Amber Kahnke, Shakopee Rotary member and Executive Director of River Valley Nursing Center, was at the meeting today for a dual purpose. First she was presented a check for $500 from the Community Service committee, and then she was our speaker for the day. RVNC's mission is to strive to serve those vulnerable individuals and families in our community by providing supportive and compassionate individualized health-related services with access to community resources. The uniqueness of their care model, is that their services are provided by Minnesota licensed Public Health Nurses with the help of Bi-lingual Spanish Interpreters/Community Outreach Workers. 
 
Amber gave real-life examples of how they have helped their clients. As far as the money donated, Amber states this will go towards their community outreach program. Examples of these programs are the free flu clinics and health screenings such as the "Know Your Numbers" diabetes awareness and screening.
Corey Stich presents the check.
