A bit of a belated Happy New Year to each Rotarian in the district. I'm sure it was a busy season for all. Many clubs took time to help others less fortunate in the holiday season. Just a few examples: Whitnall Park does an annual party at the Sojourner House (a home for women and children of domestic violence). Kent Bieganski, President, was Santa Claus. He said, "I am really hooked. The excitement in the eyes of the children, their thrill to sit on Santa's lap, and their thankful hugs made this experience incredibly rewarding. It was a pleasure being able to bring a little bit of holiday happiness to these folks that really need and appreciate it." The club members donate all the gifts for the moms and children.

We need your help to keep the cost of our annual district conference down. Without the financial support of sponsors, the cost of bringing the 2012 District Conference to fruition would be significantly higher.Your sponsorship will allow your Conference Committee to maintain the standards set at Conferences in previous years, while containing costs and providing affordable registration fees. (Click on story title "We Need Your Help" for more information.) | | Posted by Ken Schumann on Jan 23, 2012
On Friday we distributed 50 water filters to an area of lower Grand Boucan. Pictures of the peoples' water source are attached. Everyone who received a filter reported diarrhea disease in their family. We will return with more filters on Feb. 6. This project is going better and faster than I expected. (The filters cost $52 ea. If you would like to donate to this project, please send a check to The Lake Country Foundation, 130 E. Capitol Dr., Hartland, WI 53029)

District Governor Nancy Rhodes has approved the HSSC recommendation for a 2011-2012 PILOT Water and Sanitation Project in rural western Kenya. This will be in association with Project Kenya Charity, a 501c3 based in Wisconsin and HOPE Shelter LLC, a Wisconsin social enterprise corporation. Our immediate task is to raise $15,750 across the District. That is less than $5 per District Rotarian...a cup of foamed latte supro coffee...or a sub sandwich...to provide better health, improved sanitation and dignity for rural poor families in Kenya. Paul Haislmair (414-305-5550) and/or Brydie Hill (262-388-5896) are available for club presentations. Both have recently been in Kenya at the project site.
For additional information about this project, how and where to send funds please contact Dan Christianson:

Good News - Rotary's Midwest PETS registration is now active and ready for use. All President Elects, President Nominees and Assistant Governors are encouraged to register as soon as possible so that you are assured a room in the main hotel for March 9-11. To begin the registration, go to: www.midwestpets.org and follow the directions. (All PETS Council members - John Scherer, Alicia Nichols, Tami Koop - please register directly as "PETS Council members" not as "other.") Please note: If an incoming President does not or has not attended a PETS conference, he/she cannot fill the role of President for their respective club in the coming year. Each club has already been charged for the conference but if they have to attend an alternate site due to their scheduling conflict, it is their responsibility to make all the arrangements and pay any and all expenses for the alternate site. This is a firm policy with almost no exceptions. | | Posted by Colleen Kalscheuer

Rotary clubs will be helping train engineers and scientists to solve problems in water and sanitation, particularly in developing countries, through a new strategic partnership between The Rotary Foundation and UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education. Through the partnership, the Foundation will offer packaged grants that Rotary clubs may use to select and sponsor scholarships for professionals in the water sector. Up to eight students a year may be chosen for any of three master of science programs at the institute in Delft, the Netherlands. | | Posted by Colleen Kalscheuer on Dec 06, 2011
