My fellow Changemakers, we are starting the second half of the 2025-2026 Rotary Year. Now is the time to step up and get involved in our club! I am pleased to announce that Julie Zillmer is our President-Elect, who will be president in 2026-27. We are still looking for a Treasurer, a co-chair of the service committee, a President Nominee who will be president in 2027-2028, and those interested in forming new committees. We always welcome your suggestions for our monthly guest speakers. Sydney Widell from the Coon Creek Community Watershed Council is our guest speaker on January 2nd. Invite your family and friends to join our monthly Zoom meeting at 8 am. And, join us for fellowship at 7:30. (Rotary International causes: Providing Clean Water and Protecting the Environment)
We still need a speaker for February 6th; please let me know if you have someone that you could invite. Our March speaker will be Ben Stanger, CEO and Founder of Green Box Compost in Sun Prairie. I have a Green Box Subscription and every other week my compost box is picked up and a new box is delivered for me to fill up. My statistics so far are 394 pounds diverted from the landfill, 390 driving miles offset, 2.6 seedlings planted, and 17 gallons of gas offset by diverting food scraps from the landfill. (Rotary International cause: Protecting the Environment) Bonus! I get five gallons of composted matter twice a year to add to my flower beds, AKA Pollinator garden.
Please join me and all of your fellow Changemakers in making this second half of the Rotary year a great one!
