County Health Department Update
The County Health Department is strongly recommending that anyone over the age of two (2) wear a mask in public indoor spaces AND at indoor private gatherings. This guidance also applies to those who have been vaccinated.  Hand sanitizer will be at each table for your convenience. Meals will be plated and served to you.
This Week at Rotary: DEI Committee and Mai Chao Duddeck
Mai Chao is a visual artist, intercultural author, and global educator. She holds a Doctor of Education degree in Student Affairs Administration Leadership. Prior to becoming Sr. Consultant in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Gundersen Health System, she taught across the K-16 American educational system.
 
At the heart of Mai Chao’s research interest is creating culturally engaging environments that welcome inclusion and belonging. She is passionate about working collectively with leaders across communities to close the health disparities gap while fostering belonging for all.
 
In her limited free time, she enjoys creating, reading, writing, traveling, and being with family. She is the proud author of an intercultural, historical novel, called Gathering Fireflies (2015).
Last Week at Rotary: Paul Harris Celebration and Presentation
Paul Harris presentation awards led by Dean Dickenson, Patt Boge, and Catherine Kolkmeier....and special guest, Paul Harris himself!
 
Paul Harris awards celebrate the generous giving of our members and reflect the impact that the people in our club are giving to our community, country, and the world. 
 
Congratulations to all of our award winners. We wish you all could have been with us in person.
