Thanks to a generous $1,000 sponsorship from Advanced Comfort Systems, Inc. and Carrier, Early Bird Rotary was able to donate $1,500 to the 31st Annual Coats for Kids community service campaign, for the purchase of new winter coats.
This sponsorship, combined with individual donations from Early Bird Club members and the Tom Bartz family, will be used to purchase new coats for Sheboygan County residents who would otherwise go without.
Thank you also to club member Mike Reinbold and Reinbold-Novak Funeral Home for many years of service to our community through their sponsorship of this program.
If you would like to donate a new coat to the campaign, or know someone who is in need of one, go to centralusa.salvationarmy.org/sheboygan/coats-for-kids-1/

Not unlike other places in the state and country, our area has been devastated by the invasion of the Emerald Ash Borer. In collaboration with ROOTS (Restoration of our Trees Sheboygan) and the Lakeshore Natural Resource Partnership, Sheboygan Rotary and Sheboygan Early Bird Rotary received Rotary District 6270 matching grants for the replacement of the diseased trees in six City of Sheboygan parks.
On October 3, 2020, approximately thirty Rotarians and District representatives joined forces for a recognition ceremony and the planting of twenty-seven trees in Area 5 of Evergreen Park. Led by City Forester Tim Bull, City of Sheboygan Public Works employees prepared the sites for the trees and distributed all materials needed for planting.
It was a great collaborative effort of both clubs, our district, and the City of Sheboygan. Tree replacement in this park is particularly meaningful since our annual Making Spirits Bright lights display is held there during the holidays. Hats off to all who participated.
