they would like me to share with our club.A "big thank you" for
our support was the unanimous response. I also took the opportunity to say what impressed
me since I began attending their meetings, 2 impressions being:

1. The way the club manages their projects, their enthusiasm and the way volunteers come
forward to work on the variety of fundraisers, a number are before/after college hours and
some on weekends.

2. The dedication, leadership, devotion and love shown by their Teacher Sponsor, Ms Kirsten
Zweck PHF. Kirsten is a treasure and she has been involved with Interact for the last 10
years...told the club they are most fortunate to have such a wonderful and dedicated person as
their guide and college mentor.
Thank you for listening and your interest/support of Interact at both ILC and KWSC.

Family Service satellite club is kid-friendly

13 May 2025

By Jessika Hane

As a mom of four little kids, I wanted to find a better way to share the joy of Rotary with my
children. My goal was to form a Family Service club.
To my delight, our Bloomington Sunrise club agreed to sponsor a family service satellite

club. A satellite club provided me with the support I needed in the following ways:
o We only needed to find eight new members, not the 20 required to start a new club (as
of 1 July the required number for regular clubs will be 15 following action by the
Council on Legislation in April).

o We did not need to form our own board (I serve as Satellite Club Chair and sit on the
Bloomington Sunrise Board as our representative).

o We can keep our dues affordable by only charging for Rotary International and District
dues. Our home club treasurer creates and manages our invoicing and reporting.
o We also offer a unique second option of attendance for our current members, plus
more ways to serve.

We chartered in the summer of 2024 with 10 primary members (nine new Rotarians and me).
When you include spouses and kids, our small but mighty group includes 19 adults and 23
kids.
