Erica Moranski, Shawn Schnabl, Rotary Club of New Berlin, New Berlin Rotary Welcoming our newest member
 
Our newest member, Erica Moranski, officially joined our club on Dec. 16. An enrolled agent, Moranski offers tax preparation to individuals and small businesses. She has been involved since 1999, and started her own business about four years ago.
 
Moranski and her husband, long-time New Berlin residents, have been married 29 years. Their two children are grown and live out of state.
 
Moranski (shown here with club president Shawn Schnabl) has been a member of New Berlin Junior Woman's Club for 25 years. "I love what I've done with that," she says. She spoke about NBJWC during her visit to our club on Sept. 23. It was then Moranski realized the value of Rotary. She joined Rotary to expand her professional network but also to continue her involvement in community service. Rotary, she says, is "another great organization to be a part of."

Also during this meeting, Rotarian Dianne Moore provided an update on the Christmas gifts for our three "adopted" families. Between club funds and individual donations, she had $600 to buy gifts for 11 people. Most were teens and adults. Recipients requested mostly practical, everyday items, she says. The one child requested a model race car.
 
We learned of these families from Barb Jacobs at the New Berlin Food Pantry. Moore delivered the wrapped gifts to the food pantry on the 16th. This is the second year that our club has participated in this program.
