In May, our club applied for a Rotary District Grant in partnership with Sun Prairie Community Schools. The project that we hoped would be funded was called "Opening Doors for Kids and Families in Sun Prairie." The project calls for SP Rotary to be integrally involved with the First Friday Family Fun Nights held at Buena Vista Site of SP Community Schools located within Westside Elementary. Rotarians are asked to volunteer at our First Friday Family Fun Nights. Your family members are invited to attend as well. This is a community wide event.
We are making and serving pancakes at the Sun Prairie Fire Department Open House. We serve the fireman at 7:30 am and then the public starting at 8:00 am. We will need 14 - 16 volunteers to help in the morning. There will be 2 shifts, first one starting at 6:30 am. We will be done serving around 11 am or until we are out of food. Sign up sheets will be coming soon.

CALLING ALL FUTURE ROTARY YOUTH EXCHANGE STUDENTS!
Your future awaits...
What is Rotary Youth Exchange?
Opportunity to learn a new culture and language
Opportunity to be an ambassador
Opportunity to make friends for a lifetime
It’s a year of adventure
The Rotary Club of Sun Prairie, as part of the Central States Rotary Youth Exchange program, sends and receives high school students to/from 40 countries:
The Colonial Club Senior Center in Sun Prairie, WI will hold its 6th annual "ColoniALE Fest" on Friday, November 4, 2016. With over 60 different types of beer and over a dozen types of wine, this event has become a popular event over the years. Wisconsin State Journal's Chris Drosner, aka "The Beer Baron" said:
“I’ve been to a lot of beer festivals, and ColoniALE is a nice change of pace, perfect for people with a budding interest in beer or intermediate connoisseurs. Its relatively intimate size and friendly people on both sides of the pouring tables – not to mention the good cause -- have kept me coming back.”
As Chris mentioned, the cause is a good one. ColoniALE Fest raises money to help sustain the programs and activities of the Colonial Club and its mission: to enhance the well-being and independence of older adults. Whether we're delivering a nutritious meal to a homebound senior or providing compassionate care in the Adult Day Center, we're helping people age well.
This year, we welcome the Sun Prairie Rotary Club as a co-sponsor of our event. The Rotary Club does lots of charitable work in Sun Prairie and around the globe and we're happy to have them join us.
All of us, regardless of age want to remain in our homes for as long as it's safely possible. Your purchase of tickets will help make that possible. Ticket price includes complimentary souvenir tasting glass, comprehensive program of beer descriptions and samples of great, local food.
Is your club finding it challenging to retain current and attract new members?

Are you looking for ways to engage your members in Rotary’s work throughout the world through the Rotary International Foundation?
JOIN other Rotary LEADERS from our District as we EXCHANGE IDEAS and TAKE ACTION on actual proven ideas on how to energize and bolster your club for growth, service and public interaction.
The purpose of the Summit is to understand how membership, public image and the Rotary Foundation all work together and support the work of your club and Rotary around the world.
You will walk away with ideas and hands on tools to help strengthen your club’s membership, public image and involvement in the Rotary Foundation’s fundraising and programs
