Nov. 20, 2025
November is Foundation month throughout the Rotary world. Today we will be handing out our pledge forms, asking our members to involve themselves in the work that Rotarians do around the world and in our own community. The three places we invite your giving will include the Rotary International Annual Fund, often called the RI Foundation for short; the Polio Plus campaign that is the work of Rotarians worldwide; and our own area Rotary Works Foundation. With special guest Erin Luken, our District 6250 Foundation chairperson, we will hear more about the work of RI that is supported by our gifts. We will cap this presentation off with the awarding of Paul Harris Fellows, honoring significant contributions to our joint endeavors through the Annual Fund and Polio Plus. |

When Rotary was established by Paul Harris and three others, each person came from a different walk of life. This diversity is a cornerstone of Rotary. The intent is to have a cross-section of business and professional experiences in your community.
For decades Rotary International listed a range of professional “classifications” and restricted how many representatives of each could be in a club. This ensures that each club reflects the community in which it serves. It also reminds us to not have one profession as a dominant voice in our club. Over time, these restrictions have pretty much given way, but your classification continues to be of great interest to your fellow club members. That’s why your Rotary badge carries your name and your classification. Classification talks help us learn about the life experiences and professional backgrounds of new members.

Friendship, Happiness and the Importance of Third Places
Dec. 11, 2025
At a time when our nation is facing an epidemic of loneliness, when communities are suffering from loss of trust, low levels of engagement, despair, and political polarization, what if the answer to many of our problems lies in a simple idea? What if we just need to pay attention to the places where we find ourselves? Rick Kyte is a Professor of Ethics and Director of the D.B. Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership at Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wisconsin. He writes a regular column appearing in over 70 newspapers nationwide and appears weekly on “The Ethical Life” podcast hosted by Scott Rada. He is a long-time member of the Rotary Club of La Crosse and serves on the boards of Coulee Region Trout Unlimited, LeaderEthics, and the La Crosse Area Community Foundation. His latest book, Finding Your Third Place: Building Happier Communities (and Making Great Friends Along the Way), was published in 2024. |
