Lots happening at our meeting. First, Steve Seymour announced our second Taylor scholarship winner, Madi Tongco, she will be attending Cal Tech (California Institute of Technology) in just a few weeks! We also had a Visiting Rotarian from Germany - Udo!! Mike Fisher presented him with a club flag! Finally, our speaker was Bethany Larson. Bethany was born and raised in Kenosha, graduated from Tremper High School and upon college graduation from College she moved to Rwanda to work for a small not-for-profit at 21 y/o. While there, she co-founded a company - Charmed Up. With COVID and the Civil unrest going on back home, living away was even tougher. Her partner bought out her half of the business and she moved back to Kenosha. She found a job with Gener8tor/gbeta, Genera8tor is an investment firm that provides money for entrepreneurs and gbeta is a free seven week accelerated course for early stage companies with local roots and assists with helping find investors and accelerating the growth of equity right from the early stages. Bethany runs this program and it is in 33 markets.
