UW Geologist Eric Carson on Geology of Madison & Black Earth Creek. We learned about the impact of the glaciers on Wisconsin and the unique topography of the Driftless Area of southwestern Wisconsin. Eric covered hundreds of millions of years in a wind-buffeted meeting at the Pope Farm Conservancy.
This Week’s Speaker: Rotary at Work: Club Committee Worktime Farm Luncheon.
Rotary Friendship Exchange offers the best in international travel opportunities! If you are available from September 19 - 25, you could host a Rotarian traveler from The Netherlands and help introduce them to life in the Madison area. Ten couples will spend some time in the Madison area and then head to the La Crosse area for another five days.
We have a wonderful itinerary planned to highlight our part of Wisconsin and show it off! Please consider opening up your home to one of the couples for a few days. You can provide them with a room and breakfast only or spend as much time with the whole group as you please. We guarantee that the experience will enrich your life in ways that may surprise you! Contact Mary Van Hout to be part of this RFE! maryevanhout@gmail.com or 608 836 1603.
And more …
Mary Van Hout, Dean Ryerson, and other Rotarians from our District participated in a Friendship Exchange to The Netherlands in late May. Seven Rotarians from the Netherlands will visit the Madison area from September 19-25. You are invited to join us as we welcome our guests and provide opportunities for them to experience life and culture in our area. On Friday evening, September 20 at 6:00 pm we'll experience a traditional supper club fish fry at The Hilltop (between Cross Plains and Pine Bluff). Let Dean Ryerson know if you would like to join us for this evening (dryerson@tds.net). As Kevin Welton pointed out following our meeting last Friday, it will be "Dutch Treat!"
We will gather at Mary Van Hout's home in Middleton for a pot luck picnic on Sunday afternoon the 22nd at 5:30. Again, if you want to join us let Mary know at <maryevanhout@gmail.com>. Bring a dish to pass, and preferably with some food in it! Looking forward to having club members join us for spirited conversations with our Dutch guests as Rotary "Connects the World".
