I had the wonderful pleasure of visiting with Matt, currently VP at TDS, to learn more about him, his family, and his background. Here's what he shared~
Matt grew up in Green Bay, WI and has been married to wife Susie for 23 years and they have 2 kids together. The children have grown up, as happens, and Spencer is 25, and Kendra is 23 and both are doing well.
Ealy on, Matt studied at the UW-Madison in Accounting which eventually led him to TDS where he has been instrumental in development of their new division (you should ask him about this!) and travels frequently to D.C! His wife is a nurse at the UW Hospital and they've continued to support each other's careers while balancing family life and travel with family whenever possible. He says he's always looking for another adventure and they've built a family life around travel and exploring new places! Matt and family spend 2 weeks in Australia and has also enjoyed Florida.
He enjoys Basketball and Football, so if you've got tickets to sell, call Matt!!
Something he cherishes from childhood is his involvement in Y camp, where he recalls selling thin mints and thinks this was tougher than scouts since they spent time in the wilderness, which he really enjoyed. Matt is in the middle of 6 kids- big family, and he was the first in his family to graduate from college! He has tried to teach his children his own philosophy to "not be afraid" and understand that "anything can be fixed"~ He lives by the mantra of Managing Risk, which has served him well in his career and growth over the years.
Matt's involvement in Rotary provides a nice balance for him and he really enjoys being able to share advice and experience as well as provide the very important service to his community. He has been invovled for somewhere around 2 decades and has made good friends and believes strongly in the blend of service and family responsibilities! Matt is a great persn to talk to and brings a great deal to our collective resources in our Rotary Club~ Take a moment to get together with Matt and talk with him about Marco Island! He's got good tips!
Thank you again Matt for the chance to learn more about your life and family and work with Rotary~

We continue to support the foundation with $2,000.00 each year which is used to feed the children in Port au Prince, Haiti. Our support began about 10-15 years ago when a now deceased member, Rev. Richard Williams, introduced us to Margaret Trost.
We have continued to support the efforts of the foundation which have also added educational components to their efforts. Margaret was our guest speaker about a year ago and continues to dedicate her life to the children in the poorest country in the western hemisphere.
If you would like better pictures, you might be able to find them on the What If? Foundation's website.
Please email Laurie if you are able to meet briefly with me in the next few weeks for an interview!
It is really fun to learn more about each of our members and be able to share just a little bit more so you might notice someone you hadn't thought of striking up a conversation with before!!
THANK YOU AND LOOKING FORWARD TO CONTINUING...Watch for the next feature in coming Bulletins!
Blighted schools in the mountain city of Peja in western Kosovo are a reminder of the ethnic strife and war that ravaged this area in the 1990s.
To restore ruined sanitation facilities in some of those schools, local Rotary members recently partnered with their counterparts from Colorado, USA. Though residents have been slowly rebuilding the city's infrastructure after years of neglect under earlier governments, most resources are going to improve roads, rebuild homes, and create new businesses. Little money remains to restore the schools.
As a result, students have fallen ill, stayed home...
Students from Israel and Palestine sat together at a local art studio in Encinitas, California, USA, one day last summer, drawing portraits of one another and learning how to live in peace.
Kelly Mellos, an organizer of the project from the Rotary Club of Encinitas Coastal, says that drawing someone who is sitting so close helps break down social barriers between the young people. "They see how many similarities there are between them," she says. "And they begin to understand we are all just people. There is a respect and trust that builds."
The students were participating in a program run by...
Rotary International released an additional $34.8 million in grants to support polio immunization activities in 10 countries, including Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan, the three countries where the disease has never been stopped.
The funds, whose release was announced 20 January, will be used by the World Health Organization and UNICEF for polio immunization and surveillance activities in the 10 countries, as well as to provide technical assistance in several other countries in Africa.
The grants include $8.1 million for Nigeria to support its final push to eradicate the disease. Nigeria...
Using their talents, expertise, and leadership, Rotary members worldwide are asked to be gifts to the world this upcoming 2015-16 Rotary year.
Rotary International President-elect K.R. "Ravi" Ravindran called Sunday's address to incoming district governors the "most significant moment of my life."
"All of you have been given so many gifts. And you have now been given this great gift: one year to take all your talents, all your gifts, everything that you are and can become -- and Be a Gift to the World," said Ravindran, revealing his presidential theme at the annual five-day training meeting...
One might think a man living with polio in an iron lung would know about Rotary. But it wasn't until Paul Alexander had a business meeting with a member in Duncanville, Texas, earlier this year that he learned Rotary fights to eradicate the very disease that left him almost completely paralyzed.
"I was completely blown away by the idea. For all these years, I didn't know the work they were doing," says Alexander, a practicing attorney in Dallas. "It's such a perfect fit for me."
Alexander contracted polio during a major U.S. outbreak of the disease in the late 1950s when he was six years old...
