As Communications Manager and jack of all trades, Richard has been with the station (FM 95.5) since its launch two years ago. The station broadcasts low power (10 watts) with a range of about ten miles. On air 24/7, the station offers a rich mix of programming – all kinds of music, as well as poetry, personal health, community outreach, talk, and youth shows. It includes a unique range of music that speaks to Madison’s diverse, underserved population. The station train interns from the UW, Edgewood College, and Memorial High School. They maintain high visibility in the community. Our Club has helped fund this important project. And the station is always looking for new show ideas and hosts.

WHAT IS THIS?
You check out a packet of 10 tickets and sell them to your friends, family, co-workers, spouse or significant other for $10 each or buy them yourself for $100. YOU TURN IN THE STUBS WITH NAMES FILLED IN AND MONEY. You can get more tickets if you can sell more. We have 600 tickets to sell.
Tickets include a discount stub (that is what we are "selling") and 4 teams under the scratch-off area for the NCAA Basketball tournament. You can win cash prizes based on how well your teams do in the basketball tournament. Your buyers can also get two tickets for purchasing one ticket by registering for the second ticket online.
If you take tickets, our committee would like you to sell them all or buy those that you can't sell. If you prefer NOT to participate, please do not take the tickets. You can make a suggested donation of $75.00 to the foundation.
TURN IN ALL ITEMS...STUBS, MONEY, UNSOLD TICKETS BY MARCH 23, 2018.
If you plan to apply for a district grant or Rotary Foundation grant this year, I strongly encourage you to attend one of the grant training seminars. Please go to the District website, rotary6250.org, for more information and to register.
This year they will require a Community Needs Assessment. It takes a fair amount of work to apply for a district grant or a grant from the Rotary Foundation. Save yourself a lot of time by getting the training. I want you to be successful in the process and am willing to help you.

Happy New Year!
The time to ensure your club is qualified to apply for a Rotary Foundation District or Global Grant in the upcoming Rotary year is upon us. As you may already know, there are a few prerequisites that must be completed. The first requirement is that a minimum of one member (more is always preferable) from your club must attend a district-specific grant management seminar (GMS). Attendance at either the January 20, March 15 or May 4 will be sufficient but having attended a previous year’s GMS will not.
The club’s representative/s should sign up today on the district’s website.
If you have any questions regarding Rotary Foundation Grants please do not hesitate to ask. David Warren, District Rotary Foundation Chair dave@davesace.com

Area Rotarians…………..If you love Wisconsin Artisan Cheeses, this is the event for you! Past cheeses have included Red Rock from Roelli Cheese, Merlot Bellavitano from Satori and Foenegreek from Thorp WI. This year’s list should be another list of Wisconsin Cheese Superstars! And let’s not forget the wine to go with it. Attached is flyer to share with your clubs and directions on how to get tickets. Hope to see many of you again at this year’s event.
Beginning 1 July 2018, clubs and districts that apply for global grants to support their humanitarian projects or vocational training teams will be required to include a community assessment. Working with a community to determine what it needs most and can sustain in the future builds important relationships, involves residents in decisions that affect their communities, and fosters long-term participation in community projects. Project planners can use district grant funds to conduct an assessment. The results of the assessment will be included with the grant application in the Grant Center.
As you plan your next grant management seminar, take time to review these useful resources:
Please let me know of any events or special situations in our fellow Rotarians' lives where a card, flowers, or a plant would be appropriate for their situation.
If you are volunteering with youth (one-on-one)? Mentoring, Youth Exchange, RYLA, Academic Decathlon, High School Business Plans, Etc... You must have an annual background check completed. This only applies if you are working with youth one-on-one. If you are in a group more than 2 people, you don't need a background check.
