*This will be our last teacher of the month recognition until Fall 2026.
Words of wisdom from the the two class of 2025 scholarship recipients in attendance:
Emilia: She just finished her first year at UW-Madison and the most important thing she learned her first year at college is to always say YES to opportunities.
Clovis: He just finished his first year at UW-La Crosse and the most important thing he learned is to be more confident in yourself and to get connected to the community.
Presentation of current scholarship recipients:
*More than 30 students applied this year. Five of the 10 students selected were in attendance today. They shared where they will be attending school and what they plan to major in.
Asha :University of Rhode Island-Marine Biology
Gabi: Dartmouth College-Liberal Arts
Mollie: University of Iowa-Engineering
Violet: University of Madison-Kinesiology
Greta: University of Madison-Marketing

Those who could not attend this week will attend next week (Allison from Lakeside and Isabellah, Jack, Frida, and Isabella from Lake Mills HS)
Jenny McAdow shared an ice breaker or getting to know you activity with rotarians and guests. She asked for volunteers to answer specific questions that she had already created as she walked around the room. Some of the questions included: Why did you join Rotary, what was your favorite class in high school, advice to recent graduates, and what was your first job. A fun activity to learn more about fellow rotarians and guests.
Final announcements:
Jenny shared information about the speaker calendar on the wall.
- Beth will do an update on July 7th, which will be her first week as the 2026-2027 Rotary President.
- The remaining three Tuesdays in July are open for someone to invite a guest speaker, share information about themselves, etc.
- We would like to get the calendar filled up as best we can. Please contact Jenny McAdow for speaker ideas.
