The Lake Zurich Rotary Club is pleased to announce the kick-off of our 1st Annual NFL Super Bowl Squares Fundraising Pool with a chance to win up to $3,000! In addition to making the game more exciting to watch, you will be helping our club continue to provide support and funding for the ongoing community and global projects we are involved with. NFL Teams: NFC Championship Team vs. AFC Championship Team (TBD) Sales Dates: Monday, January 22, 2024 to Saturday, February 10, 2024 Buy-in Per Square: $50 (with 100 squares available) Payment Methods: Cash, Check (payable to Lake Zurich Rotary Club), VENMO using the QR Code below* *please include your name and square number(s) chosen in the notes section. How it Works: - Players will select their square(s) online, by clicking on the link above or below and completing the “sign-up” information requested. If you have previously used the “Run Your Pool” website, you can choose the “sign-in” option instead and use your existing credentials to log-in. Once logged in, you will click on the box that reads “Lake Zurich Rotary Club Fundraiser” and that will take you to the squares grid (see image below).
 - Once on the grid page, you can select any available squares numbered 1 – 100 and your name will automatically be assigned to that square(s). This is on a first-come, first-serve basis, based on the remaining squares available at time of your selection.
- Once all of the squares have been selected, we will lock the board and the numbers will be randomly chosen (0-9) and assigned to the grid for each quarter and for each team.
- The final grid, with all assigned squares, numbers, and teams will be available to all participants NO LATER THAN Saturday, February 10th at 10:00pm.
- Please check the MESSAGE BOARD available on our page, so you can stay up-to-date on information being shared with participants.
Ways to Win: END OF QUARTER SCORE: The winner is determined by the last number of each team's score at the end of each quarter (4 quarters in total) and matching those numbers to the corresponding square on the grid. If the 4th quarter ends in a tie, the game will go into over-time and the 4th quarter winner will be determined by the FINAL game score. $500 per quarter for a total of $2,000 in payouts REVERSE END OF QUARTER SCORE: The winner is determined by the last number of each team’s score at the end of each quarter (4 quarters in total) and matching those numbers, IN REVERSE, to the corresponding square on the grid. If the 4th quarter ends in a tie, the game will go into over-time and the 4th quarter winner will be determined by the FINAL game score, IN REVERSE. $100 per quarter for a total of $400 in payouts SCORE CHANGES THROUGH-OUT GAME: $600 will be set aside to pay the winners for every score change throughout the game. Example: NFC team scores a TD resulting in 6-0 score- this will determine the first winner. An extra point is earned for the TD kick, resulting in another change to 7-0 score – this determines the second winner. Starting score of 0-0 does not pay. The pool of funds available will be divided by the number of winners, based on how many score changes take place through-out the game, including any over-time. Example: There are 10 score changes throughout the game, which will result in 10 winners earning $60 each. $600 in total payouts Please feel free to share this information (email) with anyone that you feel would like to participate, while also supporting the Lake Zurich Rotary Club.

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.

 Join Lake Zurich Rotary for a fascinating meeting this Monday February 6th, 6:30 pm, at Ela Library. This is a hybrid meeting. Please send an email request to lzrotary@gmail.com to request the Zoom link. At the February 6 Rotary Meeting at the Ela Library, Lauren Rosenthal and Yolanda Prado of the Ela Libary will talk about a new initiative the Ela Library is launching this spring: a partnership with Rotary in support of the new Rotary pillar: Sustainability. We will be educating the public about the importance of solitary bees -- 90% of Illinois bees are solitary bees (meaning they do not live in hives like honey and bumble bees do), and the most common is the Mason Bee. With nearly 40% of bees facing extinction today, in spring 2023, the library and Rotary will encourage patrons to cultivate Illinois’ Mason Bee population by building bee houses. Similar to birdhouses, bee houses are relatively simple in form, consisting of a birdhouse-like structure containing a series of exposed, reed-like tubes that the bees can lay their eggs in. We’ll be using the instructions from the U of I College of Agricultural instructions using recycled and eco-friendly materials like paper tubes, paper, natural clay, steel cans, and natural wood. Each bee home will be etched with the library logo and the Rotary logo using our Makerspace GlowForge equipment. In addition, we plan to sponsor speakers to educate the public about the importance of Mason Bees. At the Rotary meeting on February 6 we’ll have the Ela Library’s Makerspace Coordinator Yolanda Prado as a speaker, explaining the project and showing a sample bee house. Yolanda is in charge of the Library’s Makerspace, and is an expert at the GlowForge & 3D printers we have available for the public.

Lots of people have told me they are volunteering for this but I don't have a lot of completed registrations. Click the link below to volunteer for the Softball Throw/Tennis Ball Throw at Special Olympics on May 6. You have to create an account AND select a volunteer slot. The link is specifically designated for us. Please volunteer now!  Once again this year, we will be participating in the Special Olympics Baseball/Tennis Ball/Javelin Throw on the first Sunday in May. It's always a wonderful community service activity for us. If you've volunteered before, you can even get your old job back. Deadline to volunteer: April 1. Plus, this year, they have moved from LZHS to a much larger venue at Prospect Heights High School. Fortunately, not too far down the road. And they are also asking us to use a different way to volunteer, by signing up individually. You must use this form to volunteer this year: We currently have 25 slots assigned, so please volunteer before April 1 to guarantee your place! Let's show them how it's done!

Join us this Friday when our guest speaker will be author and management consultant, Robert Beezat, where he will discuss his book, Character-Based Management: Key to More Productive and Effective Organizations. The behind the book ties in with Rotary's Four-Way Test -- what makes us a good or bad boss are the behaviors we call a person’s character. Beezat believes that we can improve our character, and thereby improve our organization’s effectiveness and productivity as well as our job satisfaction. Beezat has managed a broad range of organizations in business, government, and the not for profit sectors. As a management consultant, he has worked with over 350 public, private, and not-for-profit organizations around the country. He spoke to our club several years ago about his first book, Knowing and Loving. His books will be available for purchase the day of the meeting.

We are looking for volunteers for two events Special Olympics is having a bowling event on Sunday May 21 at Brunswick Bowl. Shifts are 8 am to noon and 11:30 to 4. You can also volunteer for the whole day. Each volunteer takes charge of a lane and helps with any problems that arise. Contact Nancy Shepardson as soon as possible. The second event is ColorVibe 5k scheduled for May 21 in Paulus Park. The great thing about this request is that we have an opportunity to earn money for the club which can be put toward the End Polio Now fund, which we are short on. They are looking for 6-10 volunteers for race packet pick-up and registration on Saturday, May 20 from noon – 5:30 pm, and then preferably the same 6-10 volunteers on Sunday from 6:30 am to approximately 10 am for on-site registration and then to pass out water to runners. We are currently just under $1,000 short of our stated commitment for the End Polio Now fund. We committed to donate $1,500 and currently have only raised $525. 10 volunteers for this event will generate $500 for us. Volunteers can include your spouse, children old enough to deal with registration activity, friends, co-workers, etc

This week's speakers will be five students from Lake Zurich High School who recently attended Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, RYLA. They will talk about the experience and what they learned. The Rotary's website says, "RYLA events are organized locally by Rotary clubs and districts for participants ages 14-30. Depending on community needs, RYLA may take the form of a one-day seminar, a three-day retreat, or a weeklong camp. Typically, events last 3-10 days and include presentations, activities, and workshops covering a variety of topics." The five students, Sydney Shadrick (senior) , Jessica Mueller, Julia Wol (Sophmore), Alyson Wisnioski, and Chloe Faris will tell us the specifics of their event. They were sponsored by the Lake Zurich Rotary Club.

Join us Friday as we welcome Rich Lalley, Executive Director of Operation Warm and Denise Rasbid to our meeting. They will speak on their efforts nationally and specifically within the Lake Zurich area.
Denise leads the local team which has given new Operation Warm coats to nearly 4,000 children living in need in Lake and Northern Cook County.
Dick Sanford started in 1998 with the help of the local Longwood Rotary Club to distribute 58 coats. Since then, Operation Warm has partnered with other Rotary clubs to assist in its distribution efforts. Today, over 230 clubs have provided 160,000+ children with winter coats.
Mr. Sanford started Operation Warm, with the belief that children born in poverty have less than a fair chance to thrive. They greatly appreciate organizations which supply “gently worn” garments.

There are only a couple weeks left to the 2016 Lake Zurich's Farmer's Market. We are still need weekly volunteers.
Volunteers are needed each week to staff the booth selling beer, wine and water.
I recommend a minimum of 2 club members each shift (2:45 – 5 pm / 5 – 7 pm) each week. The last Farmers Market is September 9. So that’s 14 more weeks with 2 shifts/week = 28 shifts with 2 volunteers/shift = 56 volunteers. That’s twice as many volunteer shifts as what we have club members. So I would like to suggest that every club member work no less than one shift two different weeks.
Here is a link to a signup genius page for you to sign up for the weeks and shifts you’re able to help.
You are encouraged to wear a Rotary shirt (if you have one) when you work a shift. This event is not just a fundraising activity for the club but also a great potential recruiting tool.

More than Just Beautiful: Promoting World Peace Through Cranes
Hall Healy, former chairman of the International Crane Foundation in Baraboo, WI, is trying to save rare crane species in North Korea by training farmers to plant sustainable crops and give the leftovers to the craines. His talk, "An Alternative to Nukes on the Korean Peninsula" will show how volunteerism and a small amount of funding can have a big impact on the environment.
Healy will talk about the International Crane Foundation crane habitat restoration and sustainable farming project that has been going on since 2008. This is the kind of project can be used to help improve dialogue between countries like North and South Korea an promote Rotary's ideal of world peace.
Healy, a resident of Glencoe, was the chairman of the International Crane Foundation from 2010 to 2014. The Foundation is dedicated to preserving the fifteen species of cranes and their habitats on five continents.

Noel Ilkow of Nonie's Bees in Crystal Lake will be speaking to us on Friday April 15 about bees and why we should care about them. (Hint: they are essential to our food supply.)
Noel’s love of bees began when her grandfather would take her to visit his bee yard located in the valley below their home. Many years later a friend of Noel’s gave her a bee hive and her love of bees and the family legacy was reborn. Noel now has 10 hives, four of which are located on an organic farm in Wisconsin.
For Noel, the best part of bee keeping is being able to educate people, especially young people, about the importance of bees, the fragility of the bee population, how the bees impact the health of our earth, and what we can do to help our bees survive. It is with this new-found knowledge she hopes to foster the next generation of bee keepers.
In 2016, Noel is embarking on an ambitious program to distribute 10,000 bee blossom seed bombs. Seed bombs are a simple gardening solution to grow indigenous pollinating plants. The motto of this program is “Let’s help save the bees so they can help save the world.”

Forest Preserve Executive to Speak at Lake Zurich Rotary Friday
Rebekah Synder, chief development officer of the Lake County Forest Preserves will speak to the Lake Zurich Rotary Club on Friday. Synder’s talk, “The Value of the Forest Preserves” will trace how Lake County residents came to have 30,700 acres of open space to enjoy.

Each year more than 3.5 million enjoy the preserves or benefit from programs, even after eight years of declining public funds. She'll tell us how they've managed to thrive by being economical with taxpayer dollars.
Synder, who works to attract private, non-profit and corporate funds to the Forest Preserves, has worked for the county since 2012. She has also worked for the Nature Conservancy and the Chicago Botanical Gardens.

DEER PARK AUTHOR JIM PROBSTLE TO SPEAK
Jim Proebstle, a popular speaker at our club a few years ago stops by this Friday to discuss his newest book.
 Unintended Impact: One Athlete's Journey from Concussions in Amateur Football to CTE Dementia is a creative, non-fiction story capturing the tragic and complex struggle of a star athlete's life as a byproduct of concussions received in high school and college football. While players, parents and coaches are past the period of not knowing of the danger of concussions, this story is an imperative reminder of the long-term impact of concussions that cannot be ignored. Football has major benefits for players in growing as adults and accepting responsibilities, which only underscores the increased need for player safety.
Jim Proebstle’s first two novels have received outstanding reviews from readers and industry professionals. They have been recognized with awards from the Eric Hoffer Award, the Indie Book Award, and the International Book Award.
He and his wife, Carole, live in Deer Park, IL and call northern Minnesota home for the summer months.

Ret. Col. Jill Morgenthaler to Speak on Leadership
On September 18, Retired Army Colonel Jill Morgenthaler will speak to the club about her new book, The Courage to Take Command: Leadership Lessons from a Military Trailblazer. Colonel Morgenthaler will pass along leadership lessons drawn from her three decades of military service--from her first days in ROTC to combat in some of the world's most dangerous war zones. Ironically, the military taught her that leadership isn’t about "command and control." Rather, it requires a fine balance of reason and emotion, distance and familiarity, hard and soft power.
The Courage to Take Command provides the strategies and tactics you need to follow through with your leadership vision, inspire your team, and execute your mission―even when the odds may seem overwhelming.
Col. Morgenthaler was the first woman battalion commander in the 88th Regional Support Command; she was the first woman brigade commander in the 84th Division; and she was the first female Homeland Security Advisor for the State of Illinois. The Colonel handled disaster recovery during the San Francisco earthquake, worked as a peacekeeper in Bosnia, and sheltered Kosovar refugees. For her leadership performance in Iraq in 2004, she received the Bronze Star. Plus, she was invited to give a TED talk on her book, a great honor. Watch it at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuoQE3-BTMw

This Friday, January 16, Sandy Sullivan will speak to the Lake Zurich Rotary Club about her experiences working for Vince Lombardi of the Green Bay Packers and how his philosophy of “It ain’t over until it’s over” influenced her life. Her book, Green Bay Love Stories, has been acknowledged as a significant historical account of the Packers Glory Years and the foreword is written by Packers Hall of Fame great, Paul Hornung.
A reviewer said: “It is doubtful if another woman has so openly and boldly shared with us her personal and private experiences with a professional football team. In fact, few women have had the opportunity or ability to fit in with the "guys" and create friendships which have endured for a lifetime.”
Sandy Sullivan, a life-long Wisconsin resident, is a teacher, businesswoman and motivational speaker. Copies of her book, some signed by Green Bay Packers greats, will be on sale at the Rotary meeting.
The Lake Zurich Rotary Club meets at 12:15 p.m. on Fridays for lunch at the Holiday Inn Express, 197 S. Rand Rd., Lake Zurich.

My Year of Beds Author to speak to Lake Zurich Rotary Friday
 Annette Jahnel, the South African author of My Year of Beds, is visiting the Lake Zurich Rotary Club on Friday as part of her world book tour. She was the first woman to circle the globe by car and the book is her tale of the people she met, the traffic jams she endured, and the beds she occupied, mostly in private homes.
“My purpose was - and is - to keep people aware of the fact that in spite of many interesting (and sometimes conflicting) differences... we remain a single family on a very small planet.” She has spoken at many Rotary Clubs because her philosophy is very simiar to the Rotarian way of thinking.
Her presentation is part travelogue, part motivational speech. “If you’ve ever dreamed about stepping out into a real life adventure – but never quite found the time,” Annette says, “I invite you to join the quest.”
The Lake Zurich Rotary Club meets on Fridays for lunch at 12:15 at the Holiday Inn Express, 195 S. Rand Rd., Lake Zurich. First-time guests eat for free.
