Calendar Raffle
 
Our Foundation Calendar Raffle begins in July.  Tickets will be distributed at our May 6th meeting.  Our goal is to raise $5000 which means 500 tickets sold.  We ask all Rotarians to sell 9 tickets.  To meet our goal it would be around 12 tickets per Rotarian.  Thank you for your support of our Foundation!
Rotary DEI Code of Conduct

 

Rotary International's Board has a DEI code of conduct that reflects our core values. This is really nothing new, and really should be what is expected from each of us in all areas of our life. Let's make sure our Club maintains an environment that is collaborative, positive, and healthy for everyone.

The DEI code of conduct asks Rotary members to:

  • Use respectful language
  • Be supportive
  • Foster a welcoming and inclusive environment
  • Celebrate diversity
Speakers Needed
We currently are looking for programs/speakers for this Summer & Fall.  If you have a topic or speaker, please contact Craig Broeren.
Welcome Youth Rotars

Last Week's Speaker Summary
 
Brian Huglen - Advisor, Jordan Khachani - Youth Apprentice, and Chase Alexander - Youth Apprentice presented on the Lincoln Live Stream Club.  What originated as a live stream club during COVID has developed into a Digital Media and Live Broadcast class.  With both the club and class, students produce live broadcasts of athletics, concerts, and elementary programs for the WRPS YouTube channel, develop graphics and program for the video board at South Wood County Stadium as well as a scorer's table in the LHS Field House.  Recently the group was awarded first place for their basketball broadcast of LHS vs Eau Claire North by the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association.  A link to their presentation and videos is here.
