The MFR kickoff party was so much fun this past Saturday!! There were 110 people and many folks came dressed in 1920’s outfits!! The decorations were amazing and Norwood Pines truly felt like a throwback to that era of time! There were so many comments about how much fun this particular party was that next year’s theme might be challenging!! We say it so often, but it has to be repeated…….we can’t thank Tom & John Teichmiller and their staff at Norwood Pines enough for everything they do for us. Not only for our club kickoff party but throughout the year as well! Thank you again!!! An added bonus was having 3 members of The Lakeland Minocqua Rotary Club (Zac Olson, Sue Morris & Val Susor) present our club with a very generous donation of $6,000!!! This check was a thank you for all of the help the Minocqua Forest Riders provided during Minocqua’s Beef-A-Rama event by setting up and tearing down the beer garden tent along with helping serve food & beverages!!! THANK YOU LAKELAND ROTARY!! https://www.lakelandnoonrotary.org/ https://www.facebook.com/lakeland.noon/
