Lunch Mob 5.0 - Humberto Jarquim, President Ocotal Rotary
Please join us for an exciting Lunch Mob 5.0 from the West Wind for our September 2020 Noon meeting from 12-1 pm tomorrow 9/22/2020.
 
Tomorrow's presenter will be Humberto Jarquim, President of the Ocotal, Nicaragua Rotary Club. We are excited to have him present an update on the Ocotal Rotary Club and its current projects.
 
Thanks to our very own River Falls Rotarian, Dr. Tony Jilek, we have a long history with the Ocotal Rotary Club.  Since 1981, Tony has made over approximately 30 volunteer trips to Nicaragua and established a city-to-city partnership between Ocotal and River Falls. The partnership, which has included several Rotary Club projects provides funding opportunities for medical, educational, cultural, and sports programs to help the people of Ocotal and provide cross-cultural opportunities between Wisconsin and Nicaragua.

Autumn 2020 announcements
  • Volunteer opportunity: You can be a part of the River Falls Rotary flag crew! If a shift is full, consider contacting the volunteers to do a training "ride-a-long." Sign up here.
     
  • Watch for sign-ups for Veteran's Park cleanup!
     
  • What should I do with all my happy bucks! Please help us share some “happy”! Get your happy bucks jar ready to show off at our next ZOOM meeting! Each week, the River Falls Rotary Club spends a portion of our meeting time sharing personal aspects of one’s life during what we call “Happy Bucks.” During this time of uncertainty and social distancing, we encourage you to create a "Happy Bucks Container" and put your bucks in each week. Once the quarantine is over, bring it to our next "in person” meeting.
     
  • Feel free to continue to post on our Facebook page with your reason you are happy! During this time if we can't do anything else we can help improve our community's morale! Here's how:
    1) Post a photo/“selfie” of yourself holding a sign of what you are “happy” about.
    2) Share and encourage others to participate!  Include hash tags:
    #HappyBucks #PeopleofAction #RFRotary @Rotary5960
  • Even if we can't meet in person, we are looking for opportunities for our club to provide support during this time of need. Keep an eye on your email for updates from President JW Matheson. If you or others within our surrounding communities that you become aware of that could use a helping hand, please reach out.  We are in this together as Rotarians and are ready to provide support as needed!
     
  • Have an announcement or photo you want to appear in Tidings and our website? See a typo that needs correcting? Email us!
     
  • Now taking suggestions! Please suggest a speaker for a future Rotary meeting.

Members received an update from the River Falls High School Sunshine fund. Created in 2016, the River Falls Sunshine Fund is a student-originated & student lead non-profit organization that originated to help a family going through a difficult time.
