After listening to the Brazilian national anthem (with the Portuguese words and English translation provided by President Lori) and singing the American and Canadian anthems, we proceeded to introduce our guests. Luíza Pessôa do Nascimento Andrade, our Brazilian exchange student, made her first meeting and along with her were her first host family parents, Brent and Michelle Klinnert and their two daughters, Elizabeth and Grace (they also have two boys, Daniel and Andrew). What will be Lulie's second host family was also in attendance, Kyle and Tammy Richards and their children, Alex and Alea. They were all welcomed to the meeting, with Lori presenting a club banner to Lulie. Lori announced that last week's baby picture captured Brad Hoganson in his youth and once again Keith Olson was the lone Rotarian guessing the correct person. She also reported that all school board candidates have accepted the invitation to the School Board Forum we are going to be hosting at the Center for the Arts on October 22nd. Lulie made some brief comments on her trip from Brazil to get here and spending the prior weekend camping, her first such experience, as was enjoying the campfire s'mores. Jamie Larson reported that it took until this past Monday but we sold every box of peaches. Jamie spent a lot of time on this and we greatly appreciate his efforts as well as those Rotarians he also named: Keith Olson, Steve Leitte, John MacFarlane, Steve Andrews, Kathy Austvold and Pete Wasberg. Another successful peach sale! After breaking into our committees each committee reported out on what they were planning for this Rotary year. |
