Ukraine Update - Tues July 14 6 pm WI Ukrainians, Inc. Halyna Salapata and World Affairs Delegate Oleksandr Tolchynski

Oleksandr Tolchynski will be a Junior at New Berlin West this fall. RC MKE Amigos After Hours sponsored his attendance at this years' World Affairs Seminar where he joined other teens for a week experience at Carroll College to develop greater awareness and tools to work toward world peace.

He will share what the experience was like and what he gained from it.

Tuesday, August 11 6 p.m. - 7 p.m. In-person or Zoom District 6270 Governor 2026-2027 Dawn Fiedler

Dawn will provide an engaging program for members and member-curious alike. We hope that most will try to attend in person followed by optional "at your own expense" dinner on the rooftop of the Milwaukee Athletic Club.

DG Dawn became a member of the Rotary Club of Delavan-Darien in February 2015 after being told that she needed to join Rotary. The moment she stepped into her first meeting, she felt an immediate sense of belonging. Due to a change in employers, Dawn later transferred to the Rotary Club of Elkhorn.

As part of her preparations as a president-nominee, Dawn attended the 2017 District Conference. During a workshop on human trafficking, her life took a new direction. Inspired by the experience, she founded the 501(c)3 non-profit Join the Movement Events, Inc. (JTM), initially focused on raising awareness of human trafficking in rural communities.

DG Dawn will also install our new 2026-27 President Angela Rester and the board of directors. We thank 2025-26 President Fessahaye Mebrahtu for his service and continued enthusiasm for Rotary.
