I just wanted to tell you how grateful the Ankeny Service Center if for your support. When Kathy Sibbel handed me the check for $15,000, I was amazed. Since I started as the Director at ASC, Rotary has been a constant committed supporter. As a small nonprofit, support from groups like Rotary make a huge difference. We appreciate you and everyone involved with Rotary. Thank you!
