One of his messages focused on raising awareness about Polio Plus, and he was thrilled to hear about the progress we've made in our Club – AND with our Interact Club in supporting these efforts. (Our Interact Club at Hudson High School is AMAZING)

Hudson Daybreak Rotary Recommends Slow Mow Summer

Danielle Vogler-Bos, with Hudson Daybreak Rotary Club, is still helping bees in Hudson. Only now, she helps organize a Rotary club initiative called Protecting Pollinators, a holistic approach that involves pollinator-friendly flowers in the garden and a less timely lawn mowing schedule in the summer, all in the name of helping bees, the food landscape and the environment writ large.

Hudson Daybreak Rotary, Fire Dept. Want Your Lithium-Ion Batteries

 
Lithium-ion batteries are in our phones, laptops, tablets, even electric toothbrushes. The lithium-ions are becoming more prevalent as battery types such as alkaline fall out of style — and these new, chargeable batteries present waste and fire hazards. Hudson Daybreak Rotary and the city’s fire department have a solution: the two formed a Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling, where area residents can turn in their devices with lithium-ion batteries they no longer use on April 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Hudson Fire Department.

Rotarians build ‘clean’ stoves in Guatemala

Traditional cooking

In Julianna’s kitchen, a pot of dried corn bubbles over open flames. Her makeshift stove is a wood table fireproofed with layers of dried mud. For Guatemalan women like Julianna, the days begin and end with crackling flames that spew ash and blacken the corrugated metal walls. 

Cooking is the primary job of indigenous women in the country’s villages.

And it’s killing them.
