A Rotary LOL Moment
Volunteer Drivers Needed

The American Cancer Society Road to Recovery program relies on volunteer drivers to take cancer patients to and from their treatments. Lack of transportation is often a major problem for cancer patients when either they have no transportation or are too ill to drive. Family and friends may help, but are not always available.

We are looking for more volunteer drivers to help cancer patients in your area. Time commitments vary but rides are generally during the weekday and each Road to Recovery volunteer driver decides how much time he or she contributes. Requirements for participation include a valid, current driver’s license, a safe driving record and proof of insurance, as well as completing the application process and a brief training session.

For more information on volunteering as a Road to Recovery driver, contact the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org/drive.

Rotary: People of Action
One Tree Planted for Every Rotarian-Action Day Monday October 16

Thanks to former MT member Jerry Gold, who transferred to Milwaukee North Shore RC, we have a great opportunity to do our first tree planting project. Mequon Nature Preserve is providing 200 trees for their restoration work and all they need are some people of action to plant them on Monday 16 October. We’ll be teaming with Milwaukee North Shore and possibly another Rotary Club, but volunteers can also be friends and family of members too.

Jerry has coordinated two work shifts 9am-12pm and 1:00pm-4:pm. The 200 hundred trees will mostly be 5 gallon buckets. But there is mulching and other things people can do to participate. Mequon Nature Preserve will supply the equipment needed.

Planning ahead for next year if we want to blow away our tree planting goal, we can also participate in planting 3,000 tree saplings. They do this around Earth day for their earth day initiative. Now that would really be an opportunity to show Rotary “making a difference”.

Thanks, Brian
D6270 Tree Planting Coordinator

Wishing You Continued Success Pablo With Your Move

Newer MT member Pablo Gutierrez has accepted a promotional opportunity with Wells Fargo. This new role will take him to Sparks Nevada. Pablo regrets his fast departure and not being able to say goodbye to his MT friends. He was very surprised that he was chosen for this position and he referred to it a “dream job”.

This move will also take I’m closer to family. He mentioned to Wells Fargo that he wants to continue in Rotary and has started exploring the many Rotary clubs in the Sparks/Reno area. His email will stay the same, so if any of us are in the area he encourages us to look him up.
