REMINDER: Honoring Shirley Stekel

Shirley working at Rotary Botanical Gardens.

Most of you know MGV and RPMGA member Shirley Stekel passed on June 15 (see June 17 post at rpmga.blogspot.com). A memorial service for Shirley will take place Sunday, August 19, at the Cravath Lakefront Community Center in Whitewater, WI, from 11:30 to 2:30.

Her husband Frank said “Please tell her friends and colleagues that we would greatly appreciate if any of them could attend.”

If you wish to make a donation in Shirley’s memory, the family suggests either Rotary Gardens or the Humane Society of Jefferson County.

For Rotary, you can make a check payable to them and send it directly to the garden with a note saying it’s in memory of Shirley Stekel.  Business Manager Marcia Leuty says Rotary tracks all memorial donations and notifies the family of their receipt. Mailing address: Rotary Botanical Gardens, Attn: Marcia Leuty, 1455 Palmer Drive, Janesville, WI 53545.

RPMGA is making a donation in her honor to benefit children’s education programming at Rotary Gardens.

For the Humane Society of Jefferson County, the address is W6127 Kiesling Rd Jefferson, WI 53549, or donate through their website at https://hsjc-wis.com/.
