LAST WEEK AT ROTARY.....WisDOT Coulee Connections Plan and Transportation Update. Jon Olson, SW Region Director was our speaker. Connections 2030 is the long-range transportation plan for the state. This plan addresses all forms of transportation over a 20-year planning horizon: highways, local roads, air, water, rail, bicycle, pedestrian and transit. WisDOT officially adopted Connections 2030 in October 2009.
The Paul Harris Fellow Award is one of the highest honors Rotary can bestow upon a person. Recipients are Rotarians and community professionals in recognition of their outstanding contributions, exemplifying the highest ideal in Rotary in placing 'Service Above Self." Paul Harris Fellow is a person who has contributed, or in whose name a contribution of $US1000 has been made, to the Annual Programs Fund and certain other programs of The Rotary Foundation. Recognition of a Paul Harris Fellow is an opportunity to show appreciation for a person, either Rotarian or non-Rotarian, who shares the values of the Foundation.
Last Thursday we recognized first time Paul Harris Fellows: Maria Norberg, Anne Snow, Sean Henneman, Jeanne Meyer and Kerstin Boudreau. Sig Gundersen received his PH+6 and Steve Doll was honored by Elmer Grassman with a Paul Harris +3.
