For those of you on vacation or otherwise unable to attend, here is a recap of our July club meeting.
 
We started off with a remembrance for Cheryl.  She was very active in our club as a service committee co-chair, treasurer, and lining up speakers.  She was well known throughout Wisconsin.  She will be greatly missed.
 
 
 
 
 
We recited the four way test to remind us of our Rotary ethics of truth, fairness, goodwill, friendships and beneficial to all.
 
 As of the first of July, the start of the Rotary year, Val will be president.  A huge thanks to LeRoy for his service in getting the club up and running.
 
Check the district website for information on the Friendship Exchange to Croatia coming in September.
 
 
 
 
Dwight presented on the LaClinica service project.  We have reached our goal and received a district grant.  A huge thanks to those who donated.  We received money from clubs inside and outside of our district.  The money will go to diabetes blood glucose monitors.  August 12th is the tentative Children's Day at the LaClinica headquarters.  There are plans in the works to present the check to them at that event.  Anyone wishing to participate, please contact Dwight.
 
Our assistant governor, Toni, from the Sun Prairie Rotary Club announced that August 3rd will be the annual golf tournament sponsored by Sun Prairie Rotary Club.  Their club received a district grant for raised platform viewing area and memorial wall for their marsh, in memory of Bill Wambach. Check out their golf outing webpage.   https://www.sunprairierotary.org/sitepage/golf-outing
 
Lisa was the winner of our 50/50 raffle.  Way to go Lisa!  Easy money.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Our speaker was Gary Muldoon from Madison Breakfast Rotary Club.  He had two topics - Rotary Books for the World - Wisconsin Operations, and Portable Cabinet Libraries in Guatemala.  
 
They need to relocate their packing facility, and are searching for a place in the greater Madison area.  Currently they have 10,000 square feet, they may only need half that much.  More info to come.
 
For the libraries, we can help by collecting gently used Spanish or Bilingual Spanish/English library books, sponsor a computer, some books, a cabinet or a fully-stocked library, or pledge our club's support an a contributing club for a future district grant.
