Newsletter #1 for 21/22

 The club voted 18 to 14 to 1 to stay at Famous Daves!

This week we are at Celebrations (Shenanigans) on French Island

 2100 Dawson Ave, La Crosse, 

Time for a new club President!  Please congratulate Katie Thompson!!

Pass the Presidents gavel, need as many past club presidents to come!

The past year has been strange to say the least, 52 weeks and only 1 meeting at Famous Daves, 2 at the Band Shell, 4 off sites.  Great experience, I need to thank Stephanie for her outstanding work making Zoom fun for us all!

Speaker- Newest Member Classification- Mike Jankowski

 

BE THE BREW MEISTER

Well done club!  We broke the $10,000 threshold!

AVENUES OF SERVICE BANQUET-  Please plan on attending August 25, 5:30 social, 6:30 dinner, La Crescent Event Center, $35, acknowledging honorees from 2020 and 2021
 
New Member!!  Rox Anderson, please be sure to welcome her, that is 3 new members in the last 2 months.  Only 8 to go!
 
River Fest Fence take down Monday July 5th at 7 am, sign up here. Fast way for the club to make some money, just sign up, bring your work gloves and a wire snipper, many hands make this task a lot of fun!

Tomah Rotary will be hosting a major event in September on the 17th and 18th. They are holding an ATV/UTV rally with the goal of setting a new world record for the most machines in a parade. The current record is 1,870 held by a group in Colorado. We think the record belongs in Wisconsin, so we have set a goal of 2,000! As the saying goes, "It is going to be EPIC!"  

Rally weekend will include a poker run, decorating contest, raffles, vendors, beer garden, music and a classic car show. There is camping available for those wanting to spend the weekend. See the attached flyer for more information. Online registration is now open and only $25 per machine.
