Monday, September 8, 2025, Kelsy Brenn of Augustine Prep updated us on the progress on their North Campus construction. They expect it to be open for the 2026 school year.
We had two presentations on Monday, August 11.
First, Mike Wanger showed us his “Birds of Wisconsin “ pictures and told us about them.
Then our own, Tom McCutcheon, showed us some of his own carved and painted bird collection.
At our latest Rotary gathering, we were honored to hear from the remarkable Matt Panelli, a man whose story redefines what's possible. Diagnosed with MS, Matt didn’t let that stop him, in fact, he set his sights on something most would never attempt: climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. And he did it!
Matt’s message was clear and powerful: with grit, heart, and determination, even the "impossible" becomes possible. His story is now being turned into a documentary that promises to inspire many more to reach for their own summits.
Thank you, Matt, for reminding us all that courage isn't about avoiding limitations. It's about rising above them.
