2025 Pyramid City Run held on Saturday Sept. 13th to benefit Mind Over Mountains -UW Initiative to End Alzheimer'sThe Pyramid City Run 5K fun run was held on Saturday, September 13th, 2025 with the start and finish in Commons Park. This year we focused our action on Alzheimer's Research and are proud to help support The UW Initiative to End Alzheimer's team Minds over Mountains led by Dr Bill Stork. Dr. Bill Stork's journey to help find a cure for Alzheimer's began when a family member was affected. It continued after being introduced to the UW Initiative to End Alzheimer's and learning that "vigorous physical and mental activity are life habits that will contribute to painting mental acuity, delaying the onset of dementia and aging well." 100% of the proceeds (after expenses) will be donated to Minds over Mountains Team to help support the UW Initiative to End Alzheimers. When we say FUN RUN...we mean it! Look at how much fun the participants had at the run this year!
Thank you to all the Lake Mills Rotary Club Night Group for organizing the run, all the participants, numerous volunteers, and generous sponsors! Didn't attend the run but would still like to help? You can donate directly to Minds Over Mountains Team to support The UW Initiative to End Alzheimer's. Want to learn more about The UW Initiative to End Alzheimer's? |

Helping people with disabilities make their own musicMusic has been an important part of leading an ordinary life for students at the Music School for Children With Disabilities in Honor of Paul Harris in Lublin, Poland. Founded by Rotary members, the school serves 20 students with various disabilities, including Down syndrome, autism, and visual impairments. The Rotary Club of Lublin-Centrum-Maria Curie-Sklodowska has provided funding with help from Rotary Foundation Matching Grants and the Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society, which houses the school. After their son Mateusz was born with underdeveloped eyes, Mariusz and Joanna Kania looked for ways to help him be active. When he showed an aptitude for music, they looked for a teacher and were thrilled to find the Paul Harris music school. |

Saving lives in GhanaA highlight for the team was greeting the chief of Sagadugu. The team got excited about buying goats and food for children in the villages where I support eight churches. It was good to see the pastors of most of the eight churches, and I had to explain that we were just passing through on our way to Bolgatanga. |
