Dr. Alan Gegenheimer of Froedtert Kenosha/PP shared Orthopedic updates with us. He is passionate about total knees, hips and shoulders and to avoid sacrificing the ligaments that support them. He shared statistics on the failure rate of for arthroscopic repair on a small surgical tear is 20% and the larger the tear, the increase of the failure rate.
Stay tuned as we work on our club's Strategic Vision Planning and find new ways to serve our community when & where we are needed in the next decade! Rotary Club of Kenosha - 100 Years Young in 2021!
Tuesday's speaker was Meridith Jumisko from the Kenosha Area Convention & Visitor’s Bureau( KACVB) which was founded in 1986 & staffs two visitor’s centers, one downtown, one at I-94. 2020 Visitors guides are out and the cover photo is of the annual car show, over 1000 cars entered last year and it is a boon to the local hotels & restaurants for that weekend. The big news right now was Restaurant Week - Restaurant week was bigger this year by extending out of Downtown, including West of the I restaurants. p
The Restaurant Week Passport encourages folks to go to more than one restaurant by having servers initial the passport and then it goes into a drawing for local food and accommodations. Grand prize is an overnight stay at the Stella Hotel & Ballroom, other prizes include restaurant gift cards, museum admissions, and Kingfish tickets. Responses have been very positive with FB postings and online menu queries. Other events coming this year are: the pizza bakeoff, car show, etc. Event Calendar & additional info are in the Visitors Bureau Guide at. https://www.visitkenosha.com
A big Thank you to Karen Young and Alicia Fosbinder for assiting with notes and photos for me. My apologies that the Rotator was sent out so late!
Today we held our 2020 Strategic Vision Planning meeting. We broke out into groups and had 2 board members at each table to serve as Facilitators. There was a lot of great dialogue and a hearty thank you to everyone who attended and participated. If you were not able to attend, we ask you to take some time to think about - What are your expectations from our Rotary Club? What is your why and does the club help you to achieve your why? Is it meeting your expectations? What do you see as our strengths and what are our opportunities for improvement? What do we do well and where could we make improvements? If you did not attend, someone from the board will be reaching out to you to assure that we are getting input from all members.
