Rod Nilles and Mary Cobb Dunn Recognized



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.

From Cliff Wilford of Lussier

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


 
Golfing Event Recap
 

On Monday, June 27, eighty-six golfers enjoyed 18 holes of golf at Pleasant View Golf Course in Middleton with box lunch, participation in 10 Hole Events, and a full cookout following. There was a keg of beer on the course as well. The golfers played a 4 person scramble event, with a variety of team prizes and hole prizes. We sold a "Golfer Package" with 10 Raffle tickets and 5 Mulligans for $30. Roughly 70% of the golfers purchased the golfer package. We also sold a "String Game" for $20.00 where the golfer received 3 feet of Putt Forgiveness String. 45% of the golfers bought the string. We had  30 raffle prizes valued from $35 to $150. We had 25 Silent Auction packages that ranged in value from $150 to $2,000.Best estimate for the profit to the Foundation from the Outing at this time is $14,200.

 

 
Friendship Exchange between Nepal and USA

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:

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...
 
From the July 2016 issue of The Rotarian When Brad Rubini was reading a bedtime story to his seven-year-old daughter, Claire, she asked him why he was reading the words wrong. “I’m dyslexic, so I thought I was reading the words right,” recalls Rubini, a past president of the Rotary Club of Toledo, Ohio. After he explained his problem, she began to read to him on most nights instead. “She was a voracious reader and storyteller. She was always telling stories, even when she was a toddler,” he says. Three years later, while Claire was away at summer camp, she died unexpectedly as a result of a...
