It was another great day at Kelso Rotary! We were excited to welcome our newest member, Karen Rogers, to the club. Karen is the mother of fellow Rotarian Jori Scruggs-Brown, and we know she will be an excellent addition to our Rotary family.

Our guest speaker was Lois Smith, CEO of United Way of Cowlitz & Wahkiakum Counties. Lois shared the incredible progress United Way has made over the past year — from the growing success of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, which continues to inspire young readers, to the United Way Day of Caring, the largest single day of volunteerism in our community. This year’s Day of Caring brought together more than 400 volunteers to complete projects across the region — an amazing show of community spirit and teamwork!
Lois also shared details about United Way’s upcoming fundraiser, Power of the Purse, happening on Thursday, October 16th. Tickets are available through Monday, October 13th, so don’t wait to grab yours and support this wonderful cause!
