The Rotary of Macomb meets Tuesdays at noon at the First Presbyterian Church.
April 7, 2026 President Elect Nick Knowles commenced the Rotary Club’s 40th meeting by ringing the Rotary Bell at the First Presbyterian Church in Macomb. The invocation was delivered by Todd Rodeffer, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Mark Pfleiger.
Ryan Van Dolah announced attendance: 26 members were present, representing 49% of the club’s membership. Including six guests, total attendance reached 32.
The guests were Keela Treenepohl, WIU students Jeff Lee and Maddison Butler (our speakers), April’s Junior Rotarians Collin Adams and Karsyn Trusley, and Rotary Exchange Student Thea Granheim from Norway.
Nine Rotarians contributed “Happy Money” in recognition of recent significant events. The 50/50 drawing was conducted; Blake Severs, our newest member, had the opportunity to win $39 by drawing the 9 of Hearts but drew the 6 of Diamonds, resulting in no winner for this round.
