Rotary meetings temporarily cancelled......

Posted by Tom Leuenberger on May 19, 2020

We have temporarily suspended our weekly Rotary meetings for the duration of Wisconsin's "Safer at Home" directive. Meetings are cancelled until further notice.

 

EXCITING NEWS! We recently discovered a reel to reel silent movie in a storage area which contains footage from the 1953 and 1954 Rotary Post-Proms. We had the movies remastered digitally and it is now available to watch on You Tube! Enjoy!

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. If you have any difficulty finding a speaker please attempt to reach out to other club members for assistance and let Claire Weslaski or Mark Patzke know what the program will be. 

Thanks,

Tom Leuenberger

Tough business climate........

Posted by Tom Leuenberger on May 19, 2020

Everything in the business world is difficult today, 

Advertising is down, Spending is down, Many stores remain closed, the economy is down, overall it is just plain difficult all over.............

When Things start to open up the Rotary Newsletter would like to run a series of promotions for our members who own local businesses and would like to have them highlighted in the Newsletter (how prestigious is that!!!). If you have a local business you would like to promote please send me what you would like to have published and we will create our own Rotary member promotions.

RAMAC to help Reopen..........

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Racine County & RAMAC Release ‘Rebound Racine County’ Report on Reopening Local Businesses
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Today, RAMAC, along with Racine County Executive Jonathan Delagrave, are releasing the final report of the Rebound Racine County Task Force, which studied how to reopen local businesses in the wake of COVID-19.
 
In anticipation of the eventual lifting of state restrictions and orders, the Rebound Racine County Task Force final report takes a sector-by-sector look at recovery needs. The report recommends cross-sector action steps to safely and efficiently re-open Racine County; proactive and clear communication; and greater awareness of and access to critical personal protective equipment (PPE), sanitation supplies, and financial support.
 
The task force included a diverse mix of representatives from businesses, nonprofits, government, faith community, education, and health care. Leaders across organizations participated in sector subcommittees to address the impact of COVID-19.
 
A copy of the full report can be found on the RAMAC website at ramac@racinechamber.com
 
Stay Safe,
Matt J. Montemurro
