Last week our guest speaker was Misty Lown. Misty's program was "Wisdom in Balancing Work and Life." Misty founded her first business, Misty’s Dance Unlimited, at age 21. Since that time she has founded several more companies including More Than Just Great Dancing™, Everything Dance, Midwest Dance Connection, and A Chance To Dance Foundation. She is also a managing partner of EduCare, LLC and Lown Family Enterprises and a general partner in three real estate investment partnerships. Misty is also married and mother to five. Misty has encouraged and inspired hundreds of entrepreneurs and young women in the past fifteen years and continues to share her positive and humorous perspective on business and life through through her writing, speaking, and mentoring. She gave an empowering program on work and life balance. Some of her thoughts were..seize the day..and make sure your worst enemy is not living between your own two ears. With so many distractions and possibilities in our digital life its easy to get scattered ... she suggested using "Rescuetime.com" to help with your work-life balance. Other programs she has used are Basecamp.com and FollowUp.cc.

 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.
Congratulations to Hal Keitel who I left off the list of Paul Harris Fellows last week!
Good to know even though Hal has not been at Rotary
due to his health that
he still reads the newsletter to keep up on our club!
(Hal said he will have to have his left leg amputated in
November just below the knee.
He said he should be good for the holidays.)
Hal Keitel - Paul Harris +5

Tomah Rotary’s third annual Wine into Water event takes place Thursday, Oct. 22 at the Cranberry Country Lodge in Tomah. The event begins at 5:30 p.m. and lasts until 8:30-p.m. Tickets include a sampling of local and international wines paired with amazing hors d’oeuvres. Non-alcoholic beverages will also be available. The evening’s activities include silent auction, Ipad raffle, and a live auction featuring a wide variety of handmade art and unique experiences. Beautiful art pieces donated by local artists, Mathews bow, kayaking experiences, gourmet dinners, fishing trips, cooking classes, and handmade quilts are just a few of the auction items available.
Special guests this year are Mike Thompson and Jennifer Livingston, anchors for WKBT NewsChannel8.
Funds raised from this event will support the Tomah Rotary’s International Project in Busulo, Uganda, including initiatives for clean water, self-sustaining chicken farm, educational support, and micro businesses for women and young men. Last year’s Wine Into Water event raised over $35,000 to support this mission. The funds have already been used in Uganda to provide ongoing clean water, education, and daily meals to over 17,000 children.
New this year funds from the Chinese Water raffle will be used to support Tomah’s Holiday Lights and other local Tomah Rotary community activities.
Tickets are $20 each, the cost to provide a child with 20 years of clean water.
Tickets may be purchased at the following locations: Tomah Chamber of Commerce, Tomah Area Credit Union, Timberwood Bank, Partnership Bank, F & M Bank, Clifton Larson Allen LLP, First Choice Realty, Westland Insurance, Holthaus Insurance, Brenegen Auto, and Chitwood Nichols and Matthews and at the door.
