Brian Monroe – Rotarian

January 2020 – I am very proud that my Rotary club Mequon-Thiensville Sunrise partnered with our sister Rotary club Thiensville-Mequon Noon back in 2004 when GMRP was just an idea.

When MT Rotarian Bob Blazich presented a recap of the 2006 mission I was hooked and during my club presidency joined the GMRP team with my wife Nancy Neumann for the 2008 mission. We both ending up becoming dental assistants and experienced the joy that comes from serving others. Nancy became a Co-Team Leader and participated in 4 additional trips. I became part of the advance team with another 7 additional missions.

I’ve stayed involved with planning, fundraising, presentations and recruiting volunteers like our friend Dr Gerry Schmitz. I cherish the wonderful memories and fantastic friendships that this mission has provided. (Photo courtesy of Barb Johnson)
