Drone Videos Wanted
John Ramstad is working on a project for Momentum West, the regional economic development group for 10 counties in Western Wisconsin. As such, John has been contracted to take drone video of a variety of things for a series of videos they're producing. He'd like to take drone video of "lifestyle" recreational activities such as canoeing, kayaking, biking, hiking, fishing, and so on.
Would any Rotarians be willing to work with John so so he can shoot some drone video while they fish, hike, kayak... You will receive get copies of the video but no financial compensation. If you'd like to help, please reach out to John at john.ramstad@yahoo.com.
Christian Community Homes
CCH is seeking donations of material to make cloth isolation gowns. They hope to receive 100 donations of four continuous yards of cotton material. Please contact Debi Mager if you are able to help! debi.mager@cchhudson.org
or 715.386.4536
CASA of Western Wisconsin
The new CASA of Western Wisconsin – St. Croix County - is looking for potential board members to serve on the steering committee and/or 501(c) (3) board. Eventually, we will need CASA volunteers also. CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates and they are trained volunteers appointed by a judge to advocate for a child who is in the child welfare system. In 2019, more than 7,000 Wisconsin children were eligible for a CASA. Only 1,000 children were served because 60 of Wisconsin’s 72 counties do not have a CASA program. Thanks to St. Croix County, that is now down to 59. For further information please contact Tim Heckmann at timothy.heckmann@wicourts.gov.
Call for Submissions
Many of us are involved with other organizations benefiting our community. Please feel free to send information about your connection to these organizations that your fellow Rotarians might find helpful. Information to include in the In our Community section can be sent to tessa.m.boury@hudsonhospital.org
