November 20 was our annual Manfred E. Swarsensky Humanitarian Service Award presentation. Fellow Rotarian Oscar Mireles, who has done so much for the Madison community, was the recipient of the award. Our speaker was fellow Rotarian Renee Moe, President and CEO of United Way of Dane County. She spoke to us of “The Importance of Volunteering.” When Renee was 28, former Rotarian Dr. Suresh Chandra, himself a Swarsensky Award recipient, explained to her the benefits of volunteering. It inspired her. She inspired us with the knowledge that volunteering can bring us personal happiness as we help our community. United Way helps people find opportunities to help others.
