Fall is a time of change- changing leaves, changing wardrobes, changing priorities. Milwaukee summers are packed to the brim with activities and events, but fall provides a good opportunity to refocus. Our Rotaract year started July 1st, and we are now ramping up from a lighter summer schedule. We have a lot of exciting things planned- read on to find out more.

If you're not following us on social media...you should be. You'll get updates on upcoming events, behind-the scenes views, and interesting info from Rotaract groups all around the world. We are on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

August & September Recap

We said goodbye to summer with fun events in August & September. In August, we volunteered at Serve2Unite's Run/Walk, had a Social at Live @ the Lakefront, and hosted a rooftop cookout with spectacular views of Milwaukee. In September, we volunteered with ArtWorks MKE, and attended Dreamgirls YP Night at the Milwaukee Rep.

Have any ideas for upcoming events? We're always looking for people to help plan events, so let us know if you'd like to get involved.
Rotaract Around the World

World Polio Day: World Polio Day is Oct. 23rd! Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for over 30 years and we are now closer than ever to a polio-free world. In the past year, Nigeria has been declared polio-free, so the disease remains in only two countries: Afghanistan and Pakistan. On 10/23, Rotary and UNICEF will host a Livestream discussion with an update on the fight against polio
