FUND OBJECTIVE:

The Terry Bauer Moon Tunes Special Project Fund helps support the projects and mission of the Valley View Rotary Club. The fund will support community programs and projects that benefit the Greater La Crosse Area that make the area a better place to live, work, play and visit. Beneficiaries include the arts, beautification, recreation, health and social well-being, with special emphasis given to music, music education and music-related programs. 

The fund was created by the Valley View Rotary Club to recognize Bauer, the founder of the club’s popular summer concert series held in La Crosse’s Riverside Park. Moon Tunes, starting its 15^th season, offers a free summer concert series that raises donations and awareness for the park’s bandshell renovation and other amenities. Friends and families bring lawn chairs, beverages and snacks and hear music from the area’s greatest musicians. Valley View Rotarians pass around buckets at intermission for donations.

When Shari Laffredi was working with Viterbo University during the Ukrainian delegation's Open World visit, she made contact with a student organization called "The Sustainability Club" (Sustainability Club offers a way into environmentalism – Lumen). Since sunflowers are a significant industry in Ukraine, they plan to do a "Sunflowers for Ukraine" fundraiser. They will have a booth at the Logan High School Spring Craft Show on Saturday, March 21, where they will sell sunflower seeds, sunflower oil, sunflowers, and sunflower-themed paintings and crafts. “100% of proceeds will go to UNITED24: UNITED24 - The Initiative of the President of the Ukraine”. I know we have many talented, crafty and artistic people in our club, so if anyone would like to create or donate artwork/crafts to sell at this fundraiser, your donations would be very welcome! As we get closer to the event, we will work out details for setup/takedown and manning the booth from 9am-3pm. If anyone has art/crafts to offer, can help out at the booth on 3/21, or has questions, please contact Shari at slaffredi@yahoo.com or 262-488-0021. More info to come. Thank you!
