The COVID-19 level for La Crosse County is measuring at a MEDIUM level at this time.
Per current CDC guidelines, when a county is in medium COVID risk level, wearing masks indoors is optional.
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.
This Week at Rotary: Dr. Taggert Brooks, Effects of Inflation on Equity in America
Dr. Taggert Brooks is the Dean of the College of Business Administration at UWL. He will be speaking about the effects of inflation on equity in America.
Last Week at Rotary: Paul Mueller, Mayo Clinic New Hospital
On April 12 Mayo Clinic Health System broke ground on a $198 million inpatient hospital. During this program we saw animated videos of the new building taking shape and get a “look” inside.
We learned how this facility will incorporate advances in medical practice to support the Mayo staff in providing 5-Star patient care in our region and gained insight on Mayo's strategic plan.
The meal will be Chicken Penne, vodka red sauce and spinach
Milk and iced tea will be available for you to pick up at the north bar as you find your seat. Cargill Room staff will also be happy to deliver a glass of milk or iced tea to you while they're serving the meal.
Note: If you prefer to keep your mask on during the entire meeting, you will be provided a boxed lunch to take home with you.

Speaking in Public: A Great Lesson
Rumor has it we all enjoy the classification talks at weekly Rotary Club Meetings. Does that make you anxious? Are you apprehensive to talk in front of a large group?A member passed this video on to us as a great resource. Patrick Henry Winston is touted as a real expert in public speaking and offers this video to help you. Enjoy!

Polio Plus – Children are Counting on Rotarians to Finish the Job
During the past month, we have learned about two new cases of wild polio in Pakistan. Both cases come from the same area of the country. The good news is that we know about it, treatment can be provided, and the urgency for vaccinations is reinforced with local and national leaders. We also continue to encounter vaccine derived polio in Africa.
While this news is disappointing, it also reminds Rotarians that we cannot let our guard down. If Rotary were to stop vaccinations today, it is estimated that at least 200,000 children across the globe would be paralyzed by polio within 10 years. That would mean that polio could make its way back to our own communities.
Children are counting Rotarians to see this through. If you haven't given to Polio Plus this year, now would be a good time to do so. To learn more and/or donate, visit https://www.rotary.org/en/our-causes/ending-polio. And don't forget, every dollar you give is matched 2:1 by the Gates Foundation. That's high impact giving!
