     At West Bend Sunrise Rotary’s January 8 meeting, Assistant District Governor Brian Monroe and a past Club President Bob Patten presented Paul Harris Fellow Service awards to the Kettle Moraine Jazz Fest leadership team for their 15 years of service.
     These volunteers exemplify the Rotary motto “Service above Self”.  Pictured from left to right are: Brian Monroe, Chris Guse, Jeff Szulkalski, Kirk Emerich, Wendy Heather, Steve Domres, Mary Beth Seiser, Phyllis Schaefer, Teri Otis, Bob Gannon, Bob Patten, Wayne Kainz, Mike Chevalier.  (Recipients not available for photo are Patrician Fabian, Doug Fitzgerald, Tim Galante, Ryan Gieryn and Jim Vest.)

The Rotarian published an article in the February 2013 edition about a project started by Lee Breese of the West Allis Rotary Club.  It is this month's Insider article entitled, "Making the Grade."  (p. 71)  

     RI President Elect Ron Burton will ask Rotarians to "Engage Rotary, Change Lives" in 2013-2014.  He unveiled the RI theme during the opening plenary session of the 2013 International Assembly in San Diego, California, USA, the annual training event for incoming district governors.

     In less than a month, we are inviting the incoming club leadership or designated club representatives to attend one of the two scheduled Future Vision Grant Management Seminars (GMS).  While clubs were originally asked to send one person to the session, we are now encouraging two (2) people per club to attend.
     One of the people attending, should be the NEW Club President that will serve beginning July 1,  2013.  Please bring a pen or pencil with you.

     Here is the detail information on each session: (click "more")

     The first half of the Rotary year is now past and now is the time to focus on bringing the year to a successful end.  Please keep Rotary's number one priority, the eradication of polio, front and center as you work for a successful year in Rotary.  Few in the world will have the opportunity help make a mark in history.  You have that opportunity.  You do not want to miss it.

How can you help??
