Pancake Breakfast - Winter Fest 2017
 
Our club is working with the Lions Club to host a Pancake Breakfast on Feb 4 and 5 as part of the Winter Fest at Angell Park. A lot of you were able to sign up to work a shift (or 2) this morning at the meeting but I thought I'd catch those that weren't at the meeting.
 
The shifts will be 6-9am and 9am -12 both days. We would love to have a good showing of Rotarians to work along side the Lions Club.Also, you can bring a friend or family member with you. Please email me if you can help or if you have questions.
 
Please look for an article in The Star regarding the events of Winter Fest!
Looking for a Host Family
We are looking for a 3rd host family to host our Rotary Youth Exchange Student from France.  If you know of anyone living in the Sun Prairie School District area who would be an awesome host family, please contact us.  The host family would have our student for 4 months, between April - July 2017.
 
Hosting can be a very rewarding experience for your family.  Check out this video on what other host parents have to say about it:  CLICK HERE

Rotary Story
Stipend for President Elect -The RI Convention
The Club board of directors approved a new policy on Thursday, January 12th.  The motion to provide a stipend to the president elect, or board approved designee, to attend The Rotary International Convention annually in the amount up to $3,000 for International (outside the Continental USA) conventions or up to $2,000 for Domestic (inside the continental USA) conventions, which can be used for Travel, lodging, registration costs, meals, and other approved expenses.
 
This will be funded 100% from the club earnings and NOT from The Sun Prairie Rotary Foundation.
 
Attending the annual convention is a perfect way to experience Rotary’s internationality, exchange ideas with fellow members, and discover new avenues – and potential partners – for service.
 

TOP 5 REASONS TO ATTEND

1. Meet the most inspiring people in the world

Rotary members from more than 130 countries meet at the convention every year. This is your unique opportunity to connect with old friends, make new ones, and share stories about your club’s current and future projects.

2. Strengthen your club and your passion for Rotary

The general sessions and breakout sessions offer countless ways to help you get the most from your Rotary membership and make your club stronger. In the House of Friendship, you’ll find new ideas, learn best practices, and share project successes — it’s where the Rotary world comes together!

3. Join The Rotary Foundation celebration

The culmination of a yearlong celebration of the Foundation’s centennial takes place in the city where it all began. Join the festivities at The Rotary Foundation’s 100th Birthday Party. Attend a book signing and meet the author of “Doing Good in the World: The Inspiring Story of The Rotary Foundation’s First 100 Years.” See all the activities we have planned.

4. Explore the American South

Bask in the sun on the Atlantic and Gulf shores. Test your game at some of the world’s most celebrated golf courses. Experience the magic of Florida’s Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World.

Explore the natural wonders of the Appalachian Trail and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Step back in time at Colonial Williamsburg. Sample the sophisticated charms of New Orleans, Savannah, and Charleston. Learn more

5. Enjoy special tours and events offered by the Host Organization Committee

Watch for more information about special activities like Restaurant Night, Host Hospitality Night, and a screening of "Gone With the Wind" at the historic Fox Theatre. Visit the Host Organization Committee site to find more activities.

The Character Challenge
 
As we celebrate and observe the life of Martin Luther King Jr., ask yourself the question MLK Jr. argued was most important: What are you doing for others? Challenge yourself to live selflessly – we can serve others in countless ways beyond volunteering and donating.
