The Elm Brook Rotary Club has been a supporter of the Potawatomi Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America for several years. Several members of our Club are also active volunteers with the Boy Scout Council based in Waukesha. Other Rotarians are parents of Scouts.
As part of its mission of helping young people become active, contributing members of society, Scouting (like Rotary) emphasizes public service. Teaching those lessons in citizenship and self-reliance requires programs that are sustainable and attractive to youth who have many options for spending their time.
You can support Scouting in our community by purchasing items you might buy anyway this fall for personal use, family presents and even gifts for business customers.
We are accepting orders for wreaths and other holiday greenery, all sorts of popcorn products and kringle pastries along with Beres Brothers coffees. Place your orders with Harry Farchmin hjfarchmin@earthlink.net and send your checks made out to "PACBSA" to Harry at 12515 Zinke Drive, Brookfield, WI 53005.
We will deliver the products to you the week of November 8. Placing orders is easy and you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you are helping young people and our community.
