You will soon be receiving a survey via e-mail. The intent of the survey is to get input from our members regarding the coolest club in the world. Like all great things, there is always room for improvement. We ask that you please take 5-10 minutes to respond to the 9-question survey. The survey covers topics such as our club’s service projects, meetings, fundraisers, etc. In addition, we would like to strongly encourage you to attend the May 3rd club assembly meeting where we will have small group discussions to gather more qualitative information on the survey topics. Your input will then drive our leadership’s goals for the next couple of years.

Let any of us know you’re interested and thank you for what you do for Rotary.
Hmmm … what do we have in common? We both have Middleton in our name. This event has been going for 50 years plus and the proceeds go to Middleton area service clubs and other NPOs. In an effort to better promote Rotary in Middleton, Jack and I attended the Middleton GNF board of trustees meeting on Monday. We have participated in this event in the past and believe it’s time to jump back in. I am looking for volunteers to join Jack and me on a Rotary club committee for this interesting fundraising and promotional activity. Please contact one of us soon. The Fest will be Aug 23-25, 2019.
Nancy Comello has been the heart and soul of a project to provide midwife and birthing education to local Guatemalans. The goal is to reduce mortality and improve the lives of both mothers and children. She has been on a solo crusade with a lofty goal of raising over $80,000 through various sources. It is time to form a committee to support Nancy’s vision and make this effort a high-profile project for the Rotary Club of Madison West Towne-Middleton. We can use help in grant writing, finance, project management, and promotion. Please contact me if interested.
Lots of Spring and Summer Events coming up. Find something to volunteer at as a MWTM Rotarian. We’ve supported this program, both with funds and volunteers, for several years.
Our April 26th meeting will be a luncheon at Jefferson Middle School. Many of our members have supported Club activities on behalf of JMS. Now we get to enjoy lunch there and see the facility.
