Since the early days of the Rotary Club of Madison West Towne-Middleton, we've held regular bingo nights with the residents at Oakwood Village.
2015-2016 Oakwood bingo will start up on Thursday, October 15, 2015, and will continue on the third Thursday of each month through May 2016. Sign-up sheets will be circulated at the Friday meetings weeks in advance of the bingo nights, to give all ample time to consider when to sign-up for a session. Sessions begin at 6 pm and usually last until 7:30 pm.
I will send a reminder and logistical information ahead of each session. This activity also qualifies for a meeting make-up, if one is needed.
2016 Rotary International Convention • May 28 - June 1 • Seoul, South Korea
From John Gerold
The International Convention for Rotary will be held in Seoul, South Korea from May 28, 2016 through June 1, 2016. My wife and I plan to attend the convention. In addition, we plan on touring other parts of Korea either before or after the convention. A stop-over in Japan may happen as well. Five other club members have indicated an interest in attending the convention and doing some of the extended touring. If you are interested in considering this trip, please let me know. I will host a meeting sometime in October to begin discussing the trip so appropriate planning can begin.
Early discounted fees for convention registration end on December 15, 2015.
Apply to host a booth in the House of Friendship at the 2016 Rotary International Convention in Seoul, 28 May-1 June. This is an opportunity to showcase your club or district project, recruit members for your Rotary Fellowship, share information about your Rotarian Action Group, or market Rotary merchandise if you are a licensed RI vendor.
The application deadline is 30 September. Booth allocations will be awarded by 1 November.

In addition, Rotary clubs from the United States and Mexico have been investing in the...
