Greetings,
I hope everyone had an enjoyable Memorial Day!
We have an exciting list of events coming up as we round the corner into summer. In particular we are excited to hear from our exchange student Erick this Sunday as he recaps his year here in the U.S. We have loved having him here from Indonesia and will miss him upon his departure. Don’t miss this chance to support him this weekend and hear his unique insights from his experiences in Madison and beyond.
In addition, we have team spots still available for our annual Serve the World volleyball tournament on June 29th and we are also looking to fill some volunteer referee shifts. Check out the info below and on our website and let us know if you’re interested in helping out. *You don’t need to be an experienced ref; we will teach you everything you need to know.
As a last reminder – you have a few days left (until June 1
st) to earn 3x matching recognition points for your donation if you sign up to make contributions through
Rotary Direct to the Rotary Foundation annual fund share.
See you on Sunday,
