Happy New Week Valley View Rotary family and friends!!!
Thank you to all who attended our off-site meeting last week at Hy-Vee. Please let your Club Service or Board Member friends know of other locations you would like to visit as a Club!
Please join us this Wednesday at the Onalaska Y where we will learn more about the Hearts to Schools program from fellow Rotarian Lee Rasch.
It is an exciting era to be part of Valley View Rotary! If you attended last week, you heard a first reading for our next THREE new members, bringing us towards 9 new members since July 1st.

December Blood drive: Multiple ways you can help
The next Valley View Rotary Red Cross Blood Drive runs from noon-5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 28, at Stoney Creek Inn.
Scott Friell, Donor Recruitment Representative for the La Crosse American Red Cross, says demand for blood continues high — more donors are needed. All donors will receive a limited-edition Red Cross Long-Sleeved T-Shirt while supplies last.
As a Valley View Rotarian, you can help by:
• Helping during the drive by working from noon-2:30 or 2:30-5 — we need four volunteers; sign up with bquarberg@gmail.com.
• Encouraging others to donate — Share the flyer at work and/or on your social media page (or share from the Valley View Rotary Facebook page.)
