News & Updates, May 3rd, 2017

 
Hello fellow Rotarians and friends of Madison After Hours,
 
I want to thank everyone who contributed to a successful YPWeek and supported Rock the River.  Rock the River raised $2000 for The River food pantry!  
 
Join us this Sunday evening as we learn about the hot topic of sanctuary cities from Karl Shoemaker.  Karl will inform us where the idea of sanctuary cities came from, and what they mean for different types of immigrants and refugees. 
 
See you Sunday!
