DUCK's RAFFLE Results! Posted on Jun 27, 2019 Congratulations again to all members for a very successful DUCKS RAFFLE event. This year was the 30th Anniversary of our DUCKS Raffle fund raiser and our club had its most successful year in selling tickets and signing up local sponsors. One big reason for our success was the broad participation of members, the best ever! And there were also a number of members who really led the way. The "Top Team" in this year's team competition was won by Team #2 comprised of Team Captain Marlene Gargulak, Dave Bridges, Jason DeRousseau, Stephen Huebscher, Chuck Lawrence, Barb Ritzinger, Kathy Wellsandt and Steve Tangwall. As a club we raised over $40,000 this year in paid sponsorships and ticket sales with net proceeds sufficient to pay off our final Rice Lake Library donation pledge of $16,700. The balance of proceeds will go into our annual donation funds. Great Job by all!! Read more...	DUCK's RAFFLE Results!		2019-06-27 05:00:00Z

It also would be helpful for all members to bring to the noon meeting "all sponsor forms signed to date" to help us determine where we stand against our goal. If you are not able to attend tomorrow's meeting, suggest you email your signed sponsor forms to your team captain of to jbarron354@aol.com as an email attachment. Finally, we will use remaining time to start planning your team goal/strategy/tactics to maximize your team's DUCKS ticket sales starting on May 9. The winners of this year's raffle will be drawn on Sunday, June 9 at the conclusion of the Aqua Fest parade. This is a very important meeting; please make every effort to join us tomorrow!

Donations for Lima Sarhadi Our guest speaker on Thursday, February 28 was Lima Sarhadi. For those of you at that noon meeting, you learned about Lima, who moved to the United States from a war torn Afghanistan when she was only 13 years old, without her parents, to make a life here in the U.S. Lima is now a striving and succeeding student at UWBC with future plans to gain an education and then to return to her native Afghanistan to do good for her country. Those of us at her presentation were so impressed with her courage, sincerity, charisma, and positive attitude that we feel we must do something to support Lima. She has a goal to raise $2600 for next year's tuition as an out-of-state student. If you were not able to make a donation to this cause, you will have another opportunity to do so tomorrow. Please bring some $$ CASH $$ with you tomorrow for this very worthwhile cause, and, be generous; your contributions are going to help a young woman who is going to make a big difference in "her world".

New Member "Spotlight" This week we are pleased to "Spotlight" one of our newer Rotary members, Lisa Robinson. "I graduated from Rice Lake High School and attended UW-Stout where I majored in Hotel, Restaurant & Management. I worked in the Twin Cities and Milwaukee as an Operations Manager for Marriott. In 2012, I moved back to Rice Lake to be closer to my family and raise my daughter in a smaller community. I worked as a Human Resource Administrator for a few years and decided that I was looking for more of a work/personal balance. I started to working at CCF last December as a Universal Teller and was recently promoted to Personal Banker. I enjoy working with the customers and meeting new people. I am excited to be a member of Rotary Club and look forward to helping in the community."	New Member "Spotlight"		2019-01-30 06:00:00Z

Rotary Club's "Four Star" Charity Rating The Rotary Foundation earned a "four star" rating from Charity Navigator, the largest and most prestigious independent evaluator of non-profits in the United States. This year's highest distinction is our eighth in a row, which places the Foundation in the top 2 percent of U.S. based charities. Charity Navigator President and CEO Michael Thatcher wrote: "Receiving four out of a possible four stars indicates that your organization adheres to good governance and other best practices that minimize the chance of unethical activities and consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way. This exceptional designation from Charity Navigator differentiates the Rotary Foundation from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust."

Rice Lake Rotary "DUCKS CHASE" 2015 Rice Lake Rotary Club 26th Annual Duck Chase! Mother Nature cooperated with a beautiful sunny day and a mild breeze across the lake. At approximately 4pm the 5,000 ducks were released on Rice Lake. At that point one retriever dog (Bear) was released to retrieve a "single duck" out of the 5,000 in the water. That duck was matched to a "Duck Chase Ticket" and the ticket owner won the top cash prize of $10,000. Then 3 dogs were released in sequence to retrieve a "single duck at a time" for the 20 other prizes won by duck ticket owners. Congratulations to all DUCK's winners!!
