Rotary Knowledge

The answer will be given by each individual Rotarian at the weekly luncheon. Please, no sharing of the answer with others. Our goal is to have every Rotarian answer the question correctly by reading The Rotarian. You are on your honor. Don’t let us down!

One Rotary Summit

You may be asking yourself – What is One Rotary Summit?

It is training, coordinated by our Rotary Zone 28-29 team, and facilitated by our own District 6270.  It is focused on the relationships among Public Image, The Rotary Foundation / Humanitarian Service, and Membership.  The objective is to solidify Rotary’s 2018-19 annual theme of Be the Inspiration and the new Rotary Public Image Campaign: People of Action.  About ½ of the time will be devoted to idea sharing and action development in small groups. Our goal is that people get to know other Rotarians from our District and share ideas that they can take back to their clubs to do the work of Rotary in an even better way to implement the theme and campaign.

(Some of you who have been Rotarians for many years may remember the Rotary Fall Seminars.  District 6270 has replaced Fall Seminar with One Rotary Summit.)

Club Assembly on October 9
Whitnall Park Rotary Club will engage in its quarterly "Club Assembly" on Tuesday, October 9. "What's a Club Assembly?" is a frequently asked question. A "Club Assembly" provides an update to the local Rotary general membership. All Officers and Directors provide a quick overview of what has happened and is happening in their area(s) of responsibility. Also present will be our Students of the Month, Jessica Rohleder & Brad Kulinski, from Martin Lutheran H.S. This will be Martin Luther High School's first participation in WPRC's "Student of the Month" program.  Tuesday, October 9, will be a great opportunity to learn about WPRC's impact on local and global communities. Join us, as our guest, for lunch and program at 12:00 noon at Klemmer's Banquet Center (10401 W Oklahoma Ave, just 1.5 blocks west of the I-94 bypass).
Water and Sanitation - What Rotary IS Doing and CAN Do
Global and District grants for Rotary District 6270 have been very successful in the past because they have involved local Rotary Club members. Our District is embarking on some larger Global Grants for water and sanitation projects around the world. Clubs in District 6270 are joining together to leverage and maximize our efforts. Past District Governor Rick Debe wants to bring members up to date on current projects and present the new partnership opportunities available. He will be guest speaker at Whitnall Park Rotary Club on Tuesday, October 16.
 
Our goal in Rotary is to be “People of Action.”  His presentation will help you find your part in this future initiative. Join us for lunch and the program!
What's Happening in Greenfield?
WPRC enjoyed hearing "the latest" news in Greenfield from Mayor Michael Neitzke, guest speaker at Whitnall Park Rotary Club on Tuesday, October 2. Mayor Neitzke is an honorary member of WPRC and provided an update on the city in addition to addressing the topic of zip codes. The "zip codes" issue is quite interesting and historic in nature. Because the Greenfield zip codes were originally assigned to the City of Milwaukee, the City of Greenfield does not show up in many data bases, making digital searches extremely difficult. Thanks, Mayor Neitzke, for a most informative update!
 
Students of the Month September 2018
The WPRC "Student of the Month" program has begun for academic year 2018-2019. Present in September were Whitnall H.S. seniors Abbey Kenaston and Josiah Mispion. After visiting the club for 3-4 weeks and learning about Rotary, each student is given time to explain her/his academic and extracurricular endeavors, including plans for the future.
 
      
 
Congratulations, Abbey and Josiah!
Annual Visit of District Governor
Kola Alayande, Rotary District Governor for 2018-2019, visited Whitnall Park Rotary on Tuesday, September 18. He met with the Board of Directors at 11:15 a.m. and provided an inspiring briefing on Rotary District 6270 following our weekly luncheon at noon. He encouraged the club to find and emphasize the value of membership in recruiting new members and not be afraid to change. Present also for his presentation were ADG Jeannette Bell and PDG Nancy Rhodes.  "Be the Inspiration!"
Congo Helping Hands
 
Guest speaker at Whitnall Park Rotary Club on September 25 was Jeff Mullins, a Roman Catholic missionary with Congo Helping Hands. Congo Helping Hands is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) that works in the Democratic Republic of Congo in central Africa. It is a non-profit Christian organization that works in partnership to improve the quality of life through human development in health, education, agriculture, and microeconomics. Jeff has been working with this organization for the last 12 years. He is from West Allis and attends Mary Queen of Heaven RC parish. Jeff’s primary mission is the Mpandeli Centers in the Kasai, a group of schools for the physically and mentally handicapped. Recently they have been providing emergency food for the war-torn areas of the Kasai. Jeff just recently returned after providing food for over 5,000 people. His briefing was very informative and corrected many misperceptions about the Congo.
