I hope to see you all at our club’s fellowship meeting which occurs on the third Tuesday of every month. We will meet at Dublin Square Irish Pub this Tuesday.
For the month of March, my selection of educational content has closely mirrored Rotary International’s focus on “Water and Sanitation.” As you know, I search the internet for educational and informative content that is somehow applicable to our lives and at least tangentially related to Rotary. This week’s first link to content is from a TED talk on whether or not we are running out of clean water. It is just under 5 minutes long. TED Talk Link
This second link is from a Jewish Chef named Dan Barber who tells an amazing parable about Foie Gras. Believe it or not, this parable does tie in nicely with many Rotary areas of focus. The video is 20 minutes long. Dan Barber Link
This last link is a short video (4 minutes) on the physics of ketchup in a bottle. In addition to providing some hints on how to get the ketchup to come out of the bottle easier, it is a fascinating discussion on “Non-Newtonian Fluids.” This link is definitely a stretch to claim a direct link to Rotary, but is nonetheless interesting.

Thank you to those of you who made Lucia’s birthday so special last week! As a final note, I would ask you to invite a potential member to join us at this week’s meeting. We have funds set aside to cover the cost of your visitor.

As you know, we are celebrating 100 years of Rotary service to our region with the Growing Hearts Across the World campaign. The campaign will culminate with the completion of the Cameroon Garden in Riverside Park in the summer of 2019. The Garden will honor the rich cultural traditions of Cameroon and provide a wonderful gathering place overlooking the area where the the “Three Rivers” meet. Most importantly, it will serve as a model for community and international service for the upcoming generations of Rotarians.
To date, we have received excellent support from Rotarians. But we have not yet heard from all of you. The next phase of the Growing Hearts Across the World campaign will be to the Seven Rivers Region community. It is very important to be able to state to the community at large that Rotarians are fully committed to Growing Hearts Across the World. Indeed, there is no better message than to state...every Rotarian in our Club contributed. We have asked members to consider a $100 contribution pledge for up to two years. However, your contribution at any level will count. Please complete a pledge card and include with your payment.

Please turn in your pledge cards and contributions to Earlamae Dahlby or send your contribution to Rotary at P.O. Box 1914, La Crosse, WI 54602-1914.
One hundred years of service by Rotary has had a profound impact on the lives of many in our region and throughout the world. Come join us in celebrating this service...and help set the stage for generations of Rotarians in the years to come. If you would like more information, please contact Lee Rasch, Chuck Hanson or Eva Marie Restel.
