The Club, in collaboration with many local partners, orchestrated the shipping of furniture from our local school district, that was no longer being used, to Tanzania. Rotarians in Tanzania were on the receiving end and distributed the furniture to the communities that needed it most. The effort took many hands and many months to finally reach its destination, but the overall impact is priceless. The pictures say it all!
The Club funds an annual scholarship to assist a deserving student from the Alternative Learning Center further their post-secondary education. These take place in May.
The Club purchases and distributes a free book to every kindergarten student in Owatonna. Members enjoy these annual visits to the classroom which take place in June.
Owatonna's annual Fourth of July fireworks display is promoted and funded by the Early Edition Rotary Club. Members coordinate the entire display from raising the necessary funds and hiring the pyrotechnician, to cleaning up the fairgrounds. We hope you enjoy the show!

We're this close!
The club contributes resources annually towards Rotary District 5960's effort to eliminate hunger in Nicaragua.
The club chooses an international project to contribute to annually. In the past, this has led to Shelterboxes for earthquake victims in Haiti and clean water wells in Tanzania. We are always open to partnering with other Rotary Clubs for a meaningful international project.
