Here is what is happening in our club

By John Hewko, General Secretary and CEO of Rotary International

     Today is the one-year anniversary of the tragic war in Ukraine. It’s a war that never should have started. And it’s a conflict that has evolved into a non-stop humanitarian          catastrophe because the Russia strategy is now to inflict as much pain on the civilian population of Ukraine as possible.
     For a peace-based, humanitarian organization like Rotary, this type of conflict is heartbreaking. Yesterday was our 118th anniversary, and throughout our history, Rotary has   always stood on the side of promoting peace and rebuilding from the ashes of destruction. Peace is a central goal of Rotary, and we work tirelessly to help avoid and stop   armed conflicts. Our focus is on helping people in need and creating the conditions for lasting peace.
 
But now, the people of Ukraine are trapped in a humanitarian and refugee crisis at a scale not seen in Europe since the Second World War.
 
This conflict also hits me on a personal level. My parents are from Ukraine. They came to the United States in 1949 after having spent four years in a refugee camp in southern Germany. I grew up speaking Ukrainian at home, and my wife, Marga, and I lived in Ukraine from 1991 to 1996. In 1991-1992, I was privileged enough to play a small role in preparing the initial draft of Ukraine’s post-Soviet constitution and participating in the working groups that were developing the initial Ukrainian post-independence legislative initiatives. I still have a great deal of family, friends, and former colleagues there.
Last December, the Lander Rotary Club amended its Bylaws to establish corporate memberships, a new membership category, and we are happy to welcome our first corporate members!  A business or corporate member designates a "primary member" as its Rotarian member and may designate two alternate members to attend our meetings and participate in our service projects.   of Our first three corporate members are:
                                
 
  Leadership Wyoming: Tobey Schmidt grew up in Indiana before heading west to earn a journalism degree at the University of Arizona. 
  Her passions for outdoor adventures and photography took her to Alaska for a few summers, and she eventually made her way to Lander
  to work for Hermann Global. Now, years later, she proudly works for Leadership Wyoming and is the Board chair for the Lander Valley
  Farmers Market.  In her free time, she loves to sew leather bags for her small business, Wyoming Bag Company. 
  And...she’s getting married this fall!
 
 
  Wyoming Outdoor Council:  John Burrows is the Director of Energy and Climate Policy at the Wyoming Outdoor Council and works
  occasionally as a NOLS field instructor.    He is the president of Fremont County’s Trout Unlimited chapter and serves on the steering
  committee of the Lander Climate Action Network. John spent much of his childhood in North Carolina rambling down Appalachian
  backroads in search of good trout streams, long trail-runs, and backcountry adventures.  He attended college and graduate school at UNC
  Chapel Hill and Duke University.
 
Brandon Reynolds (Program Director) and Kristen Brown (Associate Director) will be the Outdoor Council’s initial alternate members.
 
 
  National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS): Jayme Blackburn is the Executive Assistant to the President (Rotarian Terri Watson) at
  NOLS and is a long time “Lander lover.” She’s spent a lot of time here over the last 40+ years, visiting her aunt, Linda Hudson, also a Rotarian,
  enjoying the 4th of July activities, and sending her two kids to camp at every opportunity.  She and her husband and two children, students
  at Lander Valley High School, moved here 3 1/2 years ago. As a Rotarian, Jayme is looking forward to being engaged in more community
  outreach, service work, and connection to the Lander community.her husband and two children, students at Lander Valley High School,
