The Valparaiso Rotary Club held its April 10, 2017 assembly. The summary highlights several of the club's activities from the past year, including bidding at the County Fair Buyer's Group, helping Family House exceed expectations for the United Way Day of Caring, and hosting speakers like Lt. Governor Crouch and baseball player Dan Plesac. The club also recognized veterans, held a Purple Pinky day, gave out community grants, funded a shelter for Hilltop Neighborhood House, won a public relations award, added new younger members, supported youth leadership programs, and qualified for the Presidential Citation by exceeding goals in 10 categories. The president thanked everyone for their contributions.
