Elkhorn Rotarians, our friends, and family all hustled around for four days to get Walworth County fairgoers into our lot provided by the Elkhorn Area School District. Final numbers are still being calculated, but we set a new parking $$$ record!!! With these dollars, we have officially raised enough for this year's donation to the City of Elkhorn for Babe Mann Park (Year 4 of 5 years pledged). Stay tuned for the final number in next week's newsletter. Congratulations, everyone!!!
Thanks to all of our AMAZING volunteers who gave their time to make it possible....

NEW MEETING LOCATION:
We're Moving to Advia!
The Matheson Memorial Library renovation begins this week, so Tom has graciously offered to host the club in the Advia Credit Union Community Room for the next four months until February 1, 2026.
The address is 837 N. Wisconsin Street in Elkhorn. Park in the main lot and go through the northern doors for direct access to the space. Same time (11:45am-1:00pm), fun meetings, delicious lunches from Annie's, and fellowship with Rotarians... just in a new space!
We start our first meeting this Wednesday, September 3, 2025 with Grainger's Director of Data Science, Cheryl Kenth, who will share how marketing analytics are shaping the world's largest companies and the future of sales. See you there!
Let's Cheer for a Healthier Community
Signups are now open to assist with the 5K Run/Walk for Rotary on Saturday morning, October 18, 2025. We need water station attendants, course helpers, and folks to help cheer on our participants. Can you help? Click below to help encourage a fun community event.
The "Operation Warm" program has been renamed "Rotary Coats for Kids". Distribution days will be October 11 and November 8. Save the date to help out hand out new warm coats, hats, and gloves to our smallest community members. Sign up coming soon!
Is it the truth?
This first question reminds us of the importance of honesty. Seeking the truth in our actions and words prevents misunderstandings, rumors, and injustices. It builds mutual trust.
Is it fair to all concerned?
Rotary encourages loyalty, not only to friends and colleagues, but also to the community. Fairness and equity ensure balanced and lasting relationships.
Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
This dimension emphasizes social peace. Acting with kindness fosters understanding and prevents conflict.
Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
Finally, Rotarians aim for the public good. A decision must go beyond personal gain to serve the common good, the founding principle of our commitment.
