The speaker committee needs your ideas for presentations or speakers, so please send them to him for exciting programs.
We are about to start a new year for Rotary. We are always looking for speakers. There are no set rules for the speakers, and we welcome diverse people. If you have anyone in mind, please contact me via e-mail, and we will work to invite them to a meeting.
At our meetings, the Greeter will provide either the thought, a Rotary minute, share a family moment or a cultural tradition... anything with which they would like to start off the day positive.

I grew up in Woodstock, Illinois, but I’ve spent the majority of my life in Wisconsin which is where I consider home. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin – Whitewater with a major in English Literature and a minor in Business. I earned a Master of Arts degree in Special Education from Cardinal Stritch.
I taught students with disabilities, working mostly with students with Autism and Emotional & Behavioral issues. I loved the kids! After ten years of teaching, I decided that it was time for a change.
I have a passion for 19th Century Early American Literature. I made a pilgrimage to Walden Pond in 2006 and participated in a retreat where I studied the land, literature and legacy of Henry David Thoreau as well as other authors. While I was there, I wrote curriculum for my students with special needs in my Composition Literature class focusing on nature journaling.
I’ve been working with Dan O’Connor at O’Connor Wealth Management for a little over four years. Everyday is something new. We have a lot of fun at the office.
About a year and a half ago I joined Rotary. It’s been a great experience, and I’ve made many new friends and new family members. Friday mornings are the highlight of my week!
Mequon-Thiensville Sunrise Rotary 2025 5th Annual Around the World Dinner
HOLD THE DATE for our BIGGEST Fundraiser of the Year!
The Mequon-Thiensville Sunrise Rotary Club will hold its Annual AROUND THE WORLD dinner on Thursday, September 18, 2025, at 6 PM at Lumen Christi Church, 2750 W Mequon Road, Mequon, WI 53092.
This is not just a dinner, but a significant event that makes a profound impact on our local and global community.
Each year, the club has a fund-a-cause. Last year was a “Theme of Supporting Locally - Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.” We raised over $20,000 last year which was dispersed to 3 nonprofit organizations serving our Veterans. This year we will continue to support Mental Health in our community.
Prepare your taste buds for a delightful journey! There is always delicious food, and this year is no exception. It includes a rich variety of cuisines from Nepal, Ukraine, and Central America.
Throughout the evening, we will be hosting a silent auction, followed by a lively live auction. These auctions feature a variety of fun and tasty items to bid on. Last year, the generous donations from the AROUND THE WORLD Event allowed the M-T Sunrise Rotary to assist over 30 different organizations, making a significant impact on our community both locally and globally.
If you would like to be a sponsor let us know at Schlag911@earthlink.net. Auction items can be donated by contacting monicatme3@gmail.com. Tickets for the event will go on sale in August.
