Classification Talk: Jane Klekamp

Jun. 19, 2025
When Rotary was established by Paul Harris and three others, each person came from a different walk of life. This diversity is a cornerstone of Rotary. The intent is to have a cross-section of business and professional experiences in your community.

For decades Rotary International listed a range of professional “classifications” and restricted how many representatives of each could be in a club. This ensures that each club reflects the community in which it serves. It also reminds us to not have one profession as a dominant voice in our club. Over time, these restrictions have pretty much given way, but your classification continues to be of great interest to your fellow club members. That’s why your Rotary badge carries your name and your classification.
 
Classification talks help us learn about the life experiences and professional backgrounds of new members.

Jean Pagliaro: Franciscan Spirituality Center

40 Years of the FSC: Creating Community, Connection and Compassionate Listening

Jul. 24, 2025

The Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration founded the Franciscan Spirituality Center four decades ago as a place for spiritual development, offering opportunities for prayer experiences, retreats, spiritual direction and open discussion. We’ve grown and evolved over the years to meet changing needs, but our core mission has remained the same: We are dedicated to ALL who seek God, meaning and wholeness and we create spaces for community, connection and compassionate listening.  Come and learn more about what the FSC offers to individuals, the community, and beyond!

Jean has been a part of the FSC team since 2017. Her first role was as the program and retreat coordinator. She earned her Master of Divinity from Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago and her Bachelor of Arts in social work from Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin. She has extensive training in crisis response, community-based organizing and effective communication, as well as significant fundraising and grant-writing experience. Jean serves on the boards of YWCA and Scouts BSA and is also on the Advisory Committee for Great Rivers 2-1-1. She lives in Onalaska with her husband, Matt; their children, Logan and Lydia; and Labrador Retriever, Scout.

Sam Scinta

The Least Dangerous Branch? Understanding the Supreme Court in the 21st Century

Oct. 30, 2025
 When the Supreme Court was created by our Constitution in 1787, it was intended to be the least dangerous of the three branches of government. In more recent times, the Court has been perceived as more powerful, and often more political, taking on a larger role in our public discourse. In honor of the new 2025-26 Court term, this session will explore the vision of the Court through the eyes of the Founders, and perceptions of its current role in our system of government.
 
Sam Scinta is a Lecturer in the Political Science Department at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, where he is also the Director of the Legal Studies Minor, and a Lecturer in the History Department at Viterbo University. He is the creator and Director of the Common Good Initiative, a program dedicated to civic education and strengthening bonds between citizens and government, within Viterbo’s Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership. As part of this program, Sam created Rebuilding American Civics, a program designed to provide civics education and creating a space for civil discourse for community members, along with Civics and Cinema, a partnership with the Rivoli Theater. For over 25 years, he served as an editor and the publisher of Fulcrum Publishing, a leading independent book publisher. He was also the founder and former Director of IM Education, Inc., a nonprofit focusing on critical thinking and civil discourse within regional high schools. He received his JD from the University of Denver, and has served on several boards in the Western Wisconsin region.
