Hiking/Skiing Fellowship
This fellowship plans outdoor outings, generally within an hour of the Madison area-about 4-6 events during the hiking season, and usually one winter hike on Lake Mendota.
In the winter, we'll plan some downhill and cross-country ski events in the Madison region. Spouses/guests are welcome. A meal or social event may follow some of these events.
Rotary Youth Exchange Committee
The RYE Committee plans and administers the Rotary Youth Exchange program for area high school students.
