Rotarian Mary Anne Rishebarger is our guest speaker on Monarch Butterfly Gardens at the Rotary Club Meeting on July 8, 2021 
I was born 2nd oldest of 9 children in Toronto, Canada to an American Mom and German Dad.  We moved to Suitland, MD when I was in Elementary School.  After working and living in England and Switzerland in the mid 80's, I moved to Baltimore where my husband, Mark and I raised 2 children.  I received an MBA from Loyola University in 2013 after my children graduated from High School.  As an Entrepreneur, I have run several successful companies including BTX a Business-to-Business Barter Exchange and a Food Truck called Farm to Charm.  Most of my working career has been in Sales, Marketing, and Fundraising.  
I joined the Baltimore Rotary Club in 2001 and served as the 2nd female President in over 100 years.  I served as Area Governor from 2011 – 2017.  I’m a charter member and past President of the new Rotary Club of Baltimore Sunset.  My greatest Rotary achievement: I received a global grant to build a gravity-powered water treatment plant in Atima, Honduras.  After raising $30K in local funds, I was awarded matching grants from our District 7620 and Rotary International.  The final project was completed in one year at $90K working with local NGO’s, Cornell University Engineers, Rotary Club of Santa Barbara, Honduras and created 2 full time jobs for local resident.
I am a Paul Harris Fellow, a member of ESRAG: Environmental Sustainability Rotarian Action Group, and a member of the International Rotary Yacht Squadron of Chesapeake Bay. I've been raising a yellow lab for Guiding Eyes for the Blind over the last 15 months. I've planted 10 pollinator gardens in Baltimore City Schools and I'm the New Program Director for Monarch Sister Schools Program USA.  My goal is to plant 100 pollinator gardens in Spring 2021 across the U.S.
