Member Highlight – Andrea Lamann
Connect and Serve! Andrea joined Southtowne in 2006 after a lunch meeting with a Rotarian, recommended by a mutual acquaintance. Motivated by a desire to support the community, she served as president the year 2012/2013. Andrea says she she has especially enjoyed participating in local community projects like Fairfield Family Days and helping pack school backpacks.
Originally from Portland, Oregon, Andrea works in the commercial insurance industry. She describes herself as “stubborn, caring, and kind.” Outside of work, she loves cooking, exploring new restaurants, visiting the Coast, and strolling through farmers markets with her husband, Rocky.
Budgeting Process Clarified
Southtowne’s budget committee has put together a preliminary budget for the upcoming Rotary Year (which starts July 1st). Before finalizing the budget, we will be reaching out to committee chairs to seek their input on their needs. We are hoping to present the final budget to the Board at the June meeting, allowing us to make requests for funding from the Foundation, in time for the year to start!
If you head a committee that has budget needs for next year, please contact Patric Miller or Randy Bernstein, and we will add it to our agenda! We work hard for our funding, and we want to make sure that everyone’s needs are met as our funding allows.

Literacy Projects Finish With a Caterpillar Crawl!
Southtowne literacy project with Head Start closed with a caterpillar activity. Karen Fretwell’s niece had her 4-H group make the egg carton caterpillars for 90 Head Start kids! The kids decorated with paint and markers! Travis Misfeldt and Ron Sticka wrote original caterpillar songs to go with the story!
Thanks to Pat Anderson, Cheryl Green Clancy Jim and Karen Fretwell, Doug Mozan, Kathi Hoffer and Camille Ronzio for being part of this playful joyous team!
A great time was had by all! Teachers at Head Start expressed their gratitude for having us come this year.
