Recap
Thanks to Lynn Fiala and Al Schmitt for organizing the 2025 Tom Nuelle Memorial Golf Outing this past Friday at Woodstock Country Club. The weather was ideal for the scramble and many Rotarians and Friends of Rotary enjoyed the 9-hole course.
 
Congratulations to the foursome with the best score after the Peoria method:
  • Meg Bennett 
  • Laura Cullota
  • Denise Graff-Ponstein 
  • Rose Schnulle 
Kudos to the Golden Hatchet recipients:
  • Ron Jarvis

Wondering how to stay busy?
 
Thursday, Oct 9Who let the dogs out?
While the weather still cooperates, head to Squire on the Square for Paws on the Patio tomorrow night (Thursday, Oct 9, 5-7pm). A portion of the evening’s proceeds to benefit the Helping Paws Animal Shelter.
 
And after you tuck in your pooches safely at home…...
 
Thursday, Oct 9: Who doesn’t like beer and pizza?
Truth be told – I’ll take pizza any day but would trade the beer for wine. Although someone once told me they could find a beer I liked. They haven’t succeeded (yet).
 
Join in on the fun and raise money for CCH tomorrow night (Thursday, Oct 9, 5-9pm) at Kishwaukee Brewing. Tammy and Lisa are offering up their delicious My Sister’s Tomato pizza with 20% of proceeds donated to CCH!
 
Friday, Oct 10: BOO!
Starting this Friday, join the Woodstock Ghost Walk by American Ghost Walks (Friday/Saturday, Oct 10-11; 17-18; 24-25; 31, 7:30-9pm) for a thrilling 90-min journey into the ghost stories of Woodstock! Click here for tickets.  
 
Thursday, Oct 16: Winter Olympics already?
The 2026 Winter Olympics kick off on February 6 in Italy, but we have a chance to see Bonnie Blair, the most decorated US Woman in Winter Olympic History at the Woodstock Opera House on Thursday, October 16 as part of the Creative Living Series (sponsored by the Woodstock Fine Arts Association).
 
Blair, a Champaign, IL native, has five gold medals, one bronze, and now The Order of Lincoln (2025). She’ll recount the grit, focus, and heart that powered her record-breaking runs.
 
Each program begins with coffee and conversation at 9am in Stage Left. The Speaker begins at 10am on the Opera House Stage. Click here for tickets.
 
Sunday, Oct 19Walk! Don’t Run!
The Family Health Partnership Clinic hosts the 25th annual Care4 Breast Cancer 5K Run/Walk on Sunday Oct 19 at Woodstock North High School. I’ve “walked” many of those 25 years and plan to do so again. Click here to register.
 
Saturday, Oct 25Don’t Whine! Drink Wine!
The 2025 Woodstock Wine Walk takes place on Saturday, Oct 25 from 1-5pm on the Woodstock Square. New this year: Each attendee will receive a complimentary bottle of wine! What a deal! Click here for tickets.
It’s not just Friday Night Lights
 
College football is in high gear with “The” Ohio State still at #1.
 
My favorite teams (Notre Dame, #16) and Wisconsin have great games this weekend.
 
ND plays North Carolina State in South Bend at 2:30pm Saturday. There is nothing like seeing Touchdown Jesus from the stands.
 
The Badgers take on the University of Iowa for a night game, and I get to be part of the action. Of course, “Jump Around” is a favorite but the 5th quarter is where the magic happens. It’s always a party in the stands at Camp Randall.
 
Although I grew up in Iowa, my grandma and two of my four kids graduated from UW Madison, so I’ll be cheering “ON WISCONSIN!
