Tomas blowing out the candles on his birthday cake at the home of Thom and Brenda Weiss. Farewell to Tomas from the Czech Republic Club members gathered at the home of Thom and Brenda Weiss on Sunday August 3 for a cookout and birthday cake, to say farewell to Tomas, our exchange student from the Czech Republic from a couple of years ago. Tomas visited Madison for a month and stayed with the Weisses. Tomas had offered to do chores for club members and did some gardening with Helen Baldwin on Monday July 21and cooked an Asian dinner and a pie with Eng and Bill Braun on Sunday, July 27. Club members were invited. Tomas had spoken to the club on July 28 when he showed slides of Prague, where he has started at Medical School, right out of high school. In the Czech Republic, he has joined Rotex, for former outbounds and also Roteract which supports an orphanage. and where they will start teaching English. Youth Protection Background Checks A background check is needed if you expect to sign up to drive our next exchange student to school. Rhea Myer, the club’s youth protection officer, must send in our annual request for background checks for those who anticipate having one-on-one contact with children as a part of their Rotary year. This renewal background check is required each year by District rules and we choose to do it as of the end of July. The club has budgeted for the cost, which probably remains at $11.50 per head. Unless you contact Rhea, he will send in the continuing list of people to renew their authorization: Paint-a-thon August 2 Breakfast Rotary teamed up with the After Hours Rotary for the August 2 Paint-a-thon, a program of Project Home. Brenda Weiss coordinated the project where volunteers from both clubs painted the exterior home of a family on Toban Drive. Hallman Lindsay Paint Company provided the paint and the Manna Café provided lunch for the painters. Project Home paints 8 to 12 homes in Dane County every year. Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. – Confucius MADISON BREAKFAST ROTARY P.O. Box 5524, Madison, WI 53705 Rotary International President Gary C.K.
