At the end if August, Metro North Rotarians met at the Eastern Iowa Airport to welcome our 2024/2025 inbound exchange student, Yui Aoki, from Japan! Last weekend she traveled to Dubuque to meet all of Rotary District 5970's exchange students. We look forward to having Yui attend future meetings to learn more about her culture and her experience as an exchange student in America.

We’re excited to welcome our 2024/2025 President, Tara Dumolien! On June 27th, Tara officially received the gavel from Ash Wagel, who led our Club as President last year. We’re so grateful for everything Ash did to keep us going and look forward to Tara’s plans for the year ahead. Her energy is contagious and we can’t wait to see where her leadership takes us.
Honored to honor our four remaining charter members, Dave Carlson, Jon Brightwell, Tom Patterson, and Don Homan. These men have made significant contributions to Metro North Rotary over the years and have many stories to share! Join us at a meeting to get to know these fine gentlemen and about what keeps them giving to the community year after year.
Each year, during the months of November and December, Metro North Rotarians volunteer their time to purchase gifts for students at Metro High School.
Ash Wagel is our 2023-2024 Metro North Rotary President. Ash is the Business Manager for KGAN-TV Iowa’s News Now, the CBS and FOX affiliates for Eastern Iowa. He has been a member of MNR for 8 years. Ash is a Michigan alum and fan who found his way to Iowa almost 20 years ago and has grown to love it here. Ash is officially an empty nester as his youngest daughter just got married and he is now looking forward to spoiling his granddaughter!
Our Rotary Club recently visited Metro High School to deliver a donation of books for their library to honor all of the speakers that come to our meetings and present to our Club.

On August 17th, 2023, Metro North Rotary members came together for a fun social event! It was a great chance to connect with fellow Rotarians outside of our usual meetings. We enjoyed good company and conversation, strengthening the bonds of our club.
