Looking for a chance to WIN tickets to a Green Bay home game during the 2019 season - and help needy organizations and causes at the same time? Club President Mike Schmeling is urging everyone to do their part in buying and selling Packer raffle tickets during our 5th Annual Green Bay Packer Raffle Ticket Fundraiser from now through August 30! Donations will go to the programs and organizations we support in Brookfield, Elm Grove, and around the world!
The Packer season is fast approaching, and this is a great way for our club to raise additional funds that will benefit the programs and organizations we contribute to (including Capitol West Academy, Food Pantry of Waukesha County, Literary Services of Wisconsin, The Women's Center, and more)! Information and tickets will be available at our Friday morning meetings throughout August AND at the Brookfield Farmers' Market on Saturday's throughout August.
Selling tickets is easy!
See the attached information for sharing with your friends, family, neighbors, and business associates OR help out and volunteer at one of the Saturday's in August at the Brookfield Farmers' Market!
Sell as many as you can!
Tickets are $10 each with 3 tickets for $25, 10 tickets for $50, and 25 tickets for $100. Winners will be drawn at our meeting on August 30, with one winner (or 2 tickets) for each of the eight home games this season. Winners will be notified and posted online at our website.
Our goal is to raise $5,000 after costs; so let’s all GO FOR THE GREEN & GOLD this summer! Watch for updates at our upcoming meetings. If you have any questions, please contact Steve Stocker (sstocker@affirmagency.com).
Year 3 of Elmbrook Rotary Club's "Business Person of the Year" award was launched on August 5 with press releases to a number of local print and digital media as well as an "e-blast" to hundreds of Brookfield and Elm Grove businesses.
This award is a way for ERC to recognize individuals in our community who are service-minded and doing outstanding work. Additionally, this award is a means of making the public aware of ERC and its contributions to the local, regional, national, and international communities.
Elmbrook Rotary Club is a group of professionals and community leaders (movers & shakers) who are in an ideal position to sponsor/lead this event. ERC members are not eligible for this award; however, anyone is encouraged to nominate a candidate who you personally know would be "worthy" of this award. Last year's winner, Mark Mirsberger, CEO of Dana Investment Advisors, was nominated by Noaman Sharief.
The deadline for receipt of nominations is October 5, and the winner will be honored at the ERC meeting on Friday, October 25. For more program information and details on making a nomination, please visit:
Did you know that each month has its own unique emphasis within Rotary International?
It's true, and August every year emphasizes "Membership and New Club Development." There are a number of things that you can do to help "grow" Rotary and become more educated about Rotary in general. Following are three easy ones.
1. If you have a Facebook account, "frame" your profile photo and show that you are a Proud Member of Rotary.
2. Learn more about Rotary by making use of Rotary Basics. The online course covers all things Rotary in an interactive, multimedia format. The course was designed for new members, but it’s also a good refresher for long-time members who want to test their Rotary knowledge. Sign-in is required.
3. Finally, Rotary has a series of membership courses available in the "Learning Center" — from managing "Online Membership Leads" to "Building a Diverse Club." Each course includes self-guided learning modules that let you explore real-life scenarios you might experience in our club. You can find all these resources and more at rotary.org/membership. Some of these require a sign-in; others do not. If you have not already established an account at www.rotary.org, do so today. If you need assistance, contact any of the ERC leaders.
Dates are June 6-10, 2020. It is NOT too early to register! In fact, Rotary International advises registering as soon as possible to ensure a place. They anticipate having to close registration prior to the December 15th deadline for early registration. Register at riconvention.org.

A new Rotary year began on July 1. The Rotary International Presidential Theme for 2019-2020 is "Rotary Connects the World."
Mark Daniel Maloney (Rotary Club of Decatur, Alabama, USA) is RI President for 2019-2020 and believes that connection is at the heart of the Rotary experience. “(Rotary) allows us to connect with each other, in deep and meaningful ways, across our differences,” Maloney says. “It connects us to people we would never otherwise have met, who are more like us than we ever could have known. It connects us to our communities, to professional opportunities, and to the people who need our help.”
Rotarians in RI District 3350 (Thailand) have produced an interesting song & video that connects the 2019-2020 Presidential Theme with the work and impact of Rotary worldwide. Click here or on the image below to view and hear the production. It is only 3 min. 29 sec. in length.
When we say "WE RISE & SHINE” to others, it means:
WE RISE to meet early every Friday.
WE RISE to the occasion by helping those in need.
WE RISE to make a difference in our community and the world.
WE SHINE by living the Rotary 4-way Test.
WE SHINE by staying positive and encouraging others.
WE SHINE by lighting the way for service above self in Brookfield, Elm Grove, and beyond.
The tagline appears on our Coffee Mugs, on our Web site, on club emails, and on other communications going out. Try using the tagline the next time you’re talking to someone about Elmbrook Rotary or Rotary in general. In fact, consider purchasing an Elmbrook Rotary Coffee Mug for $7.
