Waukesha Sunrise Rotary Club recently completed the “Healthy Teeth for Tots & Teens” project, a volunteer program funded through a $3000 grant approved by Rotary District 6270. The monetary portion of the grant covered material costs for 300 of the 10,000 disposable PPE dental supply packets, aka "burritos", utilized annually for children of low-income families in the Waukesha community served by Community Smiles Dental. The burrito packets each contain 9 PPE materials critical to serving patient needs during their visit, including a chair cover, toothbrush attachment, dental floss, toothpaste and other necessities.

We presented Hanneke Deeken with our annual Community Service Award.

Pictured left to right Renee Ramirez, Hanneke Deeken an Barb Berndt

   It was the lack of access to dental care for kids who were experiencing dental pain that Ms. Deeken knew she had to do something to address the problem; create a dental clinic with a focus on state insured and uninsured kids. She gathered the experts together to assess the need to make plans for a dental clinic. She led the collaboration efforts with Marquette Dental School, WCTC’s dental hygiene faculty, representatives from the HMOs, public health, and consulted with the state’s Department of Health and Human Services and many local dentists. She collected advice on systems that other communities in Wisconsin had put together to provide service, and a few models from other states as well. She coordinated several site visits to community clinics around the state. She secured substantial support from ProHealth Care to assist with fund raising and drafting a business plan. She worked tirelessly to take a dream into reality.
   She has selflessly and compassionately donated hundreds of hours of her time so that disadvantaged children and adults who live in Waukesha County have access to affordable dental care.
   More than 10,000 Waukesha County residents have benefited from Ms. Deeken’s dream of having a dental clinic for low income families in Waukesha County.

We donated $500.00 to a charity of Hanneke's choice, of course it was the dental clinic!

The Waukesha Sunrise Rotary Presidency was handed over to Mark Mattiacci.

Barb Berndt was awarded a plaque for her service. Tamie Koop swore in Mark.

Mark will be the guest speaker at Waukesha Sunrise Rotary Club’s Tuesday morning meeting

April 5, 2016. Waukesha Sunrise Rotary meets at 7:00 AM at The Machine Shed. Guests are welcome!

Mark Johnson grew up in Luling, Louisiana, and St. Louis, and graduated from the University of Colorado in 1974. Armed with a bachelor’s degree in English, he worked as a carpenter, cement finisher, short-order cook, bartender, cabbie, trucker, sales rep, and freelance writer (columnist and features for the ProRodeo Sports News, and Colorado Springs Sun, among others) until he stumbled into his first career with United Way.
Johnson served as campaign and public relations director for Pikes Peak United Way, executive director of United Way of Waukesha County, Wisconsin, and CEO of the United Way of Southwest Alabama. After working for United Way for over two decades and raising a career total of over $100 million for nonprofit health and human services, in 2002 Johnson chucked it all for a badge and a gun and 13 bucks an hour with the Mobile Police Department. He was 50.
As a sworn officer — six years in uniformed patrol, six years as a detective — Johnson received numerous Chief’s and Commander’s citations for meritorious arrests, and was decorated for Excellent Police Duty (three times, for initiatives resulting in a 33 percent crime reduction in targeted area, apprehension and conviction of a burglary ring responsible for 83 residential burglaries, and for solo arrests and convictions of those responsible for over $50,000 in commercial thefts), Chief’s Unit Medal (for highest local and regional case clearance), Meritorious Service Medal (exceptional service involving grave danger: the apprehension of an escaped cop killer) and the Wounded in Service Medal (for wounds received while engaged in personal combat with an armed adversary in a manner reflecting courage and honor). He also received a handful of “performance observations” and citizen complaints, usually related to inappropriate radio traffic, car wrecks and demeanor issues.

The Morris St facility is a holistic-based training center for students and experienced law enforcement officers to practice and learn specialty skills. The facility includes rooms that are set up to mimic possible crime scenes, for example, a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room; a technology lab equipped with projectors that can project a variety of high-risk scenarios; and a mat room where officers can train how to work with uncooperative suspects. The center also lends itself to a variety of other high-level training scenarios.
Thanks to Brian Dorow and Mike Neuens for our tour.

Waukesha Sunrise Rotary Club along with Waukesha North High School Interact Club partnered with Girl Scout Troop 4678 at Swanson Elementary School in the Winter Gear Drive created to help the Troop earn their Bronze Award, the highest award a Junior Girl Scout can achieve.  The Drive benefitted the Waukesha Public Schools in providing winter gear to those students in need.  Over 250 coats, mittens, and boots were collected and donated.

Waukesha Sunrise Rotarian's volunteer at the Food Pantry the fourth Thursday of every month. Recognizing that all children do not have the means for a festive birthday celebration, our Club donated the time to fill birthday bags. Complete with cake, candles, plates, napkins, etc., every child under 12 has an opportunity now to make their day a little more extra special.

Forming friendships and networks through service to others.

Waukesha Sunrise Rotary Club invites you or a representative(s) of your business to attend our Open House Breakfast. The Open House is scheduled for January 31, 2012 at 7:00 am – 8:15 am at the Country Springs Hotel, located at 2810 Golf Road, Waukesha.

Waukesha Sunrise Rotarians have been out and about in the community making a difference in this 2011 holiday season.

Over $600 was collected from club Rotarians to sponsor turkeys or hams in the Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets.  This sponsorship was granted to the Waukesha Food Pantry.

Just completed was the annual Bell Ringing for the Waukesha branch of the Salvation Army.  Rotarians, spouses and friends rang the familiar sounding bell of the Salvation Army for 12 shifts, over 2 days at one of the local grocery stores.

Additionally – Waukesha Sunrise Rotary adopted 3 families with 10 children in the annual Christmas Clearing Council efforts.  These three families will have a brighter holiday season.  Individual and club donations of over $600.00 made this effort possible for the 10 children to have a brighter Christmas.

Waukesha Sunrise Rotary was awarded a grant from the Rotary International District 6270, which will help fund a family birthday celebration for children.  This effort was done with the Waukesha Food Pantry as a partner.  Rotarians will be sorting the food items for the Birthday bags to make each child special on their birthday!
