Volunteering at One City Schools and Book Project
Posted on Oct 31, 2022
We did an in-meeting service project.  Each Rotarian took a couple of beginning to read books, added a Rotary sticker to the inside cover, inserted some fun Halloween stickers and wrote a short note to the child receiving the book.  We sent a box of 52 books back with Alice Erickson from One City Schools to distribute to the K-5 kindergarten class.
 
Alice Erickson, Volunteer Coordinator for One City Schools, shared with us some history about One City Schools including that the school is charted by the University of Wisconsin.  This charter allows children from all over Wisconsin to attend – and they do from as far away as Janesville.  One City Schools has an enrollment of over 500 children and a waiting list of 400 children.  Alice also shared her personal volunteer journey with One City Schools and the many volunteer opportunities that exist.  If you want to get on Alice’s volunteer list, you can reach her at volunteer@onecityschools.org.  If you missed today’s presentation, you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/8_lpEl64PSU
Craig Culver - the "Culver's Story"
Posted on Oct 17, 2022
Craig Culver and the restaurant chain bearing his last name is truly a Wisconsin success story now spanning across 25 states. But it wasn't always that way. Hear Craig as he talks about the early years when there were too many doubts as to whether the little restaurant was going to survive to the fast growing franchise it is today.

About our Membership

As a medium sized club of 70+ active members, the Madison South Rotary club spans all ages and occupations.  
 

Active Fellowship Groups

Social connections are the biggest reason our members enjoy our club. Unlike committees, fellowship groups are organized by club members to promote social interaction and fun.
 

Our Brat Stand

Our fall Brat Stand across from UW Madison's Camp Randall Stadium is our primary fundraiser. The club then returns much needed financial assistance back to the community using a deliberate, thoughtful grant process each Spring.
