This week we welcomed two new members, JILL KJERSTAD (sponsored by her daughter Lanny Kjerstad) and
KERRY LASSAUX (sponsored by Jeff Kingsbury). Kerry was previously a member of Rushmore Rotary and we are glad to have her back. 
JILL KJERSTAD
Jill grew up on a farm north of Quinn and spent the majority of her life in the Wall area.
Her family is the center of her universe and she has two amazing daughters and of course, Laney (Holtquist, a current Rushmore Rotary member). She has three incredible grandchildren and she lives with and takes care of her 89-year-old mother.
Things that bring her joy are her girls, grandkids, two dogs, hiking in the Black Hills and reading. Her number one hobby is quilting and she has won a few first-place ribbons in local quilt shows.
KERRY LASSAUX
Kerry grew up in Castle Rock, Colorado.
She’s been in fundraising and development for almost 27 years, starting in Boston in 1999 with the American Heart Association. She moved to Rapid City in 2021. She came for a visit and realized that it felt like home!
She has a 17 year old daughter and a 12 year old German Shepherd who are the loves of her life.
