Jordan spoke to our group in early January. This might be something Rotarians would be interested in attending/supporting. I am sure they would love it if you would share out the event!!

In just ONE year, so much has grown and it’s all because of YOU. 💛

We are hosting a Sensory Expansion Reveal to showcase the incredible upgrades and expanded sensory space we were able to accomplish in our first year of business. This celebration is a heartfelt thank you to our amazing clients and families for your consistent support, and to the Heart of the Valley Chamber of Commerce for the generous small business grant that helped make this expansion possible.

📅 Tuesday, March 3rd
⏰ 5:00-6:30 PM
📍 Unseen Abilities

We will kick off the evening with an official ribbon cutting with the Chamber, followed by time to explore our newly expanded sensory space, connect with our community, and celebrate one year of impact together.

✨ What to expect:
🍕 Pizza from Domino's
☕🍩 Refreshments, treats, and giveaways from Dunkin'
🍨 Sweet treats from Baskin-Robbins
🚛 A LIVE official monster truck from Rosenow Customs for kids (and kids at heart!) to see up close
🎁 Raffle baskets and fun giveaways

This evening is about celebrating growth, community partnership, and the incredible things that can happen in just one year when families, local businesses, and supporters come together.

Bring your kids. Bring your neighbors. Bring your friends.
The more the merrier! We cannot wait to celebrate with you. 💛

Thank you Brian Ollech for the action shots from time at Feeding America a couple of days ago!! This is what UNITING FOR GOOD looks like!!

Look at all these fabulous people volunteering at FEEDING AMERICA this morning after having breakfast with a bunch of Rotarians, all of whom are on a mission to UNITE FOR GOOD. Working with Feeding America and learning more about Solving Hunger is the kind of thing Rotarians are passionate about.

Thank you, Josh Kilgas and JD Gildemeister for sharing your expertise on how nonprofits can improve governance and internal structures in ways that will help them be more mission driven and effective within the communities they serve.

Josh founded SOLUTIONS FOR CHANGE MAKERS after working many years at United Way, where he enjoyed working closely with nonprofits across the Valley. Josh and JD are the leading experts on helping board members and nonprofit CEOs, Executive Directors, and staff find solutions that shake up outdated concepts that no longer work in the current nonprofit landscape and replace them with fresh ideas to propel the organization forward and allow them to better meet the needs of the communities they serve.

Our standard practice of getting a photo with our guests and our president accidentally didn't happen today... I will blame the change of venue that shook up our routine a smidge.

Thank you for your flexibility, Josh!

Susan Rabideau gave a brilliant and engaging presentation on Dream Role, a massive community theater project with over 100 performers and 400 costumes. Susan spoke to the performances of students and the amazing things those humans are doing now! There were several Rotary connections as well. It was so engaging, in fact, that we totally forgot to get the traditional photo of presenter with our club president, currently Doug.

If you are interested in seeing Dream Role, a best of the last ten years, here is the link. It is being hosted by Kaukauna High School this year.
