Happenings
 
The Rotary Club of Lake Zurich is excited to participate in the LZACC 2025 Community & Business Expo on Saturday, April 5th, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Foglia YMCA in Lake Zurich. This free community event offers a great opportunity to connect with local businesses and organizations. Our booth, themed "Dream Big in 2025," will be decorated to inspire and engage attendees. We are looking for one additional member to assist Petra in preparing our booth. Join us as we showcase Rotary’s mission and impact in the community!
 
 
 
The Rotary Club of Lake Zurich is hosting an insightful seminar on AI and Social Media on Monday, April 14th, led by Christine Wetzler, President of Pietryla PR & Marketing. This session will explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping social media strategies, enhancing engagement, and streamlining content creation. Attendees will gain practical insights into leveraging AI tools to optimize their digital presence while maintaining authenticity and trust.
 
Whether you’re a business owner, marketer, or community leader, this seminar will provide valuable takeaways for navigating the evolving landscape of AI-driven communication. Don't miss this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve! Please sign up to let us know you'll be attending since we need to limit participation to 60 people. https://lakezurichrotary.org/events/using-social-media-ai-to-promote-your-business/
 
The Rotary Club of Lake Zurich is pleased to welcome Megan Lantz, Senior Operations Manager at Bernie’s Book Bank, for a featured presentation on the organization’s impactful work in transforming children’s stories. Bernie's Book Bank creates pathways to success through book ownership. We empower children to gain knowledge, explore new ideas, and strengthen reading skills. Reading is the single most important skill a child needs. Yet many children lack access to books, especially books of their own. 
 
Megan will share insights on their mission, operations, and the ways community members can support their efforts. To learn more please come to our Rotary Club meeting at 6 p.m. on Monday, March 24 or visit Bernie’s Book Bank.
 
 
 
Instead of our regular club meeting on Monday, February 24th, we rolled up our sleeves for a FUN service project supporting the Lake County Forest Preserve. Our club spent the day at Cuba Marsh, removing invasive species and helping restore the natural habitat, making a lasting impact on this local treasure.
 
 

Please sign up to Volunteer for LZ Rotary Club's Monthly Book Giveaway!

We'll be giving away books on the third Thursday of every month and we need Rotarians and Interactors to help! We'll be giving books to needy children starting at 5:00 p.m. at the Lake Zurich Food Pantry, St. Vincent de Paul Community Center, 135 S. Buesching Rd., Lake Zurich.  We'll be done by 6:00 p.m. This is a very important project because if parents don't have money for food, they certainly won't buy books. But kids who read, succeed. 

LZ Rotary Members and Friends of Rotary who want to volunteer can sign up using this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F4CABAB2AA31-50462740-book#/ or you can simply stop by and see all the good we're doing. We encourage you to do that, especially if you have never been to the LZ Community Food Pantry before. 

District 95 & SECA Interact Club students who want to volunteer can sign up using this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F4CABAB2AA31-book#/
