Last Weeks Meeting

Last week Nanette Sowa told us of her extensive travel plans during her Member Moment, we sang our traditional birthday song to Bill, Nanette and Sita, and Pete stumped us with space travel trivia during Fun NFrolics.
 
Our speakers were Sarah Heimsoth, Youth Services Manager from Indian Trails Library, and Amy Breiler, Director of Teaching and Learning for Literacy from CCSD21 who told us about how extremely pleased they were with the Literacy Nights held at the library.  Family Literacy Nights bring together students, parents, and educators for an evening of storytelling, activities and shared learning. These events not only foster a love for reading but also strengthen family bonds and build a supportive community around our young learners.  The events brought many families into the library who had never been there, many new library cards were issued, and our donations of books provided each student with a book of their own choosing that they could keep.  Ryann Uden, Deputy Director at the library, also attended our meeting.  Thank you all for such wonderful programs you offer our community!
 
Spring Fling was a Success
Our club and the Village's Rick Kahen Commission for Residents with Disabilities sponsored a Spring Fling event on Saturday that was a great success.  Both the 40 participants and the volunteers had a fun time.
 
Summary of our club's service trip in Guatemala
From Dane:
 
BG Rotary Guatemala Service Trip - Day 7. Yesterday we finished everything we could at Asociacion Aktenamit and bid adieu to our amigos. It’s always hard to say goodbye as we build so many relationships with these amazing students and the staff at the school.  When I started coming on this trip almost a decade ago, there were just over 400 students at Ak’Tenamit. Now there are more than 1,000 students. Because of the great work of the Board, Steve Dudenhoefer and our Rotary club to build essential infrastructure, opportunities continue to expand for indigenous Guatemalans.
While the building isn’t done, our work here is done…for now. Students and staff will continue our work, finishing the roofing, hanging doors and finishing siding for the interior walls. Next year we will return to build another dormitory for the girls’ campus, allowing the school to continue its mission to empower young women to break the cycle of generational poverty that exists in eastern Guatemala.
