Good Morning Rotarians,
 
Last Wednesday we worked in our respective committees and presented reports that focused on initiatives for the remainder of the Rotary calendar year as well as the normal calendar year.  We have Southeast Polk's Iowa Industrial Technology Exposition still to come on May 8th and will be needing judges to volunteer for that.  Also, the Community Service Committee is working on ordering new polo shirts for club members, but there is quite a bit of red tape surrounding the official Rotary wheel symbol.  They are working through that.  
 
Also in the last week we've learned that we have identified a number of students to attend this summer's RYLA event.  Eric Borseth has been leading that effort and although it's early, it appears that this could be one of our best years for placing local students in RYLA's summer camp.  Gary Welch is again heading the District's RYLA leadership and needs more volunteers to help.  If you are interested, please email Gary at gwelch3002@msn.com.  He will provide more details.
 
Tomorrow Eric Borseth is our Rotarian of the Day and will be bringing Scott Sailor.  Scott is the Director of the Consumer Experience for the Iowa Cubs, which is very close to kicking off their 2015 season.  Since the Iowa Cubs have generously supported our prior Fall fundraisers with a sky box donation, let's show up tomorrow to support him and show appreciation.  Tomorrow's Sergeant at Arms is Paul Cornelius. 
 
Finally, tomorrow is Food Pantry Day.  Since we don't have an official "item" to bring, we know that they can always use canned tuna, so let's make that our official food item for April 1st.  Hunger doesn't take a day off for April Fool's or warm weather so let's continue our support as aligned with our sunnier dispositions.  We'll see everyone at 7:00.
