July 16 Meeting -- President Christy Marquardt announced that the Club's meeting on July 16 will be held at Evergreen, with a tour of the new facilities there. More info next week.
Raffle is at $60, which Bill Bracken will win later in the month.
EAA Volunteer Opps -- Nikole Vergin reminded members that volunteers are still needed for various jobs at EAA. Recall our Club volunteers in return for use of the EAA Nature Center Pavilion to host the annual International Rotary Corn Roast during EAA AirVenture. Lori Renning recently sent an e-mail outlining the various volunteer opportunities. Don't forget you get a free pass to EAA for one day in return for volunteering.
Nikole also mentioned that volunteers - and donations - are needed for the Back to School Fair.
And volunteers are needed Labor Day weekend for Wisconsin' Best Rib Fest. Sign-up sheets will be available today and weeks to come. Make a commitment to help make this joint Rotary project a success again.
Karen Schibline mentioned that Rib Fest tickets are available. $5 for daily pass and $20 for the weekend. The weekend pass also allows patrons to come and go freely throughout the event.
Shared Harvest -- Michael Audit said the schedule for volunteers for Shared Harvest is "pretty well set" for the next couple of weeks ... or it was until Kathy Propp advised Michael that she and her husband would not be available to help as scheduled on July 21. Contact Michael if you can assist on that date or any other date in the future. Shared Harvest gathers fruits and vegetables from the vendors at the end of the Farmer's Market on Saturday. Time required is from about 11:30 to 12:30 to pull wagons around and ask for donations from vendors.
Runway 5K -- Sue Panek reminded us that EAA has chosen the United Way as the recipient of the monies raised during its annual Runway 5K race, which will be held on Saturday, July 28. Sue noted that 80 volunteers will be needed and all volunteers will receive a wristband to attend the event that day. (Note Saturday evening is the second night air show and fireworks display, and your wristband is good through that activity.) Volunteers are needed at various times form 5 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Sue passed around a sign-up sheet. She noted that all volunteers will receive a LiveUnited t-shirt to wear that day.
President Christy announced there will be a going away party for Michel on Wednesday, July 18th. It will be an outside event at the Best Western. She may have given the times, but I missed it. Final details this week.
