Rotary Christmas Party on November 30th at RCC

The 2017 Rotary Christmas Party will be on November 30th at RCC. This year, in celebration of the 100 year anniversary of Rotary in Racine, we are going to try and recreate the menu, entertainment and ambiance of the 1st Racine Rotary Christmas party in 1917. Steve Donovan and Devon Borst along with the entire 100 Year Anniversary Committee working with RCC's John Schneider are striving to try and design a menu that will faithfully replicate a holiday dinner circa 1917 in Racine.

Your input on the menu would be much appreciated. At present selections may include ; Grilled Mutton Chops, Potted Shrimp, Salmon Mayonnaise, Smoked Sardines, Rounds of Spiced Beef, Veal Pie, Corned Ox Tongue, Soused Herrings, Braised Duckling, Hindquarter of Lamb, Boiled Capon, and Bordelaise Potatoes. Many more possibilities exist and we have not even discussed dessert yet. Please give your input!!

Rotarians, please post things to these sites, and when doing so to "hash tag" #RACINEROTARY. This will connect all of our posts to each other.

If you have speaker duty please let me know two weeks in advance who your speaker is or what your program is so I can get the info to the newsletter.

Hurricane Relief update

Posted by Tom Leuenberger on Oct 11, 2017

Rotary Clubs members from in and around Bonita Springs, Florida are volunteering to help the unfortunate folks that sustained significant damage from floods caused by Hurricane Irma last month. A couple of Racine Founders members and a former club member showed up to lend a hand too. Dan White, Don Brownell and Bill Seidel represented the Racine Founders as they cleared out a damaged home in Bonita Springs. Many of the residents in this area lost most of their possessions as flood waters from heavy rains in the weeks preceding the hurricane and then Hurricane Irma itself furthered the damage and delivered the final blow.

If you would like to contribute the cause to help the Rotary Clubs of SWFL provide some relief, follow the link Rotarystrong.org. Everything will help those in need get their lives back to being somewhat manageable. It will take many months to get back to “normal”.
