Barron County Sunrise Rotary

09/05/2026

Help us make sure no child sleeps on the floor in our county! Our local Rotary Clubs are partnering with Sleep in Heavenly Peace to build 60 beds on Saturday, October 3, beginning at 9:00 a.m. at the Barron County Fairgrounds.

Volunteers will help cut, sand, drill, assemble and stain beds for children right here in Barron County.

We are also collecting donations of new bedding at registration on build day. Our greatest need this fall is twin-size mattress protectors. Other needed items include:

• New twin-size sheet sets
• Twin comforters
• Twin bed-in-a-bag sets
• New pillows

Items may also be purchased through the Walmart registry by searching for “SHP Chippewa Valley Chapter.”

Monetary donations and bed sponsorships are greatly appreciated. A sponsorship can also be made in honor or memory of someone special.

Our club members recently toured Northwood Technical College's Immersive Room, a high-fidelity emergency medical simulation designed to give EMT and paramedic students a realistic experience of what they might face in the field. Funded by the U.S. Department of Labor’s EduSTAT in Rural Healthcare grant, it featured scenarios like a lawn mowing accident, a drowning on a local lake, someone collapsing at a noisy party, a farm accident, and even a bouncy-house mishap. Inside, students can hear, see, smell, and even feel the weather for each situation. This impressive facility is one of only 12 in the entire country.

This week, our club took a trip to Green Leaf Farms in Chetek, where they grow lettuce, Swiss chard, kale, microgreens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and herbs hydroponically year-round. Many of their fresh produce are served in our local restaurants and stores. Thanks for the wonderful early morning tour and tasty samples!
