Middleton Wildlife photographer Kevin Munson’s presentation at a meeting of The Rotary Club of Madison West Middleton was entitled “A Walk Through Wonderland - Wildlife in the Middleton Hills Wetlands Conservancy.” It was an eye opener, revealing the beauty of the creatures sharing the Walk-Through city with us. As the name of his talk suggests, most of the 50+ slides Munson showed were taken in the Middleton Hills Wetland Conservancy, although a few were photographed in Pheasant Branch Conservancy. The latter is the largest of Middleton’s conservancies.
 
 
I’ve been a Rotarian for over thirty years, most with what is now known as The Rotary Club of Madison West Middleton. Previously, for three years, I was a charter member of the Rotary Club of Richland County. It’s been a great ride!

Supporting Safe Birth
 
Supporting Safe Birth assembled training teams that traveled to Guatemala to train birth attendants and equip them with supplies. Master Trainers were trained and equipped with mannequins and teaching materials. Trainers use two programs— Helping Mothers Survive and Helping Babies Survive—that were developed specifically for use in low-resource countries and have been used successfully since 2010.

RYLA

Established as a Rotary Structured Program in 1971, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is Rotary's leadership training program for young people. The Rotary District 6250 RYLA program is a camp designed to build future leaders and Rotarians who exemplify the four-way test. If you know a high school sophomore who would benefit from leadership training, please refer them to RYLA!! 

Applications have been sent to local schools and to our Interact Club at Middleton High School.

For many years we have enjoyed this vocational service experience and are so happy it is continuing!   
 
Contact Mary Van Hout to be a part of this project.
Students learn a new language, discover another culture, and truly become global citizens. Exchanges for students ages 15-19 are sponsored by Rotary clubs in more than 100 countries.
What are the benefits?
Exchange students unlock their true potential to:
  • Develop lifelong leadership skills
  • Learn a new language and culture
  • Build lasting friendships with young people from around the world 
  • Become a global citizen
How long do exchanges last?
Long-term exchanges last a full academic year, and students attend local schools and live with multiple host families.
Short-term exchanges last from several days to three months and are often structured as camps, tours, or homestays that take place when school is not in session.
What are the costs?
Room and board are provided, as well as any school fees. Each program varies, but students are usually responsible for:
  • Round-trip airfare
  • Travel insurance
  • Travel documents (such as passports and visas)
  • Spending money and any additional travel or tours
How can I apply?
Candidates are ages 15-19 and are leaders in their schools and communities. Contact the Madison West Middleton Youth Protection Officer to see what exchange opportunities are available and what the application process involves.
