District Governor Visit - How much do you know about Rotary?
In addition to hosting an abbreviated but spirited and informative game of Rotary Jeopardy, District Governor Patricia McCleese told us about District 5960's focus on membership and focus on action.  She mentioned the recent Conference of Clubs, noting that it was moved to the fall to allow for the spring peace initiative.

Doing Good in the World Through the Rotary Foundation
Barbara Tischart from Stillwater Sunrise Rotary spoke to the club from her perspective as a member of the District 5960 Foundation Development team.  Her first Foundation example was to point to World Polio Day and the major impact Rotary and its partners have had.  The maps she shared showed how polio went from endemic in 1988 to isolated in a few countries. Ms. Tischart reminded us that Rotary’s projects deal with maternal and child health, conflict prevention, water, sanitation and hygiene, education and literacy, community economic development, and the environment. And she noted the increased emphasis on sustainability.

Notice from the Long-Range Planning Department:  There will not be a regular Rotary meeting on Tuesday March 5th.  We are encouraging all who are interested to attend the State of the City breakfast at Tattersall, starting at 7:30 (you can even sleep in a little, unless you're Scot Simpson!).
 
We have open dates for speakers:  As of now, we have one open (morning) speaker slot in February and one in March.  After that, the schedule gets pretty open.  Please contact Rick W, Linda, JW, or Tom with suggestions and contact information. 
Field Trip to CVTC Campus
Rotary members toured the Chippewa Valley Technical College (CVTC) in River Falls. The main campus for CVTC is in Eau Claire. CVTC has 110 programs including 36 granting certificates, as well as 16 apprenticeships: many but not all are offered in River Falls. Our guide was Minda Matthys, whose job title is College Navigator. We started the tour in the main building, but the tour also included their most recent acquisition, the former Moody’s business nearby.
 
As our fifth Tuesday service, Rotary donated about 370 food items to the student food pantry so that students can grab a snack as they are on their way to class, on a break, or heading home after a day of learning.
