Our club will be bringing bingo back to the Middleton Good Neighbor Fest August 23-25, 2019. This is part of some throwback features including a Friday fish fry and Sunday chicken dinner. We will need volunteers for bingo sessions on Friday (evening), Saturday (afternoon & evening) and Sunday (afternoon). Mark your calendars now, because Wisconsin summers fill up quickly. We have a small committee formed including Deb Dieter, Jack Ferreri, Dawn Frank, Kevin Moran, Rod Nilles, and Matt Loch. We can use some more committee members and we are meeting this Friday after our club meeting. C’mon, join the fun!
Reach out to Deb Dieter to reserve your volunteer slot. You can email debragdieter@gmail.com to reserve your spot. DON’T BE ONE OF THOSE … ‘AW, SOMEONE ELSE WILL DO IT.’ BE THAT SOMEONE!
President Dawn Frank received the following letter from Jim:
It is with great regret that I need to inform you of my resignation from the Rotary Club of Madison West Towne-Middleton. My decision is two-fold: predicated upon accepting additional personal and family time commitments and, with relocating to Lodi. Attending Club meetings and participating in project activities has significantly limited my ability to remain an active member. I appreciate your understanding. I have enjoyed my seventeen years with this special organization to all our members I have the great pleasure of knowing. I leave with fond memories and the wonderful works and activities we did, knowing together, we made Madison, Middleton and the greater world communities a better place. I will miss all of you and wish the Club continued success. Who knows I may just drop in to say hello to all of you at 12:12 pm some Friday in the future.
Our Exchange student, Goodness Otun, has been keeping busy. She attended Concerts On The Square thanks to Jeannine Desautels. She also went to Circus World in Baraboo with her current host parents, Dan & Mary Fose and was treated to a fantastic horse & buggy ride and picnic, courtesy of Mary Ruth Marks. Goodness recaps her year in Wisconsin in a talk to our Club at the 7/19 meeting.
