Member Spotlight: Ben Zang
Posted by Jim DeLillo on Oct. 11, 2024
After nearly two decades of owning his own business, Ben transitioned to focus on family life and a career in consulting. He has experience across various industries and has assisted companies with operations, technology, and employee benefits. Ben's diverse background and strong network of experts bring valuable insights and fresh perspectives to his clients. He likens business to raising children, understanding that both evolve—what works today may need to change for tomorrow’s success.
 
There will be a season for celebration and a season for tough conversations, but there should always be trust and honesty between him and the client. It is with this reverence and responsibility that Ben builds his practice.

Hey M-T Sunrise Rotarians,

On Saturday, September 6, our two clubs are volunteering at Taste of Mequon for 2-hour shifts to educate the community about Rotary and the playground. Please sign up for a shift by clicking here: https://www.signupgenius.com/
 
Save-the-date - Wednesday, October 1 -  for this event at Mequon Rotary Park's Reuter Pavilion. We invite you to bring your family and friends to learn more about our project!

Rotary Club Excellence Award
 
MT Sunrise Rotary Club Honored with Club Excellence Award! 🌅

We’re thrilled to announce that the MT Sunrise Rotary Club has been recognized with the prestigious Club Excellence Award—a testament to our unwavering commitment to service, integrity, and community impact.

From early-morning projects to late-night planning, our members have shown what it means to live the Rotary motto: Service Above Self. Whether it’s supporting local youth initiatives, championing environmental stewardship, or fostering international goodwill, this award reflects the heart and hustle of every Rotarian in our club.

And yes—we made it fun along the way. 💛

Thank you to all who contribute their time, talent, and tenacity. This honor belongs to every handshake, every brainstorm, and every moment we chose to lead with purpose.

Let’s keep the momentum going. The sunrise is just the beginning.
Will it be Fun
