Rotarians around the world are celebrating the impact of The Rotary Foundation in November. We celebrate by remembering the impact our support is having on eradicating polio, funding humanitarian community projects sponsored by clubs, and the ways in which our work helps create peace by alleviating the need where it exists.

 

Noon Rotary is currently at $1,375 or 34% of our goal of $4,000 for this Rotary year (last year the club gave $5,725 to the International Rotary Foundation).

November 29th - Toys for Tots shopping with the Scouts. Meet at 5:00 p.m. at the south doors of Walmart. We will shop for an hour and then go back to Huntington House for a pizza party. If you wish to donate any money to help buy toys, please get ahold of Rotarian Amy Kolo-Elmhorst. We hope to see you there!!  Let us know if you are attending by signing up.

Our annual meeting will be on Monday, December 4th.  At this meeting we will elect our 2024-25 officers and directors as well as receive our official treasurer’s report.

Please warmly welcome our Youth Rotars from Assumption:  Bre Sullivan and from Lincoln:  Chase Alexander, Dawn Freeberg, and Emma Schillinger.

 

Melanie Kozlowki, Interact Advisor, and Natalie Dillon, Interact Member, presented a check for $378.21 to Rotary International.  The Lincoln High School Interact Club sponsored a "Be A Wavemaker" fundraiser during Interact week to continue Rotary's effort to provide clean water for all individuals throughout the world.

Tricia Fancher, the new Executive Director of the Wisconsin Rapids Family Center since May, provided an update on their operations.  So far this year the Family Center has taken over 400 phone calls on their 24/7 emergency line as well as provided over 4000 nights of housing for over 60 families/individuals.  Tricia also spoke about the movement to transitional housing that is occurring locally and around the state.
