Service Above Self

 

Fatt Boys Rotary Bingo Night is April 8, sponsored by Janice Lake and Autumn McLean of Envoy Mortgage. Plan to attend for a fun night of good food, good games, and good friends. Fatt Boys donates a percentage of their take for the night to our Club. The fun starts at 6 but get there early to get a seat. Fabulous prizes, lots of fun, and great food. Thank you, Envoy Mortgage and Fatt Boys.
 

 

Last year, residents and visitors enjoyed a fun summer afternoon and evening at an amazing venue. With sponsorship support from local businesses and private donors, the Rotary Great Bear Festival raises funds for local and global charitable projects. Your Flathead Valley Rotary Clubs are excited to present the 9th annual festival at the Wachholz Center at Flathead Valley Community College on August 8th, 2026. This venue allows us to grow the event in a beautiful setting and provide ample, easy access parking. We re-imagined the Great Bear Festival together with our community and grew it to new heights, making it more family-friendly and affordable! This incredible opportunity focuses on celebrating local culture, music, food, drink, and fun. It brings our community together with interactive activities for all ages.

The Flathead business community is known for its generosity to local causes. Rotary’s mission is Service Above Self. Together, we make a difference! To inquire about sponsorship opportunities for 2026, email kalispellnoonrotary@gmail.com.

Post from the Logan Health Facebook Page:
Logan Health Children’s is planning a dedicated space, named the Rita Fitzsimmons Pediatric Infusion Center, designed to meet the unique needs of children undergoing infusion treatments. This initiative is made possible by a $500,000 leadership gift from Michael Kozlowski, given in honor of his mother, Rita Fitzsimmons. The project has gained additional momentum with a $105,000 contribution from the Rotary Club of Kalispell, recognizing Fitzsimmons, a fellow Rotarian, through the generosity of local club members.
With Rotary support, club member Lucy Smith and TruFem Founder, Sarah Rolfing, went to Kenya to provide education on women's health. Lucy wrote "We have held four workshops and given away 500 cycle beads and dignity kits. Also trained 40 public health workers and nurses and facilitated planning sessions for opening the new clinic in April. It has been a full and wonderful trip." Extra Great Bear tees were donated to participants, and the Rotary name was prominent.
 
"Greetings from 221 girls who walked as many as 12 miles each way in 104° on Saturday to attend our workshop . Every day has been full and very productive!  Sarah and I are so grateful to District 5390 for supporting our outreach!" - Lucy

The Rotary Club of Kalispell and Partners formed the Sustainable Global Coalition which is currently working on the La Vega Water Project. We built strong partnerships with the community of La Vega, Guatemala, the Rotary Club of Mazatenango, Fundazucar and Engineers without Borders. The goal is to secure a safe and reliable water source for 1,340 adults and children. This project was funded through Rotary Global Grants, donors, and in-kind contributions from the communities in the form of local labor, local funding, and local leadership. Most of the shallow wells currently in use are contaminated. By providing clean and accessible water, this project will assist this community to grow and sustain a healthy environment. Together, we can change lives for the better.
 
Here is the latest update from Rotary Club of Kalispell member, engineer, and a project leader:
Great news to pass along. The well driller has passed 220 ft with little to no issues. The target aquifer is approximately 450 feet below the surface based on the hydraulic/hydrology report completed for this project. The Rotary Foundation (TRF)is set to transfer the first payment for the project. With the first payment and the funds previously sent by the Rotary Club of Kalispell, there should be enough money available to install the pump house, pump, and construct the water storage tank.
 
Thank you for your support,
 
Mark Rohweder, PE, PMP
