Meeting is Thursday, Aug. 13, 2026, at Cabin Coffee, 7:00 AM.
This week - Mike VG hosts and we will have Tom and/or Duana Bremer joining us with an update on what is happening with the Salvation Army in the Barron Co. area.
Last week we had a fun visit with our new DG Michael-Jon Pease. He led a good discussion on why we are in Rotary, what we hope to get from it and encouragement for the future of our club. He also handed out a couple of impact awards to Monika and Jason in our club and Lisa in the Cumberland Impact Club. He also found our Jim Stoll to give him recognition of his work with our club. Here are a few photos.
Couple of reminders: Aug 24 working at St. Vinnies - let Monika know if you can help out. Also 1st Qtr dues sent out - please pay. Thanks!
