Backyard Bee Keeping - Stasia Sliwinski-Seubert

Stasia Sliwinski-Seubert from Backyard Bee Keeping was our presenter this morning. Stasia currently maintains five bee hives in her backyard - two that survived this past winter, and three from swarms that she was able to catch this spring. A few fun facts about bees that we learned this morning:

There can be up to 30,000 bees in a bee hive
All worker bees are female and have a 6 week lifespan. Male bees are called drones.
Swarming happens when bees outgrow their hive. Stasia caught three swarms earlier this year, with as many as 3,000 bees in each swarm.

Even if you are not a beekeeper, we can all do our part to help the bee population. Planting flowers where the center of the flower is easily accessible to bees is the easiest way to help bees thrive.

New Community Concept for Marshfield - Kathleen Meyer

Kathleen Meyer from ENC (Everyone Needs a Community), Inc. joined us to present an update on a new community concept for Marshfield. Everyone Needs A Community is a 501c3 nonprofit that is working to build a community that contains affordable rental housing and a community center. They're working to make adjacent or nearby owner controlled housing available in the community. Check out the rest of her slide deck here.

Value Based Maternity - A New World of Healthcare

Wildflower's SaaS platform launched with a mobile app in 2012, that has helped women have healthy babies, digitally guiding them through their pregnancy journey, identifying risk, and connecting them with personalized care. Over time, we added to our technology to support the evolving health journey for families across all life stages, coordinating the needs of moms, dads, kids and aging parents all in one digital application.

Today, we support the entire ecosystem - the provider, the payer, the family - with a clinically-integrated solution that is purpose-built to advance more effective, efficient care, as well as the payment models that fuel it. In doing so, we are providing the digital solution, care advocacy that supports patients and value alignment between provider and payor groups to improve clinical outcomes while reducing cost of care.

Denali Volkman - The RYLA Experience

Denali Volkman was one of the students from the Marshfield area who attended the 2021 Virtual RYLA. She joined Sunrise Rotary to share of her experience at the event this year including what she was expecting and how it turned out to be more that she'd anticipated. RYLA, which stands for Rotary Youth Leadership Awards and is Rotary's youth leadership camp is typically held at Camp Upham Woods in the Wisconsin Dells. The District 6250 team that runs the camp made the decision to do a virtual event this year and it was a great event that will help propel us forward to the next in person camp (hopefully in 2021). Thank you Denali for joining Sunrise Rotary this morning, we're excited and hopeful to see what you do as one of our future leaders!

Marshfield Sunrise Rotary Helps Beautify South Peach Ave.

The Marshfield Sunrise Rotary Club assisted the City of Marshfield in planting approximately 28 bare root trees on South Peach Avenue near the Marshfield Fairgrounds.

“Our club has always been an active community partner spending time on projects to help beautify our community and support the environment,” said Club President Pat Gall. “This is a great opportunity for us to be active participants in the community like we always have and in a safe way,” he said. “We’ve also cared for and assisted in enhancing spaces like Braem Park, a stretch of Highway 10 through Adopt-A-Highway, greenspaces along the Veterans Parkway corridor, and other improvements at Marshfield Fairgrounds Park and the UWSP at Marshfield Arboretum.” he added.

One of Rotary International’s 7 areas of focus is “Supporting the Environment” as many clubs and specific Rotary Action Groups around the world dedicate millions of volunteer hours every year to projects and causes that promote environmental sustainability.
