CLUB MEMBERS, CHECK BELOW TO VIEW WHEN ITS YOUR TURN TO PROVIDE THE SPEAKER AND FUN & FROLIC
Guest Speaker Maria Ullmann, Strategic Partnerships Manager
Maria Ullmann expertise within the water sector, ranges from working in China, in the Peace Corps, and currently working with a project called Box of Rain, a company focused on providing access to safe, clean drinking water to those affected by major disasters.
Box of Rain is a bulk water company dedicated to supporting the efforts of corporations, individuals, philanthropic groups, and public sector agencies seeking an opportunity to provide safe drinking water to communities affected by natural disasters and emergency situations in the U.S.
Established in 2019 by W.S. Darley & Co and Mazarine Ventures, Box of Rain Water is a business that reflects both founding companies' frustration with incumbent emergency water solutions. They recognize that there are many brands that sincerely want to help in natural disasters or humanitarian situations; however, somehow buying 10 pallets of plastic water bottles just doesn't feel like the right solution. They asked themselves, is there a more sustainable way? And furthermore, is there a way that allows a company's marketing budget to support these altruistic efforts.
They offer 2 types of boxes:
Standard: Immediately deployable boxes of premium drinking water (as seen on the left) that simply has the Box of Rain logo.
Customized: Immediately deployable boxes of premium drinking water with your brand's logo and brand messaging, prominently displayed the box.
Some key attributes:
With the Box of Rain platform, brands from virtually any industry can send clean water to those in need,
Your social impact goals are met by delivering safe water to those most in need.
Your brand can make a meaningful impact on families and communities most in need of safe water.
Water is a universal cause that resonates with employees, shareholders, and other important stakeholders.
Water is sustainably sourced, certified, and safe for a minimum of 3 years. The water is purified by reverse osmosis, micron filtration, carbon filtration and protected by ozonation.
The box is made of 100% recycled cardboard and offers practical uses after the water is consumed. The plastic bag is recyclable after consumption.
As of Q12020, Box of Rain can only serve North American emergencies.

Hoeflich joined the Skokie Fire Department in 1986. “He has served the Village with distinction,” said Village Manager John Lockerby. During this 33-year tenure with the Village, Hoeflich has progressed through the ranks of Lieutenant and Captain. Prior to serving as Interim Chief, he served for ten years as the Training Officer for the Skokie Fire Department and also as a Battalion Chief. Hoeflich and his wife Christine are excited about entering this new chapter of their lives and are in the process of looking for a residence in Skokie. “During the past year while serving as Interim Fire Chief, Jeff has shown outstanding leadership,” said Lockerby. “His dedication to best practices in public safety will benefit the community as he leads an outstanding team of firefighters in protecting the Village each and every day."

The Rotary Club of Skokie Valley has partnered with the Rotary Club of Antioch collecting crayons for schools in Puerto Rico devastated by hurricanes. In a very short time, the Skokie members collected 3,000 new and used crayons, the equivalent of 125 boxes of 24 crayons each. Diane Krier-Morrow is Skokie Valley Club Chair of International Service. Thanks to Rotary District 6440 Chair of International Service, Jim Wales who circulated this project to the district international service chairs.
