River Cities Quilters Guild to meet July 19 in Fulton
The River Cities Quilters Guild will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 19, at Fulton Presbyterian Church, 311 Ninth St.
Nancy Hook will be speaking on preparing your quilt for a long arm quilter. Hook has had a long arm machine since 2010 and started this skill when she was working full time. She has been retired for three years and is able to devote more time to her craft.
The meeting is open to anyone interested in fiber arts.
River Cities Quilters Guild has been in existence for 35 years doing community service sewing by making quilts for fundraisers, passing quilts to nursing homes and making quilts for My Gear for children entering the foster care system. A large emphasis continues to be making Quilts of Valor honoring veterans for their service. The Quilts of Valor are presented by the guild biannually with the next one being presented in November.
The guild is looking for a 12- to 16-foot enclosed trailer. Call Regina at 563-243-2158.

River Cities Rotar y club presents annual awards
Members of the River Cities Rotary club reflected on the past year’s accomplishments and presented their annual awards at a June 28 meeting at the Riverdale High School library.
Toni Lucas of Albany was named River Cities Rotary Rotarian of the Year. Known as “Ms. Rotary,” she motivated the club to be regular contributors to The Rotary Foundation, which helped them win the Louisville Slugger baseball bat for District 6420. She also is very passionate about educating people about the reality of human trafficking and how communities can help stop it. Lucas was able to bring Wreaths Across America to Port Byron in December and has been coordinating the project in Albany for the past few years. River Cities Rotary will officially be sponsoring its first cemetery for Wreaths Across America this year.
On July 1, Lucas took the helm as club president, following the term of Julie Perkins.
Deputy Jim Miller of Rapids City was presented with the River Cities Rotary Citizen of the Year award for 2021-22. “Dep” has been the school resource officer at Riverdale schools for the past 11 years through the Rock Island County Sheriff’s Office. He made his mark on the school district and on the students by starting the Crime Stoppers Club, the DARE program with the fifth graders, coordinating Cops and Kids at Christmas and giving presentations on internet safety. Miller visited the River Cities Rotary club on multiple occasions with great programs. Though Miller no longer will be the SRO at Riverdale, he will have a new role in the school district.
Ted Doty of Port Byron was given an honorary membership, the first for the club. Ted’s wife, Kelley, joined Rotary in 2004 and Ted has been involved with the club as a volunteer ever since. Ted has been the muscle behind the Pepsi wagon and ice portion of the Tug Fest fundraiser since 2005, traveled to Ak Tenamit in Guatemala twice with Rotary District 6440 to help build bungalows and a trades classroom and printed thousands of flyers and marketing material through the years.
The new Rotary year began July 1 and the international theme for the year is “Imagine Rotary.” River Cities Rotary meets every Tuesday at 7:15 a.m. at the River Valley District Library, 214 S. Main St. in Port Byron. Call Kelley Doty at 309-721-0110 to learn more about River Cities Rotary or to join the club.
