Rotary Minute
 
Rotary Minute by Cathy Carlson: If we ever needed peace in the world and for our minds, we need it now.  Did you know that Rotary has an official “Rotary Peace Center” which are offered hosted at seven leading universities around the world? These centers offer Rotarians Peace Fellow programs with three areas of study: conflict resolution, peace and international relations. If you are interested in this program, consider applying!
 
Announcements
 
Jennifer St Clair: 1) Thank you to those who volunteered at Resource West on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Each group put together over 100 backpacks for local students. 2) Unfortunately, our Saturday service project, Big Island and Back, was cancelled due to rain. 3) The group was asked if we would like to start volunteering, onsite, with Loaves and Fishes again? The consensus was yes.
 
Ann W: Burgers and Buns event at Ann’s house – next week, Thursday August 19 from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. Please let Ann know if you are coming, how many in your party and what you are bringing.

Program
 
Program/Links & Libations - The program was all about our upcoming Links & Libations Gulf Tournaments. Some highlights/discussion points:
 
Silent Auction (Mac, Cathy, Char and Patti) – Everyone in attendance signed up to participate in a basket. We are asking for three people to help create one themed basket. Basket should have a value of approximately $60. If you were not in attendance, reach out to Cathy Carlson for your basket assignment. We are also asking all club members to help secure other items and gift certificates. When you are visiting your favorite establishment, consider asking for a donation. Items and/or gift certificates would be great. All items secured should be reported to and brought to Cathy Carlson. All gift certificates should be reported to and brought to Patti Sinykin. 
 
The silent auction will be outside this year. If you have tents, let Ann know.
 
Sponsorships (Alexa and Chris): Sponsorship levels this year are $1000, $500, $300
and $150. Send in all sponsorship information to Chris R. Chris needs to know your sponsorship level and how many golfers you will have. Depending on how many sponsors we have will determine how many individual golfers we can have.
