Events

We're on the road at Heckrodt to learn about the impact of our grants and get a sneak peek of the Creepy Crawlies event!  Lunch will be OUTSIDE in their picnic area, so please dress for the weather.

Strive 2B:) is a partnership between Rotary Club of Neenah and Shattuck Middle School to provide leadership and enrichment activities for a group of 8th grade students chosen by the school counselors. Our events are typically held once per month for an hour or two during the school day. We've received excellent feedback from participants and school personnel in past years, so we know that Strive 2B:) makes a positive impact on these students. 

The goals of the Strive 2 B program are to:

• Improve performance in school and take advantage of educational activities
• Encourage teamwork and acceptance of others
• Build self esteem
• Learn about and participate in opportunities and programs offered through local organizations to become involved in the community

After a two-year break in the program, we are back on for the 2022-23 school year and looking for Rotarians to join the Strive 2B:) Committee. Being able to attend every monthly meeting isn't a requirement; even if you can only attend some months, or are willing to help with planning activities, we'd be happy to have you on our team! 

If you are interested in joining the Strive 2B: Committee, please email Dana at 2dkohlmeyers@gmail.com . 

There will be a planning meeting held at Shattuck Middle School on Friday, October 7 from 8:30 - 9:30 AM with the school counselors. All committee members are welcome, but not expected, to attend. Let Dana know if you will attend so we have ample handouts (if any will be provided.)

It is once again time to gather as a Club and see who can find the best treasure next to the Highway! Our Highway Cleanup will take place Wednesday, October 12th at 5pm. We will meet in the parking lot of the storage units acoss from Ridgeway Country Club.

Please feel free to bring family members who may want to help!

Deb & John Skyrms will share the secret to love that lasts! Their presentation is based on The Five Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman. They’ll share a simple and practical approach to give and receive love from your partner.  The problem in relationships often isn’t a lack of love, but rather how that love is communicated. What speaks volumes to you may be meaningless to your partner. Join us to discover your personal love language!

Rotary on the Road. Our own Richard Moore will take us on a site and sound tour of the large pipe organ at First Presbyterian in Neenah.  Lunch will be at Noon sharp.  We will then move to the sanctuary for the program.  Richard will provide an explanation and demonstration of the different sounds on the organ and give an overall picture of how an organist goes about playing what is often referred to as the King of instruments.

John Benberg will provide an update on Neenah's Boys & Girls Brigade programming, including the Christmas Giving initiative.

Join us for a Rotary on the Road as our own Scott Schanhofer and Nick Ogden lead a facility tour of the Ogden YMCA.
