This Week at Rotary
Welcome back
 
Reminder: We are meeting outside in-person this week. All are welcome to join. 
 
11:30 - Noon - This will be social time as usual
Noon -1 - Andy will be doing announcements and introducing new members who have joined since COVID so we can meet them in-person.
 
Feel free to bring a lunch and beverage or eat beforehand.
 
This is President Andy Bakkum's only in-person meeting during his presidency. We're hoping you can make it.
Last Week at Rotary - Extra Effort Awards

Rusty Cunningham presented the La Crosse Tribune Extra Effort Awards.

The Rotary Club of La Crosse was honored to recognize some local high school students who have truly given the "extra effort" and overcome long odds to accomplish amazing things as they graduate high school. We awarded seven local students with a $250 scholarship. Congratulations to them and the supportive people - including family members, friends, teachers and school counselors - who helped them along the way.

In-person meetings starting July 1
We are looking forward to seeing everyone.
 
As a reminder, we will be meeting in-person starting on July 1 at the Cargill Room at the Waterfront. Please start marking your calendar now so that we can see you.
 
95% of our club will be back in-person for first quarter of our Rotary year from July 1-September 30.  
 
We will still be sending out a Zoom link each week even if you are on the in-person list for any Rotarian to jump on as needed.

News For Our Club

President's Choice Wine Raffle

Wine Donation

Wine donations can be dropped off this Thursday at the in-person meeting.  You can also pick up raffle tickets.

No time for shopping?  That's okay. You can donate money and we'll do the shopping for you.  

A big thank you to our Strategic Planning Team. In four sessions, we took a deeper dive into Membership and Engagement, Rotary Foundation Giving, Service, Youth Leaders and Public Image.  We'll be creating a writing team that will help convey this comprehensive plan and ways to incorporate into our club as we go forward.  Thank you for the time and input put into this.
