Ozaukee County Judge, Paul Malloy spoke to our club at Tuesday’s meeting, providing some insight into the county’s judicial system. His presentation included discussions about how the court handled its business during the COVID 19 pandemic, including how the jail dealt with people coming in and out of the jail. As a result of COVID, most people who were eligible for work release were sent home with electronic monitoring. Judge Malloy said the jail and courts handled the pandemic without issues, thanks to the hard work of the clerks and staff.

 

Going forward, it’s likely that more short court hearings will occur via zoom, as well as prisoner hearings. This saves a lot of expense, both for civil matters where attorneys are traveling, and criminal hearings for people who are incarcerated and would otherwise have to be transported by two deputies to the courthouse.

 

A big thank you from the club to Judge Malloy for the service you provide to our community, and for joining us and providing this interesting insight. 

 

 

With weeks left before the end of the year, the Sunrise Club still hasn't made their annual last minute contribution to the Rotary Foundation to sweep the coveted Sam Azinger Trophy from the grasp of the Noon Club.  But when they do, they'll be shocked to find that it wasn't quite enough. In just a few minutes on Tuesday we got commitments and checks to meet our goal of raising $10,000 for the Rotary Foundation this year!  Thank you to everyone who has made contributions this year, in particular thank you to Maureen O'Leary, Heather Mader, Greg Sommersberger, and an anonymous donor for contributing $500 for Maureen's "pay it forward" offer.  Thanks also to another anonymous donor who made a $1,000 donation. 

 

It looks like there's a Rotary tattoo in store for Sam's summer! We are seeking volunteers for who will get the Rotary tattoo when we raise $10,000 again next year. If you'd like to nominate yourself or someone else, be sure to come to Changing of the Guard on June 29.  

The Rundown is being reintroduced to keep important dates and reminders in our weekly bulletin. 

 

June 29: Changing of the Guard will take place at the American Legion from 5-7PM. Join the Club in sending Sam Azinger off into the sunset and welcoming our new club president, Heather Mader, and her leadership team.

And guess what! Tony made an appearance at Tuesday's meeting and got a round of applause! (I think it was an actual sincere round of applause, and not just from the TVR Fan Club.) Not to worry though, the boo birds started flying shortly after he took the mic, and he was chased off the podium when everyone started throwing tomatoes.
