President: Ken
Meyer - I am a relatively
new member of Rotary. I joined the Madison club on
May 7, 2006, and have enjoyed my involvement in Rotary
immensely. The fun at club meetings, the
interesting meeting programs, and the community work
that the club supports are the things that keep me
coming to Rotary. I would like to see our club
grow in the coming years so that more people in the
Madison area can share in the benefits of Rotary
membership.
Presently, I serve the citizens of Lake County as their
elected State’s Attorney. I began serving in that
position in January 2007. My wife Casualene and I
enjoy living in Madison with our six children.
Past President: Jack Walters -- Jack teaches Management at Dakota State
University and conducts research on technology adoption
practices and professional ethics. He moved to Madison and
Dakota State in August of 2005, and soon after transferred his
membership from the Bartow Rotary Club in Florida. Jack has had
extensive involvement in civic clubs, including serving as
President of a Sertoma Club in the 1990s. He has two grown
daughters, one a stay-at-home mom in New Jersey, the other a
graduate student and medical assistant in Florida. He is married
to Sirje Kiin, a writer and comparative literature expert from
Estonia. Jack's term as president ended on June 30, 2010.
Secretary: Marcia
Bunger -
On my first day
of working in the Lake County FSA Office (9/17/07), I
was invited by Rotarian Mark Stearns to attend Rotary as
his guest. Shortly thereafter I became a member of
Madison Rotary Club. I am a 1982 graduate of
Augustana
College
with a degree in Communications & Business
Administration. Since 1987 I have been employed
with USDA working for the Farm Service Agency. My
husband & I farm north of
Spencer,
SD
where we raise cattle, corn & soybeans. We have 2
children – Matthew (25) living & working in
Brookings
SD
at Daktronics, and Marrissa (23), living & attending
graduate school at USD in Vermillion, SD. In my
short time being involved with Rotary, I’ve been
inspired by my fellow Rotarian’s willingness to help
others.
Treasurer: Clair Welbon --
Clair is a Madison native who graduated from SDSU in
1955. After graduation he started working for the USDA
