We want your gently worn sneakers! Please bring them to District Conference. The rule of thumb is, if you would donate them to a thrift store, we will accept them.?Once we receive the sneakers, we work with the Recycle Sneaker Project and the sneakers are sold to microbusinesses around the world at low cost. This helps boost economies and provides sneakers to those who are in need of footwear. In turn, this prevents the spread of soil transmitted diseases.  Sneakers which can’t be sold are chopped up and recycled into playground material.  Last year we kept over 1,000 lbs of sneakers out of the landfill and raised over $500 for our local club.

Help us preserve the written story of District 7570 club history.  D7570 is fortunate to have a storage room at the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center in Blacksburg to house our records and memorabilia.  In addition, the district will save any electronic resources provided by clubs for future reference. 

This is a good time for the outgoing club presidents to complete a Club History form to record highlights from the previous Rotary year.  It’s also a good resource for past presidents to complete for their year as president.  Please take a moment to review this form and complete one for as many Rotary years as possible.  Forms may be emailed to DG Paula Alston ([email protected]), who will save them in the history archives room.  Form link:  Click here
