Rotary Coffee Social!

Uptown Coffee was the site of the 5th Thursday Social Hour for our Rotary club last week!

In months with five Thursdays, in lieu of a regular meeting the last week of the month Marshfield Rotary has been meeting at Uptown Coffee for morning coffee & casual conversation. Many thanks to the organizers and attendees -- it is always a fun time! For those who were not able to attend, we hope you can join us next time!

Community Baby Shower

Did you know that:

1 in 3 families in Wood County are considered at or near the poverty level
Average diapering costs have increased 20% in the last 2 years
State and federal assistance does not help with diaper and other basic baby needs

Join Rotary sponsored Leadership Marshfield participant Sarah Chy & her team as they work to help families in need by holding a Community Baby Shower! The team will be collecting basic baby items and distributing them to 6 area agencies that provide direct services to families. The collection drive will be taking place from April 3rd through the 14th. Items being collected include diapers, wipes, pull-ups, bottles, sippy cups, gender-neutral onesies & sleepers as well as some larger items like car seats & playpens. There are 14 collection locations around town including the Marshfield Area United Way office at 612 W Blodgett St.

Rotarians Volunteer at the Cultural Fair

On Saturday, several Rotarains volunteered to distribute Rotary Passports to children attending the Marshfield Cultural Fair.

Rotary has a history of participating in this wonderful community event and it was great to see the Cultural Fair back in-person. This event is a great way to promote not only Rotary's global mission, but also our local presence in the community.

Volunteers included: Laura Kostock-Ganshirt, Jane Wagner, Laurel Peterson, Mandy Sondelski, Tara Mannigel and Becky Huebner-Leau. A special thank you to Jackie Zoellner for arranging the event and Darla Leick for set-up. It was an enjoyable combination of service, entertainment and delicious food throughout the day!

Winter Wonderland Sees Funding Bump!

The Marshfield Rotary Foundation which acts as a fiscal agent for Rotary Winter Wonderland holds a Charitable Money Market account at Forward Bank which pays out an annual contribution.

Over the past 10 years the Foundation has usually received between $400-700 each year. This year, this cash donation has increased to $1,499.05! Being part of this program at Forward Bank is another way we are adding money to the Winter Wonderland project which supports over 30 area food banks and programs that address food insecurity in Central Wisconsin.
