WineFeast
In partnership with the Oshkosh Boys and Girls Club, Oshkosh Rotary Southwest
each year puts on a large wine and food tasting event. Typically
attended by nearly 1,000 people, the event produces substantial funding for these two
organizations. The proceeds are distributed between the two partnership
organizations, and focus on children's causes.
Read all the details about this year's WineFeast!
Requires the "Acrobat reader" program. If you do not have
the "reader" program, it is available for free:
Rose Sale
The club performs a rose sale in the fall, with delivery timed to coincide
with the opening of deer hunting season. Proceeds return to the club's
general charitable fund.
Environmental Programs
Southwest Rotarians participate in a multi-disciplinary environmental committee
focused on the active beautification of our community, as well as environmental
preservation activities.
Christmas Gift Exchange
Each year, with the Exchange Club, Oshkosh Rotary Southwest hosts a Christmas
party with gifts and a dinner for underprivileged area families, providing many
children with the only Christmas they would have.
Meals-on-Wheels
Working with Oshkosh Family, Inc., Oshkosh Southwest Rotarians volunteer to
deliver meals to shut-in individuals throughout our community.
Winnebago County Mental Health Center Christmas Giving
Each year, the Club takes up a collection and delivers basic necessity gifts
to those in residence at the Center.
Christmas Adopt-a-Family
Southwest Rotarians participate each year with the Salvation Army to purchase
and wrap Christmas gifts for a number of needy families.
