Hello, Valley View Rotarians! Hope you are all having a great pre-holiday weekend. Reminder: NO MEETING this week, due to Famous Dave's being unable to accommodate us. Enjoy a Thanksgiving week bye! (Nominating committee will meet via Zoom at 7:30 a.m... if you have an email invitation from Keli, you're in on the meeting.)
 
A few things:
  • The sign up went out for our Valley View Rotary Holiday Party, Wednesday, Dec. 15, at the La Crosse Country Club! Thank you to our fab Social Committee for putting together this special event. Cocktails are at 5 p.m., dinner at 6:15 p.m., games to follow. Remember your wrapped White Elephant gift! Cost is $30 per person Please sign up directly via the link or by emailing me at kvthomson@yahoo.com or Steph Fraase at stephdesigns2@gmail.com. Please let us know which entree you would prefer: sirloin with mashed potatoes, vegetable and bearnaise sauce; salmon with fingerling potatoes, asparagus and mustard dill creme fraiche; cheese tortellini with basil pesto alfredo sauce. There will be two choices for dessert: chocolate hazelnut crepes or berry mouse. 
  • Next Sunday, Nov. 28, is our night to staff Rotary Lights! Thank you for volunteering and see you there... here is the link in case you have forgotten what you signed up for. :)
  • Although we do not have a meeting this week, there is a great opportunity through La Crosse Rotary-After Hours to Zoom in for a special speaker, Razia Jan. The meeting is on Tuesday, Nov. 23, at 6:30 p.m. Razia will discuss a local project and give a general update on Afghanistan.

Donating the number of years at your birthday to the Rotary Foundation for Polio has become a club tradition.   Just log in to My Rotary and click on donate.   The participation has been truly awesome and given the average age of our club, this is a significant amount of money!
