Home Page | Manitowoc Noon Rotary

A huge thank you to Bank First for being the Title Sponsor of the Manitowoc Noon Rotary Winter Brewfest!

We were joined by three team members (Amanda, Alyssa, and Kelsey) from Bank First, who shared more about the bank’s strong commitment to our communities

Lakeshore Community Foundation Visitors

We were grateful to have the Lakeshore Community Foundation join us today at our club meeting to share its history, vision, and the positive impact it continues to make in our community.

Learning how a local foundation like LCF is investing in local causes helps our members better understand how thoughtful giving can drive meaningful change close to home. It’s encouraging to see how these efforts strengthen the very communities we live and work in.

Thank you, LCF, Rachel, and Jon, for the important work you do—and for taking the time to connect with us.

August 3 2023 The first Willard award was presented to Paul Marquardt. The Willard award is named after the extra-extraordinary Rotarian and human being Willard Bill Springer. We lost Bill almost a year ago, but not his spirit as his spirit lives on in all who knew him, especially his daughter Melissa 'Springer' Mecca, who carries on his Rotary Service Above Self as a member of Manitowoc Noon Rotary-Service Above Self. The first recipient of The Willard award is Paul Marquardt who has served the Manitowoc Community for decades and decades. First as our Postmaster. Paul joined Rotary while working, he has continued his commitment to Rotary throughout his retirement. You see Paul weekly at meetings, volunteering at all Rotary events, ringing bells for Salvation Army, counting money at the fair and telling the best stories! Congratulations Paul. Pictured are Paul Marquardt and Melissa 'Springer' Mecca.
