Today at Oshkosh Southwest Rotary, we welcomed Ruth Mauritz and Tracy Gehrke, who shared information about the Oshkosh Community Back-to-School Fair!

This wonderful community initiative helps provide more than 1,000 students with an equal opportunity to start the school year prepared and ready to succeed.

Each student receives:
🎒 A backpack filled with school supplies
👕 A new outfit of school-appropriate clothing
🧴 Hygiene items
💇 A complimentary haircut from a local hairstylist
👟 A voucher for shoes at Rogan’s Shoes in Oshkosh

Thank you, Ruth and Tracy, for sharing the impact of this important program and for the work being done to support Oshkosh students and families. It takes a community working together to make a difference! 💙

🎁 Help SW Rotary Spread Some Holiday Cheer! 🎄

If you’re out and about shopping and happen to see wrapping paper, please consider picking up a roll or two for SW Rotary! 🎀

We’ll be using the wrapping paper for our Christmas party with Parent Connection in December.

If you’re able to donate, please bring your wrapping paper to SW Rotary on Wednesdays. Every roll helps us make the holidays a little brighter for local families! ❤️💚

Thank you for helping SW Rotary Serve to Change Lives! 🎄🎁

Today is November 1, the beginning of Rotary Foundation Month.

When you support The Rotary Foundation, you help Rotary members turn community priorities into practical projects—from healthier families and stronger educational opportunities to clean water and peacebuilding.

You can make this month especially meaningful by looking beyond the project announcement. Ask your club what a Foundation-supported effort has made possible, what the community helped decide, and how the work will continue.

You might contribute, share your skills, or help a newer member understand the Foundation. Whatever your circumstances, you have a way to participate.

This November, choose one project to learn about more deeply—and one thoughtful way to support the people carrying it forward.

💜💛 SW Rotary Walks for a Polio-Free World! 💛💜

On October 24, Rotarians from Oshkosh Southwest Rotary participated in the World’s Largest Polio Walk to raise awareness and support Rotary’s ongoing mission to eradicate polio worldwide! 🌎🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

For decades, Rotary has been working toward a world free of polio, and every step brings us closer to that goal. Together, we can help make polio a disease of the past!

🎃🥧 Oshkosh Southwest Rotary Is Making a Difference! 🥧🎃

Thanks to the generous donations from our Rotarians, we delivered supplies to Father Carr’s to help local high school students make 500 pumpkin pies of various sizes for Thanksgiving! ❤️

Just look at the ingredients our donations helped provide!

🥣 100 lbs. of flour
🍚 50 lbs. of sugar
🧈 18 tubs of shortening
🎃 125 cans of pumpkin
🥛 126 cans of evaporated milk

That’s a whole lot of pie and an even bigger helping of community spirit! 🧡

Thank you to our generous Rotarians for making this possible and helping spread a little extra gratitude and joy this Thanksgiving season!

Service Above Self! 💙💛

October 24 is both United Nations Day and World Polio Day—a reminder of how powerful we are when we act together.

Thanks to a global effort, we’ve reduced polio by 99.9% since 1988. The finish line is in sight, but we need continued support, awareness, and action to end it for good.

On this day, honor the power of global cooperation:
✅ Learn more about the fight against polio
✅ Share the story—many still don’t know polio exists
✅ Support global health and vaccination efforts

Together, we can make history—and a healthier future.
