Rotary 2000 received recognition for it's record of service to the community during the Ketchikan CHARR King Salmon Derby as a community service organization. Derby Director Michael Briggs thanked Rotary 2000 during the Awards Night Gathering at the Ted Ferry Civic Center on June 23, 2017. The CHARR King Salmon Derby provides youth scholarships in addition to providing funding to several community service organizations. There are four organizations manning the weigh stations. Each organization receives a check for $2500. That amounts to $10,000 going back into our community in addition to the scholarships. The Derby celebrated it's 70th anniversary this year, easily pre-dating statehood. There were many in our club who covered more than one shift. Thank you to each one who helped support this great fundraiser for the club as well as helping make a difference in our community. |

Rotary was so much fun yesterday. First we had the pleasure of having a fellow Rotarian Matt Weaver of the Rotary Club of Tulare CA. He brought his niece and son to learn a little about an Alaskan Rotary Club. We also had a special guest, Patrick Monrean, Fred's brother. To top of an excellent afternoon of fellowship we got to see Kirsten's South African presentation as well as her West Coast Tour presentation. She did such a good job with her presentations even with some laptop, projector malfunctions. |

KTN to ANC is $139 each way right now!! Can you share this with your Rotary Clubs?
Also... Alyeska hotel will fill up fast due to a movie they are filming the same time of our conference, so folks will want to book now. The only bad thing is they require full payment on a credit card at the time of booking. Please pass the message to anyone interested in attending Dist Conference! Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also there is a discount code on the District 5010 Clubrunner site for the airline tickets. Be sure to let the hotel know you are there for Conference to get the Rotary rate.

Merry Christmas to all. Photos have been loaded in the albums. The meeting this week was writing a poem, song, dedication, etc. to a selected fellow Rotarian.

Check the albums on Clubrunner or Facebook for more pictures to enjoy.
