Rotary Club of Minot has been offered a unique community service + fundraising opportunity this summer. We are counting on our Rotary members to help fill volunteer shifts at the North Dakota State Fair! The board recently voted to try this new paid community service opportunity as a way to bring additional funds into our club and expand the impact we’re able to make in the community.

Please consider signing up for a shift (or two!). Spouses, family members, and friends are welcome to help as well. Filling these shifts gives us the opportunity to give back through Rotary projects, programs, and local community support.

Thank you for helping us make this new opportunity a success! 

Please read the information below, and direct any additional questions to Grant Wentz at 218-686-3829.
