A Rotary LOL Moment

Frank and Ernest by Thaves

Member Spotlight - Allie Gerschke Kinney

Where were you born, education/degrees or associations/board seats? I was born in Chicago, but moved to Wisconsin when I was two- so I am a Packers fan, but have a soft spot for the Bears. I earned a BA in Biological Psychology from CU-Boulder and an MBA in Product and Brand Management from UWM.

What did you want to be when you grew up? Sports Medicine physician.

Name of company & position, or your very first job: Advanced Ear, Nose & Throat Specialists (ADVENT), Provider & Community Outreach Coordinator.

Family: My husband, Mike, owns his own electrical contracting business. My son, Harrison, is 11, has developed a fantastic appreciation of sarcasm, and loves playing just about any and every sport, but is most passionate about soccer- he wants to be the next Lionel Messi. My daughter, Emme, is 9.5 and the sweetest, smartest, sparkle and tutu-loving old soul you’ll ever meet- she’s informed NASA that she will be working there as an astrogeologist. My daughter, McKenna (known as Smoosh to most), is 8, impossibly loving, and easily the funniest person I’ve ever met- she’s still planning to be a “hair doer,” but I can only see her on Second City.

Interests/hobbies/last book read/favorite movie/what’s playing in on your car’s stereo/pastimes: Event planning is part of my role within ADVENT and last night was our second annual State of the Union meeting. One item I was tasked with for the event was creating an upbeat playlist which turned out really well and is presently being played in my car. And may lead to some dancing while driving…

Biggest career accomplishment/highlight to date, or what do you like best about your job? The biggest career highlight for me was last summer when ADVENT was recognized as the second fastest growing business in Milwaukee by the Milwaukee Business Journal and I was asked to not only accept the award on ADVENT’s behalf, but also represent ADVENT in the brief interview they do with the top two businesses.

Unexpected lessons from my disaster relief experience

By Yannis Comino

Over my summer break at the University of Newcastle in New South Wales, I decided to trade in the warmer weather of Australia for an English winter. Why, you might ask, would I do such a thing? Well, the only way I can explain it is — I was presented with the opportunity of a lifetime. During my New Generations Service Exchange at the headquarters of ShelterBox International in Truro, Cornwall, I gained priceless insight and first-hand experience in disaster relief management.

Both my mother and father are members of the Rotary Club of Morisset, and their club’s constant promotion of ShelterBox gave me the idea to seek the exchange. I am currently working on a bachelor’s in Development Studies with the hope of pursuing a career in the aid sector through either community development or disaster management, so I was thrilled when my exchange was approved.
