The COVID-19 level for La Crosse County is measuring at a HIGH level at this time.
Per current CDC guidelines, when a county is in high COVID risk level, wearing masks indoors is encouraged.
According to the CDC's guidelines, individuals in communities at this level should stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines and get tested if you have symptoms, but wear a mask indoors in public if you choose. However, additional precautions may be needed for people at high risk for severe illness. People may choose to mask at any time. If you have been exposed to COVID-19 or test positive, we ask that you follow the CDC guidelines for quarantining/isolating.

Rotary Lights Repair Volunteers Needed
Last year was a tough year for Rotary Lights. In addition to our first case of vandalism, Mother Nature tossed us a curve ball in mid-December with an unexpected wind storm that caused about $150,000 of damage.
Add to that the fact that we lost 2 of our very best volunteers from a heart attack and cancer. Huge loss to the project. We are still repairing some of the damage from last year and fixing some items that needed to be touched up.
Rotary Lights is looking for 5-7 folks from 6 pm to 9pm at the Rotary Lights Building (27 Market St.) Sept. 6-7-8-12-13-14-15-19-20-21-22-26-27-28-29. Could come as a club or as an individual Rotarians. Could even take more than one night.
No experience is necessary. Coach Leo will walk you through the repairs.
If you can help, please respond to Pat Stevens with the night(s) you could help and the number of helpers you could provide. Great Rotary Fellowship for a great cause.
Our next STAR Meeting will be Thursday, September 8th from 7-8am. Location: Rotary Office in the Capella Performing Arts Center at 721 King Street (enter through the doors on 8th Street and follow the signs). Hosted by Jodi Widuch and Todd Restel.
