our Newest Rotarian!

On March 14th, Noon Rotary welcomed its newest member, Jugal (Jay) Agarwal. Jay was inducted into Noon Rotary, transferring his membership from Minneapolis University Rotary Club.

Jay is no stranger to Rotary Global Grants, leading a project in 2016 to construct 132 toilets in rural India.  Currently, he is working on another global grant project to make and distribute sanitary napkins to poor school children in India. 

He also leads many other non-profit work outside Rotary, mostly related to the welfare of disabled people in India.

Introduce yourself to Jay and let's get him plugged into serving in our community!

Welcome Jay!!
