Our club has been pretty busy in the last month! We have had some wonderful speakers, a fundraising opportunity, as well as a new member induction!
Brian Monroe and Alicia Nickols of Mequon-Thiensville Sunrise Rotary joined the group on September 20th to discuss the possibility of a partnership with their fundraiser, Rotary Says. Rotary Says is a hands on fundraiser modeled after the classic game show, Family Feud. Participants of all types, from 5th graders to bankers, will compete in individual tournaments answering questions in a fun fast paced environment. Rotaract Milwaukee is excited to take part as an opportunity to learn from Mequon-Thiensville Sunrise Rotary, as well as to become more acquainted with the community.
In addition to Brian Monroe and Alicia Nickols, we were proud to welcome 6270 District Governor Nancy Rhodes to our meeting on October 4th. Rhodes spoke to the group about the theme for the year; “Reach within to embrace humanity” and the goals that go hand in hand. She spoke on the importance of a strong family in order to build a strong community, continuity and the importance of telling our story better, and change as a future vision as goals for Rotarians.
In addition to our speakers, we worked a Wheel Chair Wash and Maintenance Training in September. Rotaract members helped to make sure the chairs were both clean and in good working condition. In addition to checking on the chairs, Rotaracters attended to the needs of the consumers while they were without their chairs.
Finally, we were both proud and excited to induct six new members into our club on October 4th! Rotaract Milwaukee is excited to work with the new members not only to see what talents and skills they can bring to the club and the community, but also to help cultivate their personal leadership and service abilities.
Overall, it has been a very exciting month for Rotaract Milwaukee with a comfortable balance of service, meetings, and fun!
