Hello everyone,
 
We have so much going on for the month of October! We are still looking for more volunteers to help us with Bucky Beads. If you are interested in joining us for the October 16th or October 30th UW home games, click here to look at available shifts! 
October 4th through the 10th is our Rotary Environmental Days of Services and thanks to the Madison South Rotary, we have a way we can join in from the comfort of our own home. If you would like to assess your carbon footprint and learn how you and your family can make an impact, click here to go to a document that will guide you through an assessment, give you ideas for practical changes and teach you how you can encourage others to make a positive impact on our environment. I also wanted to give you all an update on Pints for Polio. At this time Great Dane will not be hosting an event for us this year, however the Madison Area Leaders group is actively looking for other venues to have some events. I'll keep you all posted as soon as something is announced. GiGi's Playhouse is looking for volunteers for their annual fundraiser. I have created a calendar event with more information but if you are interested in volunteering on October 22nd, reach out to Chelsea Sheedy. It's a great event for an amazing cause! Additionally, we have accepted a blood donor challenge from ImpactLife. During the month of October if you give blood you are eligible for a $5 gift card or a t-shirt. This is open to all donors due to the huge blood shortage so please share on social media and encourage your friends! More information about the blood drive can be found on our facebook page or on the ImpactLife website. And finally, we would like to take the opportunity to join together in fellowship. October 31st bring us another 5th Sunday and we are looking to gather downtown at Madison's. More details to come! Whew!! That was a lot!
 
I also want to celebrate our members! Please take a moment to visit our home page or click the link to learn more about the amazing Val Schroeder for our Membership Moment! 
 
I hope you all have a wonderful week and I thank you for all you do for Rotary!
 
Yours in service,
