Merry Christmas Valley View Rotary family and friends!!!
May the Holidays find you smiling wide and grateful for all that you hold and have you looking forward to all the good we will accomplish together in the New Year!!!
Thank you to all who attended our meeting last week at the Onalaska YMCA to learn more about the Hearts to Schools program from fellow Rotarian Lee Rasch.
Also thank you to all who braved the cold weather and joined us at Rotary Lights for our work night! It was pure joy to greet and thank each visitor and all of the gifts they brought to donate!
There is no meeting this week. Enjoy your time with family and friends! We will return in January for in person gatherings at the Onalaska Y all four weeks! Check out the upcoming Speaker Schedule for some amazing programs! On a related note, I am off to Michigan to celebrate my parent's 50th anniversary, meaning next week's newsletter may come to you on a Monday :)
I am pleased to announce three new members of Valley View Rotary, for a total of 9 new members since July 1st. Please welcome Amy Bettis, Erin Goggin and Matt Boschka.
Please keep Jill and Mike Blokhuis in your thoughts and prayers. A Caring Bridge site has been set up at: Mike | CaringBridge for updates.
