Elisha Sherma: Greycliff Mill: Past, Present, and Future

 

Part of our What's Up With That? series of getting to know businesses and things that you've always wondered about. 
Elisha has worked in food service for almost two decades. He grew up on a small farm and now lives with his wife and three kids in Greycliff, MT. As a partner and manager of the Greycliff Mill, Elisha integrates his love for culinary arts, agriculture and hospitality to create a positive experience for the many visitors who come to the Mill each day.

A rising tide floats all boats.

Elisha would like to talk a little bit about the origins of Greycliff Mill, how they got started, how they have partnered with rehab programs, and their hope for the future.

Board Update and approved budgets

 The Board met last week and formally approved both the Bozeman Sunrise Rotary Club (BSRC) and Foundation (BSRF) budgets for the 2026–2027 year.

To keep our financial structure clear:

BSRC (Club Operations): Funded by membership dues; covers Rotary International and District dues, club software, and meeting operational costs.
BSRF (Club Foundation 501(c)(3)): Funded by your efforts and the Fundraising Committee activities; directly supports our service projects. (Note: Foundation Committee focuses on RI philanthropy activities, grants and PolioPlus).


2026–2027 Rate Adjustments (Effective July 1, 2026) To ensure our club remains financially sustainable amidst rising operational costs, the Board made a difficult decision to implement the following adjustments:

Membership Dues: $175 per quarter
Optional Friday Breakfast: $15 per meeting


Why These Adjustments Were Necessary While we successfully held dues flat for a few years, rising coffee costs along with 3–5% annual increases in RI/District dues and software subscriptions required action. The Board felt we needed our coffee!

Additionally, Andrew has been testing hot breakfast options for our regular Friday meetings. The previous charge did not fully cover breakfast costs; $15 aligns us with actual expenses while allowing us to feature a once a month hot breakfast bar.

We do not take price increases lightly, but these changes protect the club’s long-term health and our ability to serve Bozeman. Please reach out to Teri Lumsden directly if you have any questions or would like to discuss the budget in detail.

Environmental Action of the Week!

Tip #24

Replace burned-out bulbs with LEDs

One at a time works.

If 50 households replaced five bulbs, it would save roughly 3,500–5,000 kWh per year.
