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.
 
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.
 
 
Rotarian at Work T-shirt -- Nikole also announced that she has one more "Rotarian at Work" t-shirt, size medium, available for $8.00. See Nikole if you're interested.
 
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.
 
Ribfest -- Volunteer sign up sheets will be passed around at next week's meeting. Ribfest is Labor Day Weekend, Friday-Monday afternoon.
 
Runway 5K -- Sue Panek was happy to announce 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.
