Victory Garden Initiative builds communities that grow their own food, creating a socially just, ecologically sustainable, nutritious food system for all. Come hear from Montana about volunteer opportunities for our club to participate in helping others learn to grow their own food and work toward greater social equity. Montana shared this, "Urban agriculture benefits our communities through environmental, physical, mental, economic, and social means. VGI is first and foremost an educational organization that teaches people how to grow their own food, especially in the city. We also make growing food more accessible to people by installing gardens for them, providing garden mentors, and creating gardener communities. VGI does work throughout Milwaukee County and even Wisconsin, but we focus the majority of the money we raise on low-income neighborhoods and food deserts. We also operate an urban farm in the Harambee neighborhood of Milwaukee that we use for youth education and community engagement. VGI puts on a number of community events to raise awareness and engagement of urban agriculture throughout the year. Changing the health of our communities starts with changing the culture of them." Amigos Rotarians will be hearing from several organizations so that we can decide, as a club, where we would like to support and contribute our volunteer time and resources. Don't miss this meeting! Non-Rotarians and those who are Rotary-curious are invited to attend. |

Where it all began and all that it is still doing - Rotary is where neighbors, friends, and problem-solvers share ideas, join leaders, and take action to create lasting change. And Victory Garden Initiative builds communities that grow their own food, creating a socially just, ecologically sustainable, nutritious food system for all. Come hear from Montana Morris about volunteer opportunities for our club to participate in helping others learn to grow their own food and work toward greater social equity.

Learn more about Charlie the BEEvangilist at this story. A Milwaukee-native, Charlie “Charbee” Koenen is a serial entrepreneur, consummate teacher, and the Executive Director of BeeVangelists, a non-profit organization bringing a bee-centric vision regarding the plight of bees and the need to restore thriving hive communities in urban environments and beyond. Upon receiving a BFA in Graphic Design and studying Industrial Design at UW-Milwaukee in 1984, he jumped on the Apple Macintosh computer and began teaching people to “Think Different” about computers and desktop desktop digital technology. After helping start up several digital art departments in print, textile and media companies, he founded Third Millennium Design, an Apple Smart Studio that provided IT, training, equipment support and creative services for ad agencies, design departments and large scale brands throughout the Midwest and employed as many as 25 artists, technicians, teachers and sales consultants. In 2004 he walked away from the digital world to teach people to “Think Different” about bees. After six years of experimentation, Charlie turned conventional beekeeping on its side (literally) inventing the first Vented Top Bar Hive System, an alternative to the stacked box hive suited for urban beekeeping, and founded the company Beepods. Meanwhile bees started to make headlines by disappearing. Since founding BeeVangelists in 2016, Charlie has served to educate the public about beekeeping and advocate for bees establishing Community Supported Pollinators (CSPs) programs and working with private, public, and private institutions to install and care for urban apiaries. Bringing communities together, these apiaries can now be found in school campuses, church rooftops, retirement homes, golf courses, ecology centers, and numerous backyards throughout the Milwaukee area. |

URGENT - It is with deep regret that we postpone our planned Changing of the Guard (COG). A regular Rotary meeting will occur at Antigua Latin Inspired Kitchen at 6207 W National Ave, West Allis, WI 53214.
