Dave Baskerville on Making Wisconsin Competitive

Economist and Madison native David Baskerville. 
 
International businessman Dave Baskerville gave us a sobering, non-partisan look at the US place in the world and Wisconsin’s place among the states. Our state lags behind Minnesota and other states in education, per capita income, and business growth. 70 percent of Madison College students need remedial courses. How can we get better? His two “stretch targets”: By 2035, 1) move our per capita income 10% above Minnesota by 2035 and 2) get our 8th grade math, science, and reading scores in the top ten globally. Lombardi transformed the Packers; JFK stretched us to land on the moon. It’s about commitment and tracking. See details at http://www.stretchtargets.org/.
 

 

 

 

 

 

Rod Nilles and Mary Cobb Dunn recognized
Posted by Cheryl Murray

 

Each year since 1977, The Rotary Club of West Towne-Middleton has recognized members who have provided outstanding service to the Club and to Rotary. The Club has honored these individuals by presenting them with a Paul Harris Fellowship. This year at the Changing of the Guard, two members of our Club were so honored. Rod Nilles and Mary Cobb Dunn were both given Paul Harris Fellowships. This recognition is particularly meaningful, because in a Club as active as Madison West Towne-Middleton, it is significant to be honored as a leader. Congratulations to both of you, it is well deserved. 

 

 

 

 

Letter from Cliff Wilford of Lussier Community Education Center
 

Hello John,

I am so very glad to hear that your Annual Social was a success! It is always a pleasure to be involved in making people feel happy that they attended an affair. Having parking not become a big issue was a definite plus.

I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how much we appreciate the fact that the Madison West Towne Middleton Rotary Club chose to have such an important event at the Lussier Community Education Center. We are proud to serve you and hope that we can be of service to you again in the future.

Best wishes,

Cliff

 

 

 
Friendship Exchange between Nepal and USA
Posted by Ed Fink

Would you like to visit Nepal for a Rotary Friendship Exchange?

UPDATE: The Nepal trip must be from September 27 to October 20, matching the National Education conference that will be held soon after we arrive. They want our district to get involved in helping them improve the education system in their communities. And, a two week tour has been created for us, visiting the center of the country.

Our costs include airfare and rental cars, and Dr. Clemens is working on an estimate. 

We can finalize details later, but everyone interested in taking part in the Friendship Exchange to Nepal should be ready to confirm very soon.

If you are interested, please contact Dr. David Clemens at the contact details below:

John Germ: Champion of Chattanooga
From the July 2016 issue of The Rotarian Just before John Germ dropped by, Rick Youngblood took a deep breath. “You want to match his energy,” he says, “but he makes it hard to keep up.” Youngblood is the president and CEO of Blood Assurance, a regional blood bank in Chattanooga, Tenn., that Germ helped found in 1972. After his visit with Youngblood, Germ strode between mountains of empty bottles and cans at Chattanooga’s John F. Germ Recycling Center at Orange Grove, which he designed, before he drove to a construction site and popped a cork to dedicate a Miracle League field where special...
