VALLEY VIEW ROTARY CLUB RECEIVES PHILLIPS OUTDOOR SERVICES - PHILLIPS CARES AWARD

see message from Phillips below

Last week, we presented The Rotary Club of La Crosse - Valley View with a $250 check for our first Phillips Cares donation of September! Valley View Rotary was selected by our Install Leader, Shawn Shay, and accepting the donation was Club President Bruce Nuttall.

Shawn has been a regular attendee of the Rotary's Moon Tunes summer music series since its beginnings 14 years ago. These events soon became more meaningful as he learned about the Rotary’s mission and work done throughout the community including donations to food pantries, fundraising for housing initiatives, blood drives, and so much more. Valley View Rotary Club lives by Rotary’s motto: Service Above Self, and believes in building a better world through action and compassion. 

Thank you, Valley View Rotary, for supporting and making our local communities, and communities around the world, a better place to live for everyone!

 

Phillips Cares is our team led, community donation initiative. Each month we randomly select 2 team members who each choose a local nonprofit that makes the Coulee Region better for everyone. Whether the organization has personally impacted their life, or supports a cause close to their heart.
