Dec 02, 2020 - Dec 12, 2020
The coolest race ever is going virtual for 2020!
Rotary After Hours' largest fundraiser, the Ugly Sweater 5k, is quickly approaching! To keep everyone safe, we will be going virtual this year. What that means is that registered participants can run or walk the 5k when it works for them and log their time between Wednesday, December 2 and Saturday, December 12. Gift cards will be sent to 1st and 2nd place in each age group.
Don't worry, we won't leave you in the dark. The trails in the La Crosse marsh will be lit Friday, December 4th and Saturday, December 5th from 4-8 pm! We will still have packet pick up for registrants with a one-of-a-kind Ugly Sweater swag gift and other goodies. Tell everyone to get those ugly sweaters out and join in for our online "Ugly Sweater Contest" on social media.

The All of Us Research Program wants to speed up health research and medical breakthroughs. To do this, they’re asking one million or more people to lead the way to provide the types of information that can help us create individualized prevention, treatment and care for all of us. “The All of Us Research Program aims to change the face of medical care from ‘one size fits all’ to one that takes into account our individual differences. It is one of the most ambitious projects sponsored by the National Institutes of Health,” said Murray Brilliant, Ph.D., former lead investigator for All of Us Wisconsin and director of the Center for Precision Medicine Research. “Our vision for All of Us Wisconsin is to offer the opportunity to join this program to the entire state. Our current sites are in La Crosse, Marshfield, Madison and Milwaukee. The Wisconsin consortium led by Marshfield Clinic Research Institute and joined by University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin, and Gundersen Health System, is spearheading enrollment in Wisconsin. People ages 18 and older, regardless of health status, are able to enroll. The Wisconsin consortium is a partner of the National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Research Program and is one of several regional networks across the country where individuals can enroll. To learn more, contact AllofUs@gundersenhealth.org, call (608) 775-2171, or visit joinallofus.org/Gundersen. Also follow our Facebook page at Facebook.com/AllofusGundersen.

Our December social will be a time to remember our RAH club member Dave Knutson who passed away a year ago on Dec 16th. Dave loved trivia and getting together with friends to be in top place as "Team Super Dave". He enjoyed attending our club socials and being a very active member of the club. We miss him greatly.
So what better way to remember Dave but to have a fun trivia night in his honor!
We will be doing both an in person and a virtual Zoom option for Trivia Night. Our awesome club member Lucas will be leading this fun event!
We will form teams ahead of time of 3 or 4 people. Sign up coming soon!
We will have the private area of Big Als and will have tables spaced appropriately. We should be able to have at least 6 in person teams and as many virtual.
Depending on Covid 19 precautions, this event is subject to change to all virtual but I wanted everyone to save the date now!
Pizza will be complimentary as well as drink tickets to each attendee. Festive Christmas attire, ugly sweaters and cheer encouraged!
