Doctor told my parents I had 3 days to live....they got that part wrong.”

OUR FEB 18TH GUEST SPEAKER - MONICA IRWIN
OUR FEB 18TH GUEST SPEAKER - MONICA IRWIN
Speaker Presentation:  Monica Irwin, Creator of Veggie Buds Club; Educator and Blogger
 
Monica introduced herself and offered a bit about her background in biology, local farming and education.  She has leveraged her varied experiences by creating an online business that encourages the introduction of vegetables and healthy eating to youngsters between the ages of 3-6 years old.  Her Veggie Buds Club kits are distributed nationwide and offer engaging activities that educate the young ones, while presenting healthy, veggie-inclusive recipes to moms and dads.  She has expanded through social media and speaking engagements in her local Minnesota area.
 
This evening, with the assistance of two of her children, she demonstrated two simple recipes, Orzo Stuffed Roasted Red Peppers and Beet/ Oatmeal/ Chocolate Chip Cookies.
 
Forwarded in advance of this evening's event was a recipe book including favorite BBRC member recipes.

Steve and Captain Baobob!
 
Why did you join Rotary?
 
One of my best friends, a fraternity brother, has been a member of Rotary in Oxnard, California, for over 30 years.  He has served as President, District Governor, and traveled internationally with the club. I have been a member of several charitable organizations around the Chicago area since I retired, but I wanted an organization that was locally based where I could focus my time and philanthropy.  It was easy for my friend to convince me that the local Rotary club was the answer.
 
What experiences/ projects/ events have you most enjoyed and/or gained the most from your participation?
 
While COVID has put a crimp into the ability to volunteer my time, I have enjoyed chances to do that such as the highway cleanup and planting of the pollinator garden.  I look forward to more such opportunities in the near future, hopefully.  I have also enjoyed helping in the PR, marketing and fundraising efforts of the Club.
 
What three things do you enjoy doing in your "free" time?
 
Janet and I are inveterate travelers, both domestically and internationally, and we look forward to resuming that.  We are also looking forward to continuing our quest to visit all 62 national parks.  We have been stuck at 43 since COVID descended upon us. Also enjoy cooking and gardening.  But most of all, spending time with family, especially grandchildren!

WEEK 33 FOUNDATION MINUTE
 
 
 
WEEK 33 FOUNDATION MINUTE – PARTNERING FOR PEACE
 
The Peace Corps and Rotary have a partnership agreement that started in 2015, inspired by a group of Returning Peace Corps Volunteers. The heart of the agreement is that Peace Corps and Rotary have almost identical focuses. Partnering for Peace is committed to developing that partnership agreement at the grass roots level. The organization’s vision is to help Rotarians, current international service volunteers and returned international service volunteers from various countries, to work together on projects that are consistent with the goals of both Rotary and such organizations. Through this collaboration, former Peace Corps volunteers, through Rotary clubs, can continue their international humanitarian service in the local villages and towns where they served.
 
Partnering for Peace, by using our connections, and working through our clubs, hopes to identify former Peace Corps volunteers and their families and the countries where they served. This collaboration will nurture local projects in the volunteer’s former communities, working with the local Rotary Club. These networking activities between Peace Corps families in the US and Rotary clubs, and the offshore Rotary clubs has already resulted in projects benefiting the offshore communities.
