Changemakers Rotary Club

MEMBERSHIP IS EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBILITY
 
We only need 4 more people so we can charter as a club!  Only 4!  We are so close.  Be sure to think about asking friends, co-workers, and spouses.
 
On April 29 and 30, 2022, we will be part of the Tricon District conference.  Feel free to join us for the day or for the weekend!  We can learn about what is going on in our District, as well as, learn about what our neighbors are doing in the surrounding Districts.  There are lots of opportunities to get involved.  We are a Service organization - let's get involved!
 
Be sure to join us for our next regular meeting on May 6, 2022 - we will learn more about an opportunity for us to partner with a Wisconsin company so we can help people.  Join us so we can learn more and give your voice to the project so we can help more and more people!   
 
Enjoy the warmer weather!  See everyone next week!
Service Central - We know how important service is to our members., and Dwight and Cheryl are currently working on developing several opportunities for service.  Please feel free to comment, or join the committee!! 
  • The Changemakers Rotary Club is beginning to explore a keystone relationship with Family Health La Clinica, a Wautoma non-profit organization whose mission is to improve the health and well-being of all people in communities they serve, primarily in Central Wisconsin, by providing primary medical, dental, mental health, and addiction services designed to meet health needs and improve access to care. Rotarian Liz Parizo is affiliated with the organization and is facilitating this investigation. While we continue to find the most meaningful ways to support this organization,  let's start by leveraging our Rotary contacts for a Diaper Drive, which Liz suggested as a need.  We're thinking of using social media, a Go Fund Me and D6250 District Dispatch to round up as many diapers as we can.  Find out more at our meeting on May 6.
  • We're challenging all Changemakers to reach out to nearby Rotary clubs, to let them know about us and to offer volunteer assistance in their service projects and support for their fundraisers.  
  • Build a Rotary Bulletin Board of service opportunities.  How would this work??  We're not sure...perhaps you have some ideas.
  • As Changemaker Rotarians, we likely are frequently guilty of doing Random Acts of Kindness.  Let's document those in word or picture and get the word out to others.  It's a good way to invite others to do the same. We can send information to Changemaker Rotarian Peter Groth.  He'll publish our acts of kindness on Facebook.  Perhaps a challenge is in order??
These are a few ideas to get us started.  We're looking for feedback.  Contact Dwight or Cheryl with questions, comments, suggestions.

Volunteer Opportunity May 21 RYLA Rotarian Staff
Title:  RYLA Rotarian Staff
When: Saturday, May 21st 
Where:   Upham Woods, Wisconsin Dells
Contact: Michelle McGrath - drmichellemcgrath@gmail.com
Description:  I want to THANK you for your incredible service to your clubs and community!  We are so grateful to have you in our District!

As you may know, we are in the throes of selecting our staff for the upcoming RYLA event - which this year is only 1 DAY (something SUPER feasible for our Rotarians....especially for some of them that I always wanted to get involved in our program)  THIS IS YOU ;-)
 
We have a good list of high school and college age students for staff, however, would love a couple more Rotarians to join us for Saturday, May 21st at Upham Woods in the Dells.  Your commitment would be arriving on Saturday at 8:00 AM (or you can come the night before for the overnight)  Students arrive at 9:30 and leave at 6:00 PM.  That's it - PLUS you will have the most AMAZING, INSPIRING day!
 
Next year we will be back to a 3 day event...so this is an INCREDIBLE opportunity to experience RYLA in a short piece!  
 
Thanks for thinking about this opportunity!  We would love to have you.  Please let me know if you have any questions about this opportunity or have anyone else you would like me to ask and include!
