We will be putting together 60 stockings (Claire will provide) at our December 1st meeting. We can't know the ages or genders of the kiddos, so please purchase a range of items that can fit inside a stocking. If you're unable to make the December 1st meeting, items can be brought in next week or you can arrange a pick-up with Claire. Financial donations can be dropped off at the United Way office.
Ron Rasmussen, Foundation President, presented Tammi Jepson with her Paul Harris +6! Congratulations Tammi, and thank you for your continued support of the Rotary Foundation.
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 $1,503, or 37.5% of our goal of $4,000 for this Rotary year (last year, the club gave $8,502).
Ron and Patrick Neuenfeldt, from MidState Technical, presented on an exciting new opportunity for Lincoln High School students to graduate high school with an Associates Degree in Business. Through a scheduled set of courses each year of high school offered either at Lincoln, MidState or online, students can transfer those credits to a four year school and complete their bachelor's in two years.
A student from the Medical College of Wisconsin reached out to ask if their colon cancer screening survey could be shared - other Rotary Clubs have participated and it does match an area of focus, so sharing here for anyone who is interested. From the student: We are studying the factors that prevent Wisconsin residents from completing recommended colorectal cancer (CRC) screenings. CRC is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Wisconsin, yet only about 70% of adults over age 45 are up to date on screening—even though an estimated 85% of cases are preventable. Our survey is designed to better understand why individuals delay or avoid screening, whether due to cost concerns, fear, work conflicts, lack of discussion with a primary care provider, or misconceptions about access and insurance coverage.
