In a very challenging year our Youth Exchange Program continued to change the lives of our Inbound students and the people in Shawano.

Each Year the Shawano Rotary Club gives out an Emereth Bruner Scholarship and two Youth Rotary Scholarships to deserving Shawano County youths attending College.

On Monday Shawano's Rotary Club hosted a joint area meeting with Clintonville with Steve Handrick our District Governor

In conjunction with Shawano Pathways and Shawano County Parks we are helping resurface the Mountain Bay Bridge!

Throughout India and around the world, Rotary clubs are celebrating a major milestone: India has gone three years without a new case of polio. The last reported case was a two-year-old girl in West Bengal on 13 January 2011. To mark this historic triumph, Rotary clubs illuminated landmarks and iconic structures throughout the country with four simple but powerful words, "India is polio free."

 

The three-year achievement sets the stage for polio-free certification of the entire Southeast Asia region by the World Health Organization. The Indian government also plans to convene a polio summit in February to commemorate this victory in the global effort to eradicate polio.

 

What a great  presentation from Raul at Cornerstone!  He certainly packed in a lot of information. Thank you to Cap for being our volunteer.  I hope several of you have been able to take advantage of the discounted session for attendees.  I will be visiting Raul today!

 

Next week, we will once again hear from Jaime/Aaron on the latest Shawano News update. 

 

Paula will also present the club financials. Certainly, many things are up-in-the air for Shawano Rotary, at the moment.  We will continue to meet at Shawano Cafe for now, but this will not be our forever home.  We will also need to determine club leadership for 2023.  

 

There are many happenings in our area this weekend.  The Novitiate will be hosting the 'Miles of Art', with proceeds going to support the local schools.  Downtown Shawano has an Octoberfest celebration.  My hometown will be taken over by horses for the Caroline Colorama.  And the final Flea Market of 2022 will also host a Classic Car Show.  Get outside and enjoy some beautiful Autumn weather!
