President's Message
Ellen MacFarlane

The hiatus is over, and we are back at Ozaukee Country Club for Tuesday's meeting.  Plan ahead to arrive on time so you won't be rushed eating lunch.  Remember our action plan?  The recommendation is that we start our meeting promptly at 12:15 p.m.  James Schowalter, Washington State Bank, and Daryl Kranich, Downtown Pizza, will be the featured speakers.  Learn their perspectives on starting a new business in Thiensville.

Not to be outdone....it is Pi Day!  Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159.

Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point. As an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue infinitely without repetition or pattern. While only a handful of digits are needed for typical calculations, Pi’s infinite nature makes it a fun challenge to memorize, and to computationally calculate more and more digits.

What Is the Power Formula for LinkedIn Success?

Using a combination of humor and questions, Breitbarth pointed out  that your LinkedIn profile is as important, if not more important, that your resume' if you are in the market for a new position.  So why not indicate that you are a Rotarian?  Use key words to make your profile shine and set yourself apart from the competition.

District Conference 2017
Mark your calendars for June 1 - June 3, 2017 - You WILL NOT want to miss this year's amazing activities and speakers.  Early bird registration will begin on March 16 and run through May 1st.  

In addition to four breakout sessions, ranging in topics from Millennials to creating an impactful public image, there will be fellowship opportunities at locations highlighting some of Milwaukee's favorite restaurants.  Also, on Friday afternoon there will several bus tours, including everything Milwaukee - Golfing, Harley Davidson Plant/Museum, St. Josaphat Basilica, a Brewery tour and more.  Since March is Water and Sanitation Month, I would be remiss in not mentioning that one of these tours is a trip to the UWM Great Lakes Water Institute and School of Freshwater Science.

We have fascinating keynote speakers, fabulous meals,  and a special Milwaukee County Zoo Run/Walk for the entire family scheduled for Saturday morning.

Many of these activities have a sign-up limit - so don't delay your registration.  A brochure describing this entire District Conference will be available on our website in the "Site Pages" section early next week.   A registration link will also be posted and activated on March 16th.  We are excited to have all of you join us - mark your calendar today.
