$1,500 Raised for 31st Annual Coats for Kids

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/

Thank you for Making the 2021 Lobster Boil a Huge Success

Thank you to the sponsors and guests who helped this year's Sheboygan Early Bird Rotary Lobster Boil beat all-time records!

The grounds were overflowing with guests enjoying the music, sense of community, beverages, and gorgeous weather (sunny, clear and mild). Several teams peppered the park with their table decorating contest entries adding "festive" energy. The drive thru lane hummed with hungry and supportive guests as others enjoyed mingling in the order line on the grounds - or waiting for their "to go package" number to be called.

Attendance (measured in number of Lobster dinner sold) was in excess of 1,000 and many others enjoyed the options at the Food Court with burgers, brats, and other faire.

We hope to see you all again next year on July 15 at the 2021 Sheboygan Early Bird Rotary Club Lobster Boil.
