GREETERS:  Thank you to new members, Otis Wragg and Bob Weinman who served as greeters.   Otis introduced several Visiting Rotarians and guests, including several potential new members. 
 
AUGUST BIRTHDAYS:  Happy Birthday to Diane Johnson (6th) Karen McRight (7th) Kris Hammond (13th) Geneva Taylor (15th) Dave Zabel (27th) and Ron Thom (28th)
 
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY consisted of a practice song (Let There Be Peace on Earth) for the Pavilion Dedication.   Thank you to Brian Harrington who did his best to lead us without proper instrumentation and how we wish he could be at the Dedication!   However, we will be led in song at the dedication by Chamberlain and Birch ,who are providing music before and after the program.   We can do it! 
 
ANNOUNCEMENTS:    
Ian Wagner asked for a few more volunteers for next week’s Peace Pavilion Dedication.   We added “bike attendants” and need a couple more people for that.  Also, please stay for the tear down/ clean-up if at all possible.    I have attached the most recent sign up list so everyone can remember where/when to show up!   Yes, it is against my quest to use VolunteerSpot for all sign ups, but for this one, okay!  Thanks everyone for your volunteer commitments!
 
John Holloway – Pavilion Parking  John explained the parking arrangements for the Dedication, encouraging people to ride bikes, carpool and walk or use our parking shuttle from the “upper lot” which is at the intersection of Walton Creek Rd. and Rte 40.  The City is providing a people mover, driven by David Wittlinger,  from that lot for those who prefer not to walk the distance to the Pavilion.  John also thanked Steve Frasier for his offer of vans from Mountain Resorts to shuttle from the Meadows parking lot, but with it being the week of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge, the Meadows is unavailable.   Kerry Shea also mentioned we could use the Wild Horse parking area.
 
Also, please note:  EVERYONE IS ENCOURAGED TO HELP US KEEP THE CORE TRAIL OPEN so that the community is not adversely affected by our event.  Blocking the trail would not promote peace!   So please be aware and help others be aware too! 
 
STEAMBOAT MINUTE:   Rex Brice, owner of the Rex’s Family of Restaurants (5 of them) and Angela Catterson, who has an accounting firm, in partnership with her husband, Chris, called Catterson & Company shared 30 sec. each for their quick overview of their classifications.   Be ready when your turn comes around…
 
PROGRAM:  
Thank you to Tom Tudor, Past President  (5 times!) from Colorado Springs Rotary and President of the Society of Honor Guard, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.   Tom presented another riveting and fact filled presentation:  “Who’s Buried at Arlington National Cemetery?”   There were many surprises about who is buried there, as well as who is not!   Tom’s knowledge is amazing and we were fortunate to have him with us once again for an informative and enriching presentation.      
 
GOOD NEWS:  Thank you to Jim Moylan who did Good News    Not only was our “good news” extra interesting, but so was Jim, as we tried to figure out just what he was “up to.”  
 
Good News: $244
Attendance: 52%
 
Program Next Week:   Peace Pavilion Dedication at 5:30.  No noon meeting.   You won’t want to miss this one, unless you really must!   See you there!
 
Respectfully submitted,
Ellen Kendall, Club President
