Black River Falls Rotary - Helping Keep Our Community Beautiful

The Black River Falls Rotary club regularly engages in "Rotary at Work" events to help beautify and improve the quality of life in our thriving community. Each year at the beginning of summer, we assist the Karner Blue Garden Club in mulching some of their wonderful flower beds around the school and downtown.
This year's event took place on June 14th and with the help of heavy equipment from Wood Sales & Service, along with lots of shovels, rakes, and able hands from Rotarians and Garden Club members, we quickly spread out several dump-truck loads of mulch around the city. Enjoy the photos of the event and get out and see our handiwork. Better yet, contact us to join in our next service project.

Saving lives in Ghana

What is it like taking a large team to Africa?  It has probably been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. In mid February, I began leading Rotary members from all over the East Coast of the United States through Ghana. I’ve tried to give the team a warm Ghanaian welcome like I’ve received on my earlier trips. A large trip is a real blessing because each person sees Ghana and our work in a different way.

A highlight for the team was greeting the chief of Sagadugu. The team got excited about buying goats and food for children in the villages where I support eight churches. It was good to see the pastors of most of the eight churches, and I had to explain that we were just passing through on our way to Bolgatanga.

India celebrates three years without polio

Throughout India and around the world, Rotary clubs are celebrating a major milestone: India has gone three years without a new case of polio. The last reported case was a two-year-old girl in West Bengal on 13 January 2011. To mark this historic triumph, Rotary clubs illuminated landmarks and iconic structures throughout the country with four simple but powerful words, "India is polio free."
 
The three-year achievement sets the stage for polio-free certification of the entire Southeast Asia region by the World Health Organization. The Indian government also plans to convene a polio summit in February to commemorate this victory in the global effort to eradicate polio.
