Member Spotlight - Abby Thompson

Career mentor/favorite words of wisdom/role model:  Favorite words of wisdom come from my dad, “Superior Attitude.”

First job? Busser and dishwasher at a restaurant close to my home town.

Where were you born:  I was born in Beaver Dam, WI

What I like best about my job:  I like that we can provide solutions for companies that truly make a difference.  Personally, the flexibility is great, and they measure upon results, not time put in an office.

Hobbies, interests? I like to hang out with my daughter and husband.  I also like to be active outdoors riding my bike, or heading to Badger games.

Most important lesson you’ve learned in business:  I’ve learned many lessons in business, but I think the one that I always return to is, “don’t let the highs get too high, or the lows get too low.”  Being in sales can be a roller coaster, so keeping an even temperament is essential

HOW OUR MEMBERSHIP WORKS

Membership in a Rotary club is by invitation only. We want to make sure you join a club that best fits your passion and perspective. We can connect you with a club that's right for you and make it easy to get involved and on your way to membership immediately.

  • You express interest - Let us know a little about yourself and what you’re looking for in a club. We’ll find the local clubs in your area and let them know you’re interested.
  • Rotary matches you with a club - Based on your preferences and interests, Rotary leaders in your community will match you with the local club that fits you best.
  • A local club contacts you - A Rotary club member will contact you by email or phone to discuss your interest in Rotary. You’ll be invited to get to know the club better by attending a club meeting, a social event, or even to join in on a service project as a volunteer.
  • The club invites you to join - Now that you and a local club have spent some time together and determined that you’re a good fit for each other, you will be invited to join. Each club has its own ways of welcoming new members; they may hold a ceremony for you.
  • You’re a member! - Enjoy getting involved in your new club as a Rotary member. Join a committee. Lead a service project. Organize a social event. Lead and contribute to your new club.
A Rotary LOL Moment
Spur 16 Mequon land purchase agreement approved, developer agreement put on hold

By Erik S. Hanley

MEQUON - Shaffer Development's offer to purchase the land for Spur 16 Mequon has been approved, but the development agreement still needs some work.

Spur 16 Mequon will be the second phase of the city's town center project.

The purchase was approved at the Feb. 14 Mequon Common Council meeting on a 7-1 vote, with Alderman Mark Gierl the only dissenting voice on the council.

According to the amended offer to purchase, the closing of the land will happen on Aug. 1. The first phase – which includes the majority of the residential development at the north end of the site as well as the east-west road with access off Buntrock Avenue, and the north-south road with access off Mequon Road – must be completed by Dec. 31, 2018.

Thought of the Week

My theory on housework is, if the item doesn’t multiply, smell, catch fire, or block the refrigerator door, let it be. No one else cares. Why should you? ~ Erma Bombeck

Your Support Needed for Family Sharing Food Drive

 

Calling all Rotarians!

We are partnering with Family Sharing of Ozaukee County to collect non-perishable food items through the month of February.

Family Sharing provides food, at no charge, to people in need in Ozaukee County. All donations of food are distributed directly to those who need it. Their supply is at a critical low this time of year, and we’d like to help support their efforts in collecting items.

Please bring your food donations to our Friday meetings.

Thanks for your support!
