Sep. 01, 2020 - Oct. 17, 2020
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. Harry Farchmin and Tom Curl |

Mike Gousha is a distinguished fellow in law and public policy at Marquette University Law School and Lynn Sprangers is an award-winning journalist who served in executive capacities in sports, higher education and the performing arts. They are producers of a new documentary film for PBS, America’s Socialist Experiment, which looks at the nearly half century when socialists led Milwaukee, including three mayors and the first socialist congressman. The film looks at these “sewer socialists” who fought for clean drinking water and public health programs, vowing to clean up the city. The film has been airing locally and nationally on PBS stations and Mike and Lynn will offer insights into what they learned while filming this unique 20th Century political drama that played out in Milwaukee.

Niagara Escarpment
Dec. 11, 2020
You’ve seen the scenic rock formations that make High Cliff State Park and other natural areas in Wisconsin special. But did you know that these rock ledges belong to a 1,000+ mile-long international geologic feature that connects Eastern Wisconsin with the grandly iconic Niagara Falls? This is the Niagara Escarpment—also known as The Ledge—a globally unique feature that claims its beginnings in Wisconsin and connects us regionally and internationally to fascinating history, culture, and ecology, creating opportunities for tourism and learning. Over 400 million years in the making, it’s a landscape feature like no other. The Niagara Escarpment forms a connecting “Great Arc” that extends through the tip of Door County and into Upper Michigan; across Ontario, Canada; and cascades down Niagara Falls, ending farther east in New York State. |
