Program – Online Meeting Test Run
 
Our very first online meeting was a big success; thanks everyone for participating! The next online meeting will be this Wednesday at noon. If you would like to attend, but did not receive the invitation, please email Chad at crobinson@elkhorn.lib.wi.us
 
Stir It Up Beneficiaries
 
We are again asking for submissions for Beneficiaries for our Stir It Up event in November 2020. Thus far we have received nominations for:
 
  1. Walworth County Food Pantry
  2. Elkhorn Area School District Education Foundation 
  3. United Way of Walworth County
  4. Inspiration Ministries
  5. Agape House
  6. Twin Lakes Homeless Shelter

Here are the parameters for this year’s submissions:
 
1. We will nominate 3 organizations to be our at-large beneficiaries. Any non-profit organization in Walworth County is eligible. The Elkhorn School Music program will again be a 4th beneficiary. 
 
2. The 3 organizations awarded last year in 2019 will not be eligible this year. 
 
There are a ton of great organizations in our community that we haven't donated to recently or ever, and we would like to spread our Rotary funds around to have an effect on more groups and more people. So this year, Jordan would like to gather submissions and in addition, give an opportunity for the nominator to speak 2 minutes on why they believe that organization would make a great beneficiary. 
 
Similar to last year, we will ask for a blurb on the organization describing what they are about for anyone unable to attend the meeting next Wednesday, and then we will email out a Survey Monkey to the club to determine the top 3 vote getters. 
 
You can submit your nominations to either Jordan or Bryan at:

Distinguished Service Award
We will also be asking the club for nominations for the Distinguished Service Award --- this is an award that Elkhorn Rotary annually gives out to a member of the community that has gone above and beyond in service. For example, last year’s winner was Mike Shor of Kwik Stix Lacrosse, Lakeland Little Learners, and others for his significant contributions to the Elkhorn community over the years.
