People in the news: Amber Swenor and Samantha Huss
Amber Swenor and her niece Samantha Huss were both featured in the Fair Edition of the Shawano Leader.
Amber won the Emereth Brunner scholarship in 2006, then spent a semester abroad in Africa and spoke to Rotary about her experience. She previously served as Fairest of the Fair for Shawano County and the State of Wisconsin. She volunteered again at the 2008 fair.
Samantha was our Club’s outbound student and reported to us on her year abroad.
This year she was named Fairest of the Fair for Shawano County and had many appearances at the local fair. James Habeck.
New Member !! Rhonda Strebel.
Most Shawano County farmers may not look like the Beach Boys, but both have been known to ask for help from Rhonda.
Our Rhonda has been helping area farmers with health care tests and information the last five years, after getting degrees in sports medicine at Concordia and hotel management at Fox Valley Tech.
Rhonda grew up on a farm near Cecil and still enjoys gardening at her Shawano home with her husband Eugene “Hugs” Strebel. She also enjoys snowmobiling, traveling and entertaining at home.
How much time Rhonda has at home is debatable, since she spends volunteer time with Healthy Shawano County Initiative, Leadership Shawano County, a Dairy Promotions group and the Shawano Country Chamber Foundation.
Rhonda first attended a Rotary meeting as a guest speaker and shows promise for fine tuning our gourmet popcorn service at the flea market.

Quotes, Football Theme !!
“The secret is to work less as individuals and more as a team. As a coach, I play not my eleven best, but my best eleven.” - Knute Rockne (Legendary Notre Dame Fighting Irish head coach)
“Being in politics is like being a football coach. You have to be smart enough to understand the game, and dumb enough to think it’s important.” - Eugene J. McCarthy (former U.S. Congressman and unsuccessful Presidential candidate)
“Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.” - Erma Bombeck
“If you aren’t fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.” - Vince Lombardi (legendary Green Bay Packer head coach)
“He doesn’t know the meaning of the word fear, but then again he doesn’t know the meaning of most words.”
- Bobby Bowden (Florida State University Seminole head coach and NCAA all-time leader in wins)
“Football incorporates the two worst elements of American society: violence punctuated by committee meetings.” - George F. Will (Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for The Washington Post)
