What is Oral History? And Why Does it Matter?
Oct. 29, 2019
The term oral history appears a lot online, so much so that its true meaning has become obscured. Professional oral historians, such as UW-Madison Oral History Program Head Troy Reeves, have tried to push back against this phenomenon through his writings and presentations, including showing examples of “real” oral history done by Wisconsin organizations, including the WHS. So, join him as he answers two questions: What’s oral history? And why does it matter? Provided by Sherry Fontaine |

Now, she writes insurance information by day and children’s books by night. She has 10 books currently available:

Updates on MacKenzie Environmental Center
Feb. 18, 2020
The Friends of MacKenzie Environmental Center Articles of Incorporation were filed in December, 1978, and I have been a member ever since. I joined the Friends because it was easy to share the enthusiasm and vision of some of the early members who foresaw the need for educating grade school students on conservation and environmental matters outside the classroom. With an increasing percentage of our population living farther away from fields and forest, fewer family members are able to serve as outdoor mentors for our children. The MacKenzie Center continues to fill that mentor gap by connecting our young people with their natural heritage. I was first involved with the Friends’ Board in the 1980’s when I served with some other very dedicated people on the Board. More recently, since retirement, I have been a volunteer for work days at the Center and at Maple Fest. The best thing about being part of the Friends organization is the dedication and spirit of the volunteers and members which continues to amaze and uplift me. Provided by Jane LaMere |

Meet the 2019 - 2020 District 6250 Governor
Apr. 28, 2020 8:00 a.m.
https://zoom.us/j/964291657Meet 2019 - 2020 District 6250 Governor - Edwin BosEdwin Bos has been a proud member of the Fort Atkinson Rotary club since 2003. He has served on the Board of Directors, as Youth Exchange Officer, as the chair of several club construction projects, as Club President in 2012-13 and as Assistant Governor from 2014-2017. Edwin is a graduate of Fort Atkinson High School, the University of Wisconsin-Madison (BSc Civil Engineering) and the Rotterdam School of Management (MBA). After graduation he spent ten years working for a large Dutch construction company primarily in Amsterdam, Istanbul and the Caribbean.
Edwin strongly supports Rotary’s many exchange programs in part because exchange programs have defined his own life. His Dutch immigrant parents came to Fort Atkinson under the auspices of a Farm Bureau exchange. After studying in Madison Edwin took part in an IAESTE work exchange to Gothenburg, Sweden and, after studying in Rotterdam, he participated in an AIESEC work exchange to Poznan, Poland where he met his wife Joanna. Since returning to Fort Atkinson they have hosted two inbound exchange students. Edwin has participated in several District 6250 Friendship Exchanges. He traveled to India with an RFE team led by PDG Dean Ryerson. While in India he met Dr. Anouke Arakal of the Pondicherry Beach Town Rotary Club and that connection led to a Rotary Global Grant, sponsored by the Fort Atkinson Rotary Club, which funded four dialysis machines in Pondicherry. He’s traveled to the Philippines with an RFE team led by Ms. Darla Leick of Marshfield Sunrise. That RFE led to a friendship with Rotarian Roger de Guzman of the Kalibo Rotary Club and a Rotary Global Grant, sponsored by the five clubs in Assistant Governor group #8, for a pipeline that brought potable water to two spirited villages. He’s traveled to Nepal with an RFE team led by current District Friendship Exchange chair Dr. Dave Clemens and, most recently, he led an RFE team from his Assistant Governor group back to the Philippines to help dedicate their water pipeline project and to establish new Rotary friendships and contacts. Edwin and Joanna live in Fort Atkinson. Their oldest son, Harry, is attending the University of Alabama and is a member of the Rotaract Club there. There youngest son, Ernest, is co-president of the High School Interact Club and is planning to attend Arizona State. Edwin is a past member of the Fort Atkinson School Board, a Paul Harris plus member, a sustaining member, and a Paul Harris society member. He, his brother and their wives own and operate Bos Design Builders LLC in Fort Atkinson. In his spare time, he enjoys activities that involve spending time with friends, family and anyone who enjoys a little gezelligheid. Something that he feels Rotary and Rotarians already have in spades! |
