July 27 - Steering Committee at Cleary's at Noon.
July 31 - Lori Blough's program is "Vision Quest."
Club Business
Dues: You will receive your dues billing statement soon for the Rotary year that began July 1. In order to streamline the dues payment system and take a load off our Secretary and Treasurer, the board has decided to bill each member $500 per year. This amount is your dues and includes a free lunch each meeting Monday. Dues may be paid quarterly, biannually, or annually.
The board has spent considerable energy thinking this through and hopes it is fair to everyone. Researching other clubs found that this is a common way to handle dues.
If you feel this is a hardship, please see President Jim or any board member. Snowbirds - let us know when you will be away and we can take you off the roll for a quarter at a time. As Rotarians the last thing we want to do is force any of our fellow members to reconsider their membership.

Sergeant - at - Arms: Sergeant-at-Arms is going to handle all the announcements instead of having happy dollars and announcements as two separate items.
Sergeant-at-Arms is going to run the 50/50 and we're going to go back to selling tickets during the meal. Ticket sales will be delegated to new members to get them involved right away and give them a few chances to meet all of the members.
Fundraising: Stay tuned for an exciting announcement from the Fundrasing Committee.
Last Monday's Headlines: "Four High Schools in Howell's Future"
Last Wednesday's Headlines: "Housing Starts Down 54%"
Isn't somebody coordinating the future here?
Did anyone notice that the Tigers are STILL in first place?
A message from Bill Boyd, our new Rotary International President:
"My theme for the 2006-2007 year, LEAD THE WAY reflects my belief in the power of Rotarians to change the world . Together 1.2 million Rotarians will LEAD THE WAY to a brighter future through fellowship and service.

Today's world needs heroes, not celebrities. All of us in Rotary are ordinary people with busy lives, striving to do our best. Quietly, in thousands of different ways, we are working to make the world a better, healthier, and safer place. I believe strongly that we, as Rotarians, must be motivated in our choice of service much more by what is practical and necessary than by what tugs at our emotions.
Throughout the world, there are so many tremendous needs. As Rotarians, it is easy to want to meet them all, but as practical people, we know that we must apply our efforts where they can do the most good. For this reason, I have chosen water management, literacy, health, hunger, and the Family of Rotary as my emphases for 2006-2007."
