On Monday afternoon they had split up into groups — four were working on the engineering component of the challenge, and Izzie and Ezra were hard at work crafting fundraising strategies for their upcoming trip to Kansas City, Mo. for the Destination Imagination Global Finals.
The team needs to raise $11,000 for the trip, said Izzie. Stowe Rotary has donated $500."

"The Stowe Rotary Club is bringing the annual Wheels for Warmth to Stowe again Oct. 25-26. The event “is a creative, convenient, meaningful way for so many of us to help our friends and neighbors in need,” said Rotarian Tom Hubbs. “Those Vermonters in need of fuel assistance need to be at the forefront of our minds during those cold winter months.” “
All we need is for people to put their used tires in their cars or trucks and bring them to the Stowe Events Field next Thursday and Friday afternoons,” said Rotarian Heidi Scheuermann. “We will do the rest.”"

"The Children’s Literacy Foundation, based in Waterbury, was chosen to receive the Stowe Rotary Club’s 2020 Oktoberfest profits.
With that money, CLiF provided a grant to the Hyde Park Public Library, providing spring and fall author visits, books for the school and public library collections, a two-book giveaway in the spring for all kids, and $250 to start a new program at the library.
“Stowe Rotary was thrilled to have the opportunity to support CLiF’s mission of inspiring a love of reading for low-income, at-risk, and rural children in Vermont,” said Jennifer Colin, the club president. “Stowe Rotary has been supporting education in Lamoille County through giving scholarships and donations to local educational efforts for many years, so a partnership with CLiF was the perfect way for Stowe Rotary to continue in that tradition.”
“Galloway, one of the most respected journalists in Vermont, told the club how she founded the online news site, about her thoughts on journalism in Vermont in relation to politics and business, and the intersection of the two. Sullivan comes to Stowe from the Berkshires in Massachusetts, where she was executive director of IS183, Art School of the Berkshires, for over a decade. She has strong experience in fundraising, program development and marketing/advertising, and looks forward to using those skills at the arts center at Stowe Mountain Resort."
“Even in the cold, windy rain on Thursday, cars and trucks continued to roll in with their tires to donate, and it continued through until Friday evening,” said Jen Colin, president of the Stowe Rotary Club. “This is a testament to the kindness and incredible generosity of the people in our region."
