Honorary Member Mike Tauriainen Mike Tauriainen became a SRC member in 1979. During his 43 years of being a rotarian, Mike has done many wonderful things. That is why it was a very easy choice to make when the SRC board was presented to make Mike an Honorary Member. Honorary membership is the highest distinction that a club can bestow and is used to recognize rotarians who have distinguished themselves by living by the motto of service above self and embodying Rotary ideals. During his time as a Rotarian Mike has served this club and has had a lasting impact on our committee. Every December our club auctions off many different items for the Empty Stocking Fund that was created by Mike. In honor of Mike and all the families he has helped through the empty stocking fund the club has decided to officially name change the name to the Mike Tauriainen Empty Stocking Fund. From the entire SRC thank you Mike! Read more...	Honorary Member Mike Tauriainen	Linzey White	2022-07-28 08:00:00Z

Youth Exchange Students and Host Families https://youtu.be/pspgla9pyfg Soldotna Rotary is looking for students in either their sophomore or junior year of high school that are looking for an adventure! We are actively seeking open-minded, flexible students who demonstrate leadership qualities to receive scholarships for study for a year in a foreign country. Applicants must have high moral standards that will enable them to become excellent cultural ambassadors for their country and the Rotary club and district that supports them. District 5010 Rotary Youth Exchange provides students ages 15 to 17 with an opportunity to travel to a foreign country and experience the culture while serving as an ambassador for their home country. We are also looking for interested families willing to open their home to an incoming student from another country. Hosting a student can be an extremely rewarding experience for everyone in the family, yet it is a role that requires a lot of responsibility. The hosting period is typically 3 - 4 months. Host families are to meet the following expectations: Before the student arrives establish communication with the student. Understand the program rules the student must follow. Know how to contact key Rotarians involved in Youth Exchange in case of an emergency. During the exchange provide a safe and welcoming environment for trust and friendship to develop between the student and your family. Support and make the student feel like a part of the family, with the same privileges and obligations. Read more...	Youth Exchange Students and Host Families	Jodi Stuart	2018-10-15 08:00:00Z

Soldotna Rotarians Bring Beauty to Area Businesses Posted by Becky Foster on Feb 19, 2012 The logistics of cutting nearly 60 2-ton blocks of ice and getting them set up for ice carvers to work their magic is a daunting task. As the lake freezes it has to be kept free of snow so the ice will freeze deep and clear, an extra challenge in a record snow fall year with weeks of rain and thawing temperatures in between. An idea that began some 14 years ago to enhance the Peninsula Winter Games and winter visitation to the area by Soldotna Rotarians Jerry Near, Ed Krohn, and Norm Blakeley, the ice carving has become a winter tradition for the area.
