Terry and Kathy Siebert's travel talk covered their recent trip to Paris, Nice, Florence, Prague, and Bologna. Beautiful scenery, delectable-looking food, and stunning works of art were captured in photos and Terry's upbeat, story-telling style. Amazingly, in spite of all the gourmet eating and adult beverages, they each lost five pounds! Lots and lots of walking every day.

You could see it in his eyes, and hear it in his voice, when Rotarian Randy Sproule stepped up to the podium at a recent meeting of The Rotary Club of Madison West Middleton. Sproule had a story to tell, which was both personal and of grave import. It was a tale about a four year old boy named Warren, a child who, years later, would become Sproule’s dad. The little boy, of whom Randy Sproule spoke, awoke one day, only to discover he couldn’t move his legs. Naturally, the child cried out for his parents. But, there was nothing they could immediately offer. The boy’s diagnosis was the dreaded poliomyelitis (polio).

Our Club also earned recognition for 100% participation in Every Rotarian Every Year, with at least a $100 annual contribution.
The Madison South Rotary Foundation is proud to recognize and support an incredible group of nonprofit organizations that are making a lasting impact across Dane County. Through our 2025 grant program, we awarded funding to 25 local organizations whose missions align with our focus on disadvantaged youth, family support, education, wellness, and community connection.
From literacy and early learning initiatives to mental health support, job readiness, mentorship, and inclusive programming, these nonprofits are working every day to lift up our neighbors, reduce barriers, and create opportunities for all. Each grant represents more than financial support—it reflects our commitment to building a stronger, more compassionate community.
To our 2025 grant partners: thank you for your passion, dedication, and tireless work. We are honored to support your efforts and look forward to seeing the positive impact you continue to make.
Together, we are making a difference.
