Greetings fellow Rotarians,

On April 18, 2019 7:00 AM

Dr. Kris Young will be Speaking to us about her November 2108 RFE & Polio immunization trip.

Kris Young is a BBRC Club Member, Past Club President and Rotary District 6440 Assistant Governor. Kris is also a retired Doctor of Internal Medicine.

We enjoyed a great organ concert with 141 guests at the San Filippo Estate last Saturday. This included the participation of 3 Interact students who did a fine job of handing out our Rotary information to the guests and selling raffle tickets. Might seem like the grand winner was an inside job.

Thank you also for the Club members who provided on site assistance including Maria, Eric and Suzanne, plus Chrissie Mena, President of the Noon Club. Thank you all. Requests are coming in for a repeat - something to ponder.

Referencing RI President-Elect Mark Maloney's address to the Rotary world in January, he is challenging all Rotarians and Rotary clubs to innovate, to create new membership models and pathways to form new Rotary clubs, and to attract community-minded young professionals, meeting them right where they're at in life.

Models that have been created include:

E-clubs, Rotaract clubs with dual membership and Satellite clubs meeting at a time and place of their choosing, frequency being 1-2x /month at the end of the workday.

The Board has reviewed this message and related information and has requested that our Bylaws be updated to include these membership options.

It is in everyone's best interest to become more knowledgeable about this challenge, this call to action and the innovative options in expanding membership.

We will need to be there by 9AM on that Saturday to set up. Additionally, help is needed the prior Thursday evening at 5:30 to assemble kites at the pavilion at Citizens Park. Come out, be a part of the process, be proud of your Club and this great project. BE THERE!

If you missed the opportunity April 1st at Prairie Middle School to interact with our youth regarding polio that included our iron lung exhibit, please join us at the Barrington High School on May 14th and /or 15th.

Guest Speaker on April 11th

Dan Madigan Guest Speaker

Dan Madigan, a BBRC member, presented his “Classification Talk,” sharing his background, the Rotary legacies in his family, and emphasizing his love of family. Dan went to Northern Illinois University and graduated from John Marshall Law School, determined to be a lawyer with the support of mentors and his favorite Greeks, Plato and Socrates. The name “Madigan” was sometimes helpful in Cook County!

Dan’s practice is Lake Cook Legal Solutions, LLC in Deer Park, specializing in real estate, estate planning, divorce, family practice and representation. Recently his efforts in support of the bail grant alternatives were especially rewarding. He has four children, three boys and a “princess” girl, and, oh, the largest dog on earth, 200 lb. Plato. He is devoted to spending time involved in the kids’ sports, skiing and generally enjoying what Colorado has to offer
