MOBILE MEALS COMMITTEE.....The committee's purpose is to serve those less fortunate than us who have difficulty preparing a meal or leaving their homes or apartments to get a meal. Many of the meal recipients are very lonely. A visit from a Rotarian delivering their meal may be their own human contact for the entire day. Each of the committee members has their own stories to tell how they have befriended a meal recipient. It's in those stories that lie the most rewarding aspect of Mobile Meal delivery. Mobile Meals web site.
The committee has completed another year of delivering meals ...they delivered about 1,260 meals!
The Rotary Clubs in the area are making pledges to help with the cost of the Discover Wisconsin Rotary Lights episode that was broadcast on October 31, 2015. Discover Wisconsin will broadcast this segment for three years and it will air in 8 Midwesternstates. What a great promotional opportunity.
We have raised $3,000.00 towards our pledge of $3,000.00 Thank you to all who donated.
Lights. Camera. Action! When 3,000 volunteers and over 3 million lights come together, it’s a magical thing. In this episode, Jake goes behind-the-scenes with Rotary Lights volunteers to learn what it takes to put the show on each and every year. Mariah explores holiday light show bliss including live music, hay rides, breakfast with Santa, live reindeer, carriage rides, a 5k Ugly Sweater Run and so much more.
