Several current and former members of the Rapid City Rotary Club have served in the military. The Veteran Banner project has been a community lead initiative since 2017 and recognizes local veterans by displaying banners throughout Rapid City. Bill Rhode and Ashok Kumar are two of our current members who are honored on banners this year.
November is a time for us to honor all men and women who have served our country, including these current club members: Lee Groskopf (Army); John Howard (Army); Jack Jensen (Army); Frank Kenitzer (Army); J.D. Rodriguez (Air Force), Tim Trueblood (Army); and Dave Wittnebel (Air Force).
The Rapid City Rotary Advocates in Action service club has planned a special meal honoring our veterans and our South Dakota culture on November 10 at the Minneluzahan Senior Center. The event was funded in part by a grant from Rotary International and organized in conjunction with the Rushmore Rotary Service Club, Minneluzahan Senior Center, the Rapid City Club for Boys, and the Rapid City Stevens High School Culinary Arts program.
