Hi all,
The sign-up is now live for our annual Serve the World Volleyball Tournament benefiting Rotary Youth Exchange! The tournament is being held on Saturday, June 29that the Coliseum Bar. Additional information and the link to sign up can be found below. We are also looking for volunteer referees so if you’d like to help out please email us at madisonrotaryah@gmail.com.
This Sunday we have the distinct pleasure of hearing from our fellow club member Brenda Weiss about her experiences though the Rotary Friendship Exchange program in Latvia and Sweden! We are also working on a future exchange trip for our club so Brenda’s insights on the program and the experiences she had will be beneficial as we begin the early stages of planning for our exchange.
As a reminder, from now until June 1st, members who sign up to make contributions through Rotary Direct to the Rotary Foundation annual fund will receive 3x matching recognition points to their donation. Recognition points are accumulated and when members reach 1000 they are awarded the esteemed Paul Harris Fellow recognition. Giving to the Foundation is a great way to help grow Rotary and the impact we can make worldwide.
Looking forward to seeing you all this weekend!
