The Betty von Rutenberg Memorial Scholarship was established by TEMPO Madison to honor the spirit of their valued and cherished friend.
THIS IS A RAIN OR SHINE EVENT.
*Receipt letters will be issued to each donor directly from Madison Community Foundation
More about BETTY VON RUTENBERG SCHOLARSHIP: Betty von Rutenberg encouraged women to seek their own strengths; to dedicate their skills to their community, their professions and their families; and to see, as Betty saw, that there is beauty in everyone. Betty lent her support to many worthwhile endeavors. She brightened a room with her sense of humor, yet never lost sight of what was truly important in life. Betty could easily detect if an individual had ‘street’ smarts or ‘book’ smarts and which would serve a person the most in the long run.
The recipient of the BVR Memorial Scholarship must be a female high school student who shares the steadfast commitment to community and the dedication to others that Betty possessed. The recipient must be a young woman of strong character, initiative, leadership and compassion. Each of the last three years, the BVR Memorial Scholarship has awarded a Dane County graduating senior a $5,000 scholarship in honor of your continued contributions.

Expressions Club meeting
Toastmasters #9769 |
| 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. |
TDS, 525 Junction Rd |
Toastmasters is a supportive, welcoming environment designed to help anyone hoping to improve their public speaking and communication skills. If you’re looking to improve simply your speaking skills or find a place to hone your public speaking skills, Toastmasters is for you. Maybe you’re interested in pursuing a promotion and need to gain leadership skills, Toastmasters can help. Need cold calling skills so you can think on your feet? Try out our impromptu speaking opportunities during each meeting.
Regular meetings afford members a chance to learn communication skills using an incremental, self-paced program. Membership includes a "Competent Communicator" and "Competent Leader" guide. Individuals take turns giving prepared and impromptu talks, and serving in a variety of meeting roles that mirror those in business and nonprofit organizations. We practice and encourage one another, in a respectful and empathetic environment, while learning to conquer the fear of speaking, overcome obstacles to clear communication, and reshape habits that will enhance our professional growth.
Visitors are always welcome. Please come and see what everyone is talking about.

"Fun-Raiser" and Ice Cream Social to benefit the Madison Speed Skating Club's Olympic Dream Fund |
| 6:30 - 8:30 PM |
McKee Farms Park Pavilion, 2930 Chapel Valley Road, Fitchburg, WI 53711 |
Please join us for an evening of summer fun and gratitude! All are welcome. Bring your kids/friends, play at the Dream Park, make a sundae with premium Chocolate Shoppe ice cream, and listen to family-friendly old-time and Celtic music by Madison’s own Moldy Jam. The band members range in age from 16 to 60, and they have performed on WORT and Wisconsin Public Radio! This spacious park has tennis courts, a basketball court, soccer fields, and sand volleyball courts. Madison-area speed skaters will be in attendance to explain their passion for this exciting sport.
Help us meet our goal to raise one-third of the expected equipment and travel costs for the 2009-2010 skating season, which will likely include two trips to Salt Lake City. There will be a raffle for items donated from local businesses, including two tickets to a Brewer game!
RSVP by 8/24 to my email, with number of people, to help us know how much ice cream to get. |

Suggested donation $10 per person ($20 family cap) |
