Rotary After Hours Launches February Random Act of Kindness ChallengeEncouraging Rotarians and the Community to Spread Kindness, One Act at a TimeRotary After Hours (RAH) is inviting all area Rotary Clubs and neighbors near and far to take part in a Random Act of Kindness Challenge throughout February 2026, spreading kindness and strengthening our community one act at a time. The challenge is easy: do something kind for someone else. Big or small, planned or spontaneous, every act counts. Whether it’s paying for someone’s coffee, shoveling a neighbor’s sidewalk, writing a thank-you note, or checking in on someone who could use a smile, these moments of kindness have a ripple effect far beyond the initial gesture. “This challenge is a reminder that kindness costs very little, but means everything,” one RAH member said. Looking for inspiration? Explore ideas from the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, including this list of 50 simple kindness ideas. Kindness makers are encouraged to post about their acts of kindness on social media using hashtags like #RandomActsOfKindness and #RotaryAfterHours along with the Be Kind logo to help spread the movement even further. Let’s make February a month of compassion, connection, and positivity, and let’s make kindness go viral! |

We’ve got a special sneak‑peek opportunity, and you’re invited! 🎉 Before the newly renovated library officially opens, we get to explore the fresh space and help bring it to life. We’ll kick things off at the Franciscan Spirituality Center on Market Street, where we’ll grab boxes of items to bring over. Then it’s off to the library to unpack, sort, and organize everything in the shiny new space. If you’re curious to see the renovation up close, love the thrill of organizing, or just want to be part of something fun and behind‑the‑scenes, come join us! It’s going to be a great time! |

What’s better than jumping into the freezing Black River to support the Special Olympics? Volunteering at the Special Olympics Polar Plunge and cheering on the brave souls who do jump in! Volunteers will be assigned wherever help is needed. Roles may include working concessions, checking wristbands, assisting with safety, and helping manage the flow of participants near the plunge area. We won’t be plunging ourselves, but many roles are outdoors—so bundle up. Special Olympics is a fantastic organization that provides a wide range of activities and sporting opportunities for community members with intellectual disabilities. Let’s show our support for this incredible organization and the individuals in our community who benefit from the programs they offer.

About the Show:
Come from Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family. |
