President's Message

Last week (August 26th) Nate Fisher of Williams Dedicated highlighted the transportation industry and the impact of COVID on transporting goods since 2020.  Williams Dedicated provides Transportation, Maintenance, and Leasing services for companies that demand the best. They hire the most dedicated drivers and staff in the industry to ensure that their clients have an experience that exceeds what the transportation industry has offered them in the past. 
 
This week (September 2nd) Rob Love of the Michigan City Area Schools will talk about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
 
We are meeting at Patrick Grille and check-in begins at 11:45 AM

Art in Eau Claire Wisconsin
In October, about a dozen Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Eau Claire Morning, Wisconsin, along with some of their family members, used a product called Invisible Spray to stencil temporary, water-activated artwork on sidewalks throughout the city. Rainworks, manufacturer of the hydrophobic, nontoxic liquid spray, donated the product, which allows users to create designs that only appear when the sidewalks get wet. At a cost of about $130, 16 ounces can cover up to 110 square feet. “We thought in the difficult times of the pandemic, we could bring smiles to our community” and inspire other organizations to do the same, says Sarah Stackhouse, a co-president of the club. A “thank you” below an image of a firefighter’s hat was traced outside a fire station, while a drawing at the entrance to a theater featured musical notes and suggested “singing in the rain.”
African region marks one year since being certified wild polio-free
 
Together, we’ve made tremendous progress in the fight to end polio. In August 2020, the World Health Organization’s African region was certified free of wild poliovirus — an incredible milestone that was made possible by the leadership, dedication, and support of countless Rotary members and health workers, our partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), and African region leaders.

The eradication of wild polio in the African region shows that total wild polio eradication is possible. Learn more about this historic achievement and Rotary’s commitment to keeping Africa free of wild poliovirus and ending polio worldwide.
