The Board of Directors of Rotary International, the General Secretary acting on its behalf, in accordance with section 2.060. of the RI Bylaws, approves the merger of the Rotary Club of Madison West, Wisconsin, USA and the Rotary Club of Madison West Towne-Middleton, Wisconsin, USA effective 30 June 2022.
RI weighed in on the official name. Here it is
The merged club’s name shall be the Rotary Club of Madison West Middleton, Wisconsin, USA, its charter date will be recognized as 1 September 1971, and its Club ID is 2700.
For your records, I’ve attached the approved application and membership list.
Please take note of the following information regarding the status of Rotary Foundation recognition points post-merger:
For individuals, the Paul Harris Fellow points follow the individual to the merged club.
For clubs, the Paul Harris Fellow points will remain in the name of the old club until they are used. When the merged club wants to use the points of the former club, they should contact Rotary Foundation staff (+1.866.976.8279 or rotarysupportcenter@rotary.org) with the name and club number of the former club. TRF staff will locate the points and apply them as requested. For future reference, the recognized name and club numbers for the former club is listed below:
Rotary Club of Madison West, WI, USA [2699]
It is recommended that you (the merged club) use the previously accrued points credited to each former club sooner rather than later, however as long as you can provide the name and number of the former club, access to those points will not be lost.
Please contact the Rotary Support Center with any specific questions you may have regarding Rotary Foundation recognition points: +1.866.976.8279 or rotarysupportcenter@rotary.org.
Please also note that on the date of your merger, some online tools (like Rotary Club Central) may need an additional 24 hours to reflect the updates and might also require you to log off and back on to your account before navigating to those tools. Additionally, some reports have varying refresh schedules and it may take 2-3 business days before they collectively catch up to this change.
Best regards,
Andrez

Effective at 12:00 am on March 1, 2022, Public Health Madison & Dane County no longer requires face coverings in public indoor spaces in light of steadily decreasing COVID-19 case rates and hospitalizations.
“Letting the face-covering order expire doesn’t mean that the pandemic is over. Rather, it signals that we have made it through the Omicron surge and are entering a new stage of the pandemic,” said Janel Heinrich, Director of Public Health Madison & Dane County. “The most important thing you can do now is to stay up-to-date on our vaccines as they have proven to be highly effective in protecting you from becoming severely ill, ending up in the hospital, or dying from COVID-19.”
As stated at a previous meeting we are making a change to our attendance policy. We will no longer be requiring members and guests to wear a mask during our in-person meetings. Please note that we will no longer be asking attendees to be vaccinated in order to attend in-person meetings. We know that this is a very personal choice for all.
