What the Boys and Girls Club of Dane County is planning/doing in Sun Prairie
Apr. 16, 2019
MICHAEL JOHNSON, MBA – PRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERMichael is the President & CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County and led the agency on an amazing journey of change – transforming the organization from a local children’s charity to a change agent for children and families while driving high standards of excellence in financial transparency, community engagement and governance; all with the goal of making a significant, measurable impact in the lives of children and their families. In eight years as their CEO, the Club made significant accomplishments: They developed a bold, five-year $15M plan that resulted in more than doubling the number of children and families being served in South Central Wisconsin, tripled the number of employees and grew their operating budget by 318 % during his tenure. Johnson left Boys & Girls Clubs in June of 2018 to become President & CEO of United Way of Greater Cincinnati and resigned after four months to return to his role with the Club. Michael earned a BA in Business Education from Chicago State University and an MBA from the University of Phoenix. He also holds a certification in fundraising management from the Center of Philanthropy at Indiana University, a certification in human resource management from Cornell University and an Advanced Leadership Certification from the University of Michigan, Ross School of Business |

Based upon input from our club members as to the suggested dates, I have determined that Sat., Nov 10th would work best for our Hwy Cleanup. Not only are there the fewest scheduling conflicts, but we know that by then the weeds and bugs will be knocked back by freezing temperatures. Please put this date on your calendars. I will circulate a sign up sheet later in October. Thank you very much. Andy |

University of Wisconsin Organ and Tissue Donation Program
Jul. 23, 2019
Meet Gary Einerson, one of the few people who has experienced organ, tissue and eye donation from both sides.
Gary received two cornea transplants about eight years ago and a liver transplant in 2012. Then, on October 25, 2015, his wife, Sandi, died suddenly after a cerebral hemorrhage and was able to donate her kidneys and liver.
“She always wanted to be an organ donor but thought she was too old,” says Gary.
Even before he lost his wife, Gary, now 78, had volunteered his time on the UW Health Transplant Program’s Patient Family Advisory Council (PFAC). But after Sandi became an organ donor, Gary became a force to be reckoned with.
A retired high school principal, he has spoken to teen driver’s education classes about the importance of being an organ donor and to new transplant nurses at University Hospital about the needs of the patients. When SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital in Madison unveiled its new donor wall and flag in October 2015, he spoke at the ceremony, sharing his gratitude for the care his wife and family received at the hospital.
“It was hard initially to talk about my wife,” says Gary. “It still is. But you learn to frame it in such a way that it feels good to talk about.”
In fact, it feels so good — and Gary is so passionate about this mission — that he has made a concerted effort to speak at as many venues as possible. “You put more than two people together, and I’ll talk to them about organ donation,” says Gary.
Both Gary and his daughter, Jane Bumgardner, of Sturgeon Bay (who also volunteers as a speaker), consider it a tribute to their wife and mother to spend their time promoting organ donation. Sandi, who was always on the move, was a retired teacher and active at their church. She logged more than 30,000 miles a year traveling back and forth to Chicago to see their grandchildren. Since losing her mother, Jane has corresponded with the man who received Sandi’s liver.
“My life was saved, and my wife saved lives,” says Gary. “Registering as an organ, tissue and eye donation is something I encourage everyone to strongly consider.” https://www.uwhealth.org/organ-donation/gary-einerson-a-passion-for-organ-donation/50688 Provided by Anne Weber |

Full Mile Beer Co.& Kitchen
Jul. 30, 2019
Co-owners and Sun Prairie residents Nathan Kinderman and C.J. Hall have known each other since 7th grade, growing up in Oregon, WI. After a handful of discussions during high school class reunions and other get togethers the pair decided to get serious about creating the brewery and restaurant that had been rolling through both their minds for quite a few years. By this time Nathan had spent years in the restaurant and tavern business, most recently as bar manager at Sardine in Madison, WI and as a co-owner of Gates & Brovi, also in Madison. C.J. was a purveyor of branding, marketing and graphic and web design by day and a dedicated homebrewer by nights and weekends. By late 2015 Full Mile Beer Co. & Kitchen was officially licensed with the state and by mid-2016 funding was secured to get FMBC&K off the ground. A location in downtown Sun Prairie, WI was settled on in late 2016 and after many hoops were cleared and a few cuss words uttered, construction on the building that would house FMBC&K began in late 2017. At the helm of the FMBC&K brewhouse is Head Brewer Skyler Kottwitz. Skyler comes to us with years of commercial brewing experience, including stints at local greats Octopi Brewing and New Glarus Brewing. Leading our kitchen is Head Chef Zac Vieth who has over 20 years of experience in kitchens in Seattle, Washington and the Madison area. Our Front of House Manager Rachel Westendorf has years of service industry experience including work in other brewpubs throughout the country. She oversees many aspects of customer service for FMBC&K. https://www.fullmilebeercompany.com/

Climate Change
Aug. 06, 2019
At UW-Madison, Williams uses fossil records from the last ice age to study how species and ecosystems adapt to a rapidly changing world. “We live in a changing world – change is inevitable — and people are unsettled by that,” he says. “Populations are growing worldwide. Climates are changing worldwide. Economies are changing worldwide. Our goal is to give people the best information about how the world is changing, and why, and then leave it to our democracies to figure out how best to move forward.” Research in his lab spans the gamut, from field coring of lake sediments, to analyses of these sediments in the lab (mainly fossil pollen, charcoal, and related signals of past ecological and climatic changes) to continental- to global-scale syntheses of ecological data and climate models. Much of the research, including that on kettle lakes in Wisconsin, relies on the geological record and the last Ice Age as a model system to see how species have responded to past climate change.
