COVID-19 #RotaryResponds one-hour Telethon
We are pleased to invite you to participate in a COVID-19 #RotaryResponds one-hour Telethon to raise critical funds for disaster response. This Facebook Live event will be simulcast on the Rotary International Facebook page. The goal is to raise more than $1 million dollars. (the link is now live)

Rotary’s 1.2 million members across the globe have taken swift action to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. More than $3.4 million in Rotary Disaster Response Grants have already been put into action on the frontlines to battle COVID-19. Additionally, millions more have been raised by our #PeopleofAction - they have responded quickly and are truly saving lives. Now, we need to do more and the need for additional funding is a priority.

Join this live event to hear stories of hope, inspiration and gratitude from Rotarians, Rotaractors and friends of Rotary from across the globe as they share what they are doing to help their communities. The telethon will also showcase how our polio eradication infrastructure is helping to combat COVID-19.

How can you participate:

1. Participate in the telethon on Facebook Live on 2 May at Rotary International's Facebook Page (facebook.com/rotary). The live stream will be simulcast in eight languages.

2. Share this event & spread the word through your social media channels.

3. Invite friends, family, and members of your community to watch and see first-hand what Rotary's People of Action are doing to combat COVID-19.

4. Post on social media during the broadcast and on the day of the event using the hashtag #RotaryResponds.

5. Donate as an individual or as a club at http://on.rotary.org/drf [Note: Be sure to login to your My Rotary account to receive your Paul Harris Fellow recognition points.]

6. Encourage your Rotary District to donate District Designated Funds (DDF) at https://on.rotary.org/ddf-donate. (Note: DDF received between April 22st and May 3rd will be considered part of the telethon fundraising total.)
 
Thank you for all of your assistance in creating awareness about this opportunity to do more Good in the World!
Rotary Roadside Clean Up
6 members of Thiensville Mequon Rotary spent 1 1/2 hour picking up Cedarburg Road on Saturday, April 25.  We left 8 bags of trash in front of the Kwik Trip on the corner of Cedarburg and Donges Bay Roads. We were very careful of social distancing and cross contamination problems. Participating members included Rob Kos, John Rosing (on his youngest daughter's wedding day), Tim Carr, Kathleen Schneider, Jenne Hohn, and Sandy Custer.

HISTORY OF THE FUTURE MILWAUKEE PROGRAM

For more than 40 years, Future Milwaukee (FM) served as a community partner in the development of Milwaukee's area leaders. Many public, private, and nonprofit professionals have traveled along the FM path, creating an ever broadening web of connected and committed residents. Over 1,500 alumni have contributed their leadership gifts to positions in government, business education, religious and non-profit institutions.

Future Milwaukee Graduates

  • Ethnic diversity: 38 percent people of color (including African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and those from the Asian-Pacific and Indian subcontinent)
  • Gender diversity: 60 percent women; 40 percent men
  • People with disabilities
  • Age diversity from early 20s to mid-60s
  • Employment diversity: 50 percent from private sector; 40 percent from nonprofit sector; 10 percent from government sector
  • Geographic diversity from the four-county Greater Milwaukee area
Final Bracket Results and Winners
 
In a stunning turn of events, the Final 4 games were played on Facebook Live (that's not the stunning turn of events). Kansas outscored Duke on a buzzer beater to move onto the Championship Game. In the second game Maryland showed its dominance over Oregon and would also move on. After a stunning rendition of the National Anthem by Shaka Khan, Maryland played the game of their lives, but still fell short to the Makeshift NCAA Champions. 
 
For those of you who fill out brackets every year, you know that the last thing you do after you pick a champion is to predict the Championship Game score, which would serve as a tiebreaker. Being that (1) there wasn't going to be a score, and (2) I've never seen a tie before, I elected to skip this step, but here are the results:
 
          Rob Kos 1 Bracket had 1,150 points,
          Sandy Custer 1 Bracket has 1,150 points, tying for first place,
          Sam Azinger 1 Bracket came in 3rd place with 1,100 points, and
          Maureen O'Leary 4 Bracket came in a close 4th with 1,080 points. 
 
So what now? Is there such thing as a tie in the TM Rotary Makeshift March Madness Tournament? I think not. 
 
This Tuesday at our regularly scheduled meeting we will have a virtual match to determine the winner. Sandy and Rob will each be asked to select a final score and a score will be randomly generated between 140 and 200. Whoever selects the closer score will be crowned the winner.
Rotary Speaker: Kathleen Schilling and Tim Vertz
Last week our speakers were Kathleen Schilling, executive director of Ozaukee Economic Development, and our own Tim Vertz to discuss the impact COVID-19 is having on our local economy and small businesses across the state. The key message I received from their time is a lack of coherent plan within our legislature to get necessary relief funds where they are needed the most. If you are interested about what you personally can do to get the ball moving in the right direction, contact Kathleen Schilling at kschilling@co.ozaukee.wi.us or our past president Tim Vertz. They has many great talking points you can bring up with our state representatives.

Rotary clubs help fight the COVID-19 pandemic 
The COVID19 global pandemic is threatening our health, safety, and way of life. But Rotary International President Mark Maloney reminds members hw we can set an example from others by doing what Rotary does best - working together and caring for each other. you can watch his message here: http://owa.edwardjones.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=6ZhUdtHbT-FbURB15J6zyuPzvmOCjLWkvLueZvhSV0HYglf3LNrXCA..&URL=http%3a%2f%2fmsgfocus.rotary.org%2fc%2f18ESeyufKEVxAfGzPPlI76oM4CT
 
Using the vast infrastructure developed to identify the poliovirus and deliver vaccination campaigns, the polio eradication program is pitching in to protect the vulnerable from COVID19, especially in Polio-endemic countries. learn more here: http://owa.edwardjones.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=PaKwm97vDel5rDLhg-g3V9wOgtAgn3GMx5F6Fs4ndM7Yglf3LNrXCA..&URL=http%3a%2f%2fmsgfocus.rotary.org%2fc%2f18ESeGgYpu62xGK7YYTMDvb4py6
Official Bracket Standings and Final 4
 
The Final 4 is set for the TM Rotary March Madness Makeshift Tournament. Games took place on Facebook Live at 3:30 PM on Friday to narrow the pack from 16 teams to the last 4 standing. A path to victory remains for almost 20 Brackets, but only 2 Brackets still have their Championship Game selections still in tact. Top three Brackets will receive Trophies, and the Best bracket will have $760 donated to the Rotary Foundation in their name, and they will receive an additional 240 points toward a Paul Harris Award. Second place will receive 500 points towards and Paul Harris Award, and Third Place will receive 250 points towards a Paul Harris Award. If you otherwise have questions about giving to the Rotary Foundation or would like to make a contribution, please email Sam and he'll give you all the info you need. All points will be given by Sandy Custer (who repeatedly requests to not be recognized, but forgot in this instance). Unfortunately, the bottom three Bracket positions have already been determined. Fortunately, Maureen can claim (and Sam can verify) that someone else filled out those Brackets for her. 
 
Club Updates
Meetings will be suspended until further notice! We encourage everyone to continue this practice of social distancing. This will not be taken into account for your attendance for those pursuing perfect attendance. Also, you will not be charged for your lunches at this time. I recommend putting those excess funds to work with the Rotary Foundation or to local non profits such as Ozaukee Family Sharing.
 
For those looking to continue to find ways to be of service during this event, I encourage you to visit  http://volunteerwisconsin.galaxydigital.com/. there are a number of opportunities including things that can be done from home!
 
While it seems distant, summer meetings are just around the corner. Anyone interested in being a head chef for one of these meetings should reach out to Sandy at cust1234@aol.com. These meetings will be July 7- Aug 25.
 
For those who had expressed interest in our March Madness tournament competition, Sam Azinger has devised an alternate format for the tournament. the goal is to raise funds for the Rotary Foundation. For everyone who is curious about how the tournament would have played out, here is the ESPN Basketball Power Index simulation. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/28915817/bpi-projects-how-2020-ncaa-tournament-played-out
 
 

 

Official Bracket and Standings Through Round of 32
 
It was a wild Round of 64 and Round of 32 that took place the the T-M Rotary Club's Facebook page live at 3:30 last week Friday. As expected there were several upsets, including 15 seed Stephen F. Austin taking down Dayton in the first round. In the second round we saw 9 Seed LSU take down 1 seed Baylor and 2 seed Michigan State eliminated by 7 seed Colorado.
 
Many brackets are decimated, but many still stand strong. Brackets have been graded and standings through the Round of 32 can be found below. Although some brackets seem to be performing well, many have seen their Final 4, Championship game, and Champion's eliminated early, leaving them with few points possible. Be sure to tune in next week Friday at 3:30 to the T-M Rotary Facebook page for the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 games. It's guaranteed to be a good time!
 
Rotary Speaker: Dr. Matt Joynt
This week our speaker was our fellow member and superintendent of schools Dr. Matthew Joynt. His presentation provided information regarding the proposed referendum for the Mequon-Thiensville School District. The referendum has many goals: maintaining a commitment to facilities, providing high quality adaptable physical environments for students, addressing current and future learning needs, providing value to all stake holders, and staying financially responsible.
 
Following an initial review, six areas were identified for potential support.
 
The area highlighted as the main concern was enrollment and growth. the existing capacity for our elementary schools is 1524 students; the current enrollment is 1561.  before adjusting for expected growth in the next 5-10 years, we are above our limit. The plan would call for renovations at the three elementary schools to increase space available for all classes, expand cafeterias, and renovating targeted spaces at the middle schools including musics specialist for current needs.
 
The next important area identified was safety/security. In a world with ever evolving dangers and threats, it is important students feel safe in our schools. That in mind, the district is looking to improve traffic circulation and parking lot queuing space, make restrooms and play grounds more accessible for those with mobility impairments, create a more identifiable main entrance at homestead and district wide, improvements to control visitor, and connect municipal water and enhance fire suppression at middle and elementary levels.
 
The other four issues, outdated learning environments, maintenance, community and recreation use, and athletics are important; however, they are not the current priority of the district.
 
If you have additional questions, I encourage you to visit https://www.mtsd.k12.wi.us/district/facilities/referendum or talk with Dr. Joynt.
 
Rotary Speaker: Amanda M. Roddy
Amanda M. Roddy is the Field Organizer with Marsy's Law for Wisconsin. She is also a newer member of the Waukesha Noon Rotary Club. Amanda has been married 15 years this summer, and her and her husband have 3 daughters. They enjoys road trips with the family and live theater and music. She also loves to help plan and run events, which, as we all know, will make her an excellent addition to her Rotary Club.

Amanda is here to tell us about Marsy's law, which is a proposed constitutional amendment which will support rights of crime victims and their families. If passed, Wisconsin would become the 14th state to pass ballot measure for the adoption of Marsy's law. The resolution was co-sponsored by Senator Alberta Darling and Representative Jim Ott, among 51 State Senators and Representatives.
 
 
 
Doc turns 101!
Last week we celebrated a birthday number 101 for our esteemed member, Dr. George Witte. At 72 years, he is our longest active member and a true servant of the Thiensville-Mequon community. We wish him another year of health and happiness.
 
 
Using film to build peace and understanding

Using film to build peace and understanding


Visiting the wreckage of the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor with her Japanese father and American mother left a lasting impression on Megumi Nishikura as a child. But it was the terrorist attacks on the US in 2001 that convinced the then film-student to pursue a Rotary Peace Fellowship and commit to using media to pursue peace.

Stepping up our Polio Eradication
Gates Foundation extends its match of donations to Rotary for polio eradication

On 22 January, Rotary and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced that they would extend their long-term fundraising partnership, which generates up to $150 million annually for polio eradication. Under the agreement, Rotary commits to raising. $50 million a year over the next three years, and each dollar will be matched with an additional two dollars by the Gates Foundation. This expanded agreement will yield up to $450 million for polio eradication activities.
 
 

International delegation of Rotary leaders visits Pakistan to support polio eradication


Earlier this month, a delegation of Rotary International leaders from around the world traveled to Pakistan to meet with government officials to discuss recent challenges in the effort to end polio there. The government leaders praised Rotary for its prominent role in polio eradication and for providing vital financial support to Pakistan and other countries that are threatened by polio.

The Rotary delegation included Holger Knaack, 2020-21 Rotary International president; K.R. Ravindran, 2020-21 trustee chair of The Rotary Foundation; and Michael K. McGovern, chair of Rotary’s International PolioPlus Committee. The group was accompanied by incoming Rotary Foundation Trustee Aziz Memon, the chair of Rotary’s Pakistan National PolioPlus Committee.

Rotary Speaker: Peterson Apfelbach
 
Our speaker this week was none other than our club's youngest member, Peterson Apfelbach! While he doesn't have as many years behind him, he still had plenty of great stories to tell!
 
Peterson has been a member of the Mequon-Thiensville community since he was three years old. He had the honor of receiving an education from the Mequon-Thiensville school district from K5-12th grade. During that time he was active on the tennis team, competed in chess tournaments, participated in curling bonspiels, and played clarinet in the band! During that time in the band, he taught himself how to play trumpet, a far more fun and flashy instrument! After a great adolesence, it was time to move on to something bigger, college.
 
While not his first choice, UW-Madison was always where he had been fated to attend. Even though a large portion of his time was dedicated to his studies in physics and economics, those were really just a side gig for his participation in the University of Wisconsin-Marching Band under the direction of Michael Leckrone. As a member of that band he got to travel all across the country performing for the best fans in the world at tailgates, sporting events, and numerous charity outings. 
 
Following his time at school, we find him where he is now, serving as a financial adviser for Edward Jones in the heart of Thiensville! When he isn't working, he would be happy to challenge you to a game of chess, or perhaps get back to his Ironman training to have a cleaner race than last time! We look forward to his continued contributions to the club and hope he doesn't get hit by another bus.
 
How Rotary and Peace Corps work together
 
As a returned Peace Corps volunteer, Rotarian Maureen Duncan understood the value of reaching out to Peace Corps volunteers to help her district’s project. The project is advancing education and providing economic opportunities for youth in Guatemala. Your club can work with Peace Corps volunteers to identify beneficiaries, assess communities, and involve community members in projects.
 
Proper use of The Four-Way Test
In his blog post for Rotary Voices, Martin Postic Jr. explains why The Four-Way Test makes a better mirror than window. Postic argues that the test should not be used to put down the opinions of others or defend contentious social issues, but should be used to guide one’s own ethical behavior.
 
Rotary Speaker: Tyler Briggs
 
Last week our guest speaker was none other than Tyler Briggs! As with all members, he got an opportunity to share with us a little about himself!
 
Tyler Grew up in Madison and graduated from Madison Memorial. Due to the incredible ability and outstanding nature of the program, and not his immediate proximity to UW- Madison, Tyler was a die hard Badger fan. He planned that after one year of attending UW-Milwaukee he would transfer; however, he fell in love with the school and the city of Milwaukee. As a result, he stayed there to complete his undergraduate degree. For his professional career, Tyler has long been involved with financial services. The majority of that time has been working as a financial adviser. While RBC is his current employer, Tyler has worked for a few other great companies along the way such as R.W. Baird. Since joining our club, Tyler has been a wonderful participant in many of our activities as well as a generous contributor to our causes already earning a Paul Harris Award. It is a pleasure having him in our club and we look forward to him sticking around for a long time.
People of Action around the globe
 
The Rotary Club of Manila Magic and the Rotaract Club of Manila inaugurated monthly medical visits at a child care center in Tondo, one of their city’s most crowded and hardscrabble slums. The program taps volunteer professionals, including five doctors. Hundreds of patients have benefited from the visits and from medicines purchased by Rotarians and their families. Read more in our monthly roundup of club activities.
