We Only Need 4 More Volunteers for the August 23 WalCo Habitat for Humanity Team Build
The Rotary Club of Elkhorn is answering the call for volunteers to assist the Habitat for Humanity in Walworth County! We're halfway there! We could use four more volunteers to help with the Pell Lake Home Build 9-4:00pm on August 23, 2025.
No construction experience is necessary - Just a caring heart and willingness to work! Spouses and families 16+ are welcome, and boxed lunches will be provided by the Club. Click below for the event flyer for more information and click to sign up. Registered volunteers will be given waivers to sign and address information in mid-August.
We're about 2/3 full of volunteers! Rotary raises almost $4,000 each year by parking cars near the Walworth County Fairgrounds from August 27-September 1, 2025! Sign-ups to volunteer for two-hour shifts at the Elkhorn Teen Center parking lot is now open. It's an easy and fun way to spend time outdoors helping out our club!
Each month, Rotary Intl. highlights a cause essential to the mission of the Rotary movement: this is called the monthly theme.
These themes serve to raise awareness among members and the general public of Rotary’s major humanitarian priorities.
They guide the actions of clubs, inspire local projects and strengthen collective commitment around strong values such as peace, health, education and economic development.
August is dedicated to Membership and New Club Development Month.
This is a key time to reflect on the vitality of Rotary, welcome new members and strengthen diversity.
Recruitment is not just about numbers: it is also about finding motivated people, ready to act for the common good.
It is also an opportunity to create new clubs, adapted to local realities and to rising generations.
