North Scott Rotary was proud to host all of the Inbound and outbound Rotary Youth Exchange students from District 6000, this past Saturday and Sunday at the Steeplegate Inn, Davenport, Iowa. This weekend is mostly a fun weekend for the students. They start out the day with social time, and time to become reacquainted. We started by visiting the Davenport airport to see and touch the bi-planes that Rotarian Jim Smith has built, or restored, along with his vintage model T Ford. We then went to the Mississippi River front. We viewed eagles fishing below Dam #25, the fantastic view from the Sky Bridge, and ended up at The John Deere Pavilion to Learn the History and present operations of this world leading agricultural business. We started the evening with ice skating at the Rivers Edge, indoor arena. More food, and viewing movies ended the night. *More photos available in the Photo Album!

John Maxwell will be installed as The new President of North Scott Rotary for 2012-13 this Friday at the Steeplegate Inn. John will tell us of his plans for the upcoming year, including an exciting new Adopt a School Project. John owns a multi faceted farming operation near Donahue, Iowa. He farms the land he grew up on, and has expanded into much larger crop land and farms over 4,000 acres, his Cinnamon Ridge Dairy operation, confinement hog operations, cattle operations, chicken & broiler operation, goat herd, and a successful farm tour and entertainment site. He hosts groups from all around the world which tour his operations, and are treated to Iowa Farm hospitality with a home cooked meal prepared in John’s Kitchen. Much of this is done in cooperation with John Deere. John is on the Scott County Extension Council, also the North Scott School Board, and member of the Iowa Jersey Cattle Club. John has two Daughters, Amy and Kara. Amy graduated from Iowa State University, and worked literally from coast to coast, in Maine, and Seattle Washington.

They are building a new, totally automated operation on their home site. Daughter Kara just graduated from North Scott High School in Eldridge, Ia. She was top in her class and is also attending Iowa State University this fall and plans to return home and join the family farming operation. |

24 International Exchange Students both Inbound and Outbound, gathered at the Steeplegate Motel for our annual Friendship Exchange. Paul Kalainoff and Dennis & Deb Peterson hosted the event. They were greatly supported by out District 6000 Rotex Students. These are students who were outbound to another country in a previous year. They have continued their involvement with Rotary while in college as a organizing and support group for District 6000 Exchange Student events. They are ( in order) Amber Hoffman, Exchange to Germany, Lucas Asbury, Exchange to Spain, Shari Bender, Exchange to Germany, and Nathan Snell, Exchange to Brazil.
These Rotex saved the “old” people Chaperones by staying up with the students all night. They also organize and participate in a state wide Pony Express to bring all of the students to the Quad Cities. We provide lunch, (Tacos) and breakfast at the Steeplegate. The Iowa Quad Cities Rotary Club also participates in providing the evening meal of Pizza. Their President Doug Petersen and wife Lou are also members of the District 6000 Youth Exchange Committee, and are active in the Retreat Event. This event is totally a fun event for these students. They need this after many District training session in other cities. We arrange for the students to visit the Mississippi river water front via the Bridge to nowhere and Eagle Viewing. We visited the John Deere Expo center, and then we went ice skating at the QC Sports Complex.

John Maxwell and his hard working corn boil committee did a wonderful job of preparing and serving grilled chops, sweet corn, assorted salads, drinks & desserts for approximately 210 Rotarians and guests. The talented “Golinghorst” Scott County Pork Producer grilling team cooked the chops perfectly. John had a few tense moments trying to get all the corn cooked fast enough. The propane cookers decided to go on break and only put out minimal heat. This was remedied, and other methods of cooking were used to create fantastic tasting corn which was enjoyed by all. The sweet corn was donated by Golinghorst Farms, Inc. Rich and his son and son in law timed the growing perfectly. |
