Medal of Honor Recipient
Feb. 12, 2026
Join us as we welcome Allen J. Lynch of Gurnee, a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor and a lifelong advocate for service to others. As a young soldier in Vietnam, Mr. Lynch repeatedly risked his life to rescue and protect wounded fellow soldiers under intense fire, choosing to stay behind alone so others could survive. His actions that day shaped not only the lives he saved, but the path of his own life. Since returning home, Mr. Lynch has devoted his career to serving veterans and their families through leadership roles at both the federal and state level. He is also the author of Zero to Hero: From Bullied Kid to Warrior, a powerful story of resilience, faith, and a life committed to service. This is a rare opportunity to hear an extraordinary story of courage, compassion, and what it truly means to serve. |

Join the Rotary Club of Gurnee for a hands-on service night at Feed My Starving Children. Volunteers will work together to pack rice, soy, dried vegetables, and a nutritionally complete blend of vitamins and minerals into meals that are shipped to children in need around the world. In just 90 minutes, our group can help provide hundreds of life-saving meals. It is a fast-paced, meaningful experience and a powerful reminder of the impact we can make when we serve together. Thursday, April 9, 2026 Please arrive a few minutes early for check-in. Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes, and plan to remove all jewelry before packing. Donations are not required, but voluntary contributions help fund future meals. Online registration is required through fmsc.org under the Rotary Club of Gurnee group. |
