Meet Club President...Mitch Portugal

 

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Northbrook!
It is my honor to have the opportunity to serve as President of the Northbrook Rotary Club. Four years ago I chose to join after attending a few meetings and I’ve never looked back.  Our club shares an interest in giving back to our community and our world, and I am committed to the Rotary cause and to making a difference.
 
One of the key strengths of Rotary is that we will always be there to deliver service to our community. The Rotary 2022-23 theme is “Imagine Rotary.”  This motto was established by Rotary International’s first woman President, Jennifer E. Jones. She believes, and I truly believe as well, that if we all “Dream Big,” we will turn our Dreams into reality!  
 
Imagine where our Rotary Club can be next year!
 1-Imagine Rotary by Supporting, strengthening and growing membership of our Northbrook Rotary Club so more people can know the fulfillment of helping others in a tangible way.
 2-Imagine Rotary by -Increasing our humanitarian service, through volunteerism and grant support.
 3-Imagine Rotary by- Enhancing our public image and awareness, so more people choose to partner with us to create positive change.  
 
We are Rotarians “Of Action”   “Just Imagine” what we can accomplish in 2022-23. 
If you’d like to learn more about the work we do, please come join us for lunch!  We are a light-hearted group with a strong desire to help those less fortunate and make the world a better place. We meet Tuesdays at Noon at Allgauer’s in the Hilton Chicago, located in Northbrook. Send me an email to arrange a visit.
 
Yours in Rotary Service,
 
Mitch Portugal

ESRAG September 28th Global Event

City Urban Imaging by Dr. Monika Hotzl

Our next meeting for ESRAG Projects Division Seminars is Wednesday, September 28, 2022 – 10 AM CDT
(1:00pm UTC 3:00 pm CEST, Germany, 10:00 am CDT Evanston)
 
Topic: 15-minute City Urban Imaging
 
Storyline: The 15-minute-city is an urbanistic model that stands for a human-centric and environmentally sustainable future for cities. The core of the concept is that cities should be designed, or re-designed, in a way that every resident can reach the daily needs within the distance of a 15-minute walk or bike-ride.
 
Bios:  Dr. Hotzl has extensive experience in municipal planning and architecture from the City of Augsberg, Germany.  Since 2021, Monika has been employed as a free architect, with her focus on public buildings (kindergarten and schools, administration buildings): conversion, sustainable upgrade, remodeling and refurbishments.  In 2022, she registered as an energy efficiency consultant.
 
Date and Time:  Wednesday Sept. 28, 2022, 1:00pm UTC (3:00 pm CEST, Germany)
 
 
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
