The Foundation recently selected the recipients of our Special Projects Grants, and we're excited to begin distributing this year's awards!
One of our first grants was awarded to Milltown to My Own to help provide childcare for participants attending the program. The check was presented to John Omernik, and we're proud to support an initiative that helps remove barriers and creates greater access for individuals and families.
Over the coming weeks, we'll be highlighting the other organizations and projects selected for funding. Congratulations to all of this year's grant recipients!
A big thank you to Patrick Woods from the Wisconsin Rapids City Times for joining us as our guest speaker at last week's Rotary meeting!
Patrick shared insights about the important role local journalism plays in keeping our community informed and connected, along with an update on the work happening at the City Times. We appreciate him taking the time to speak with our club and for his commitment to sharing the stories that matter in our community.
Rotary District 6250 is excited to announce a new partnership with Madison Top Company, a family-owned business in Madison, WI, that will make Rotary-themed merchandise in-house, offering a huge savings for our clubs within our district.
Owners and long-time Rotarians, Aaron and Dawn Frank, are offering all 50 clubs within District 6250 access to an exclusive 62.50% discounted rate on club-branded merchandise. Even more remarkable, Madison Top Company will not receive any profit from these sales. Instead, Aaron and Dawn are generously donating their time and resources to give back to Rotary—an organization they deeply believe in.
The online store portal is available here! Use Coupon Code 6250 for District 6250 savings! Browse, order, and either pick up in-store or have shipped directly to your club! Happy shopping!
