Information on Donating to the RI Foundation

                                       
Mary Beth Growney-Selene and visiting former District Governor Joe Rusky encourage us to consider donating to the Rotary Foundation for all the tremendous work it does around the world. December 3rd is Giving Day and Madison West Towne Middleton Rotary can help "Connect The World" by contributing to The Rotary Foundation that day.  Gifts of all sizes are meaningful and important to continue the incredible work of our Foundation. In addition to feeling proud of being a part of this important effort, a gift of Rotary sway awaits you at our meeting on December 6!  Plan now to be a part of Rotary Giving Day! Here’s a link that will tell you what you need to know: https://www.rotary.org/en/donate
 

 

Board/Officer Vacancies

We have two vacancies in leadership positions for our Club. Please consider putting yourself forward for one of them. Contact either Dawn Frank or Steve Aune if you’re willing to pitch in.
  • Sundar Baladhandapani has had to leave the Board because of work pressures.
  • Ruth Domack was scheduled to be the incoming President-Elect starting July 1, 2020, but her health issues have forced her to step down from that position.
  • If you want to serve on a Nominating Committee, talk to Steve Aune.

 
 

Food Donations Needed for Lussier Pantry

The collection date is November 22 at the Club meeting. But if you have them tomorrow, bring them along. They want:
  • Hearty soups
  • Mac and cheese
  • Whole wheat pasta
  • Spaghetti sauces
  • Healthy snacks
“We love items that are low sodium, whole grain, and items in real fruit juice as opposed to syrup.”

Another New Member Approved by the Board

In a Board email conference, a new member was provisionally approved for joining our Club. 
•    Abby Benbow: Real Estate, sponsored by Steve Aune Several others are in the works.
 

News on Ruth Domack

 
Ruth Domack's son texted Deb Dieter yesterday and Ruth wants to share her news. She is out of surgery (2:45 pm) she is cancer-free. Margins are clean, she did not need any blood transfusions during the procedure. She will be staying in the ICU overnight for observation, but then will be staying in the hospital for 10-12 days to undergo physical therapy before returning home. She is in room 5919 in the East Tower at St. Mary’s. Send cards instead of a visit. Check to make sure she’s still there before sending flowers.
