BREAKOUT ROOMS
We also practiced breakout rooms with Zoom. It was a great experience. Breakout rooms will give you a chance to meet in smaller groups...so if your committee or fellowship would like to meet prior to one of our meetings you would go into a breakout room. We did have a few issues with some members not having a breakout function on their screen. We will need to research more on that but the host of our meeting will be able to put you in a breakout room until the issue is resolved. Members felt it will be a great way to socialize, network and do committee work in smaller groups! We are all learning so be patient!! One note is that the chat function in a breakout room will NOT follow you back to the main Zoom screen. If you would like to have a breakout room prior to our meeting, please contact Rob Palmberg to set that up for you.
Breakout rooms are sessions that are split off from the main Zoom meeting. They allow the participants to meet in smaller groups, and are completely isolated in terms of audio and video from the main session. Breakout rooms can be used for collaboration and discussion of the meeting.
Our next STAR Meeting will be Thursday, January 14th - Zoom - 7 am - 8 am. STAR will be hosted by Jodi Widuch and Todd Restel.
Please RSVP to Jodi Widuch and she will send you the link to the meeting.
STAR - Specialized Training for Action in Rotary....you will meet other new Rotarians from the area. We will provide programs on the Avenues of Service, The Rotary Foundation and the Rotary Works Foundation, along with other aspects of Rotary. This is a great time to ask questions you may have about our club or Rotary in general. Hope you will be able to join Jodi Widuch and Todd Restel on Thursday, January 14th.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
We also have a link on our homepage that contains STAR information.
Check out our Leadership Series Site Page! You will find the videos of our past Leadership Series presentations.

The Brain Game

"The Brain Game" is a user-friendly educational guide which explains to parents why and how their child is learning and developing. Additionally, the book includes specific activities, songs, and suggested behaviors that parents can engage in to help foster their child's intellectual and social development.
The Brain Game was born when the Director of the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families spoke to the Rotary Club of La Crosse, WI. She was excited to spread the word of new, cutting-edge research into early child brain development. More than ever before, scientists discovered that proper stimulation of children in the first three years could play a huge role in growing a healthy brain.
During this meeting we'll learn more about The Brain Game, along with some exciting new developments around it.
