Some news tidbits; Let's all congratulate Amy Hietapelto. She was front page news on Sunday being named to serve as interim executive vice chancellor for academic affairs at UMD. Well deserved Amy. We had a little scare last week, but the news of Kent Oliver's demise was premature (for a long while we hope). Seems that there was a Kenneth Oliver in the obituaries. I got a worried call from Harry Podgorski, but told him that I knew where to find the answer quickly. Later Harry spoke to Kent. Also in the obituaries this week sadly was Tammy Pagel. Tammy was the niece to a past Skyline Rotarian, Marilyn Peterson. When Tammy was in her twenties Marilyn donated a kidney to her which increased Tammy's life by these last twenty years. That year Marilyn was named Rotarian of the Year by our Club.
Keep Superior Rotarian Paul Damberg in your thoughts and prayers. He has just undergone a life threatening medical episode. We hope that he is improving, but it is still too soon to know.
We heard that the Air Show set up crew is not needed for Wednesday the 23rd, but still is needed on Thursday the 27th.

Last Sunday was our Family Picnic at Lester Park. We were graced with a nice breeze off of the big lake to keep us cool. Chef extrodinaire Chris grilled up a storm and everybody got their fill.

See you on Friday. This is a sneak peek of the health care center in Nigeria that we were recently awarded a grant to help build. We hope to share a Zoom meeting with the Maryland Club in Nigeria and our Club at a future date.
