An Invitation to Build Goodwill and Better Friendships
Posted by Steve Lettau on Mar 02, 2017

Our sister club RCofMMA has monthly socials and I and a few others from MT have enjoyed attending them. Here is an easy way for MT Members to build goodwill and better friendships while getting to know members of the RCofMMA. They are alternating their socials, one month in Mequon are the next month in the Milw area. These are great opportunities for spouses or potential members to attend and they count as a “Make-Up”.

Here is the upcoming schedule: (all are the 2nd Thursday of the month starting at 5:45pm)

  • 9 March-Zaffiro’s
  • 13 April-Milw Brat House
  • 11 May-Harvey’s
  • 8 June-Big Daddy’s Bayshore

They like to provide the venue with a headcount, so if you plan on attending please send Kola an email by noon the day of at kalayande@live.com.

Thanks, Brian
Mequon one of five principal cities involved in potential Lake Michigan National Marine Sanctuary

MEQUON - There may not be buried treasure, but the 37 known shipwrecks off the Wisconsin coast of Lake Michigan are valuable enough that they may soon be protected.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is looking to designate a 1,075-square-mile area of Lake Michigan as a National Marine Sanctuary.

Much of the cargo has value for the historical aspect with two of Wisconsin’s oldest shipwrecks from the 1830s included in the proposed sanctuary area. According to Russ Green, NOAA’s regional coordinator for the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, most of the ships sank between the 1830s and the late 1920s.

Posted by Steve Lettau on Feb 23, 2017

Rotary is 1.2 million passionate individuals in 35,000+ clubs worldwide. We are both an international organization and a local community leader. Together we lead change in our own backyards and across the world.

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.
