Way to go with hands-on service!

 

Special Presidential Thanks: Tom Vettel is awarding special recognition over the next several weeks to members who have gone above and beyond in their service to the club, often in behind-the-scenes ways. He awarded three certificates at our June 10 meeting. Congratulations and gratitude for putting service above self go to:

 

Bruce Lea, for all his work on the Education Foundation to provide scholarships for hardworking and deserving students. He's the guy who makes it all happen.
Chris Pierson, for all his efforts toward making the international dental clinic a reality, including persevering towards District and RI matching grants. 
Steve Hance, for the many, many hours he has put in on Rotary Youth Exchange planning, finding sponsors, and guiding students and families. 

 

Board Planning Session Thanks to Greg Rye, Mark Lauffenburger, and Tom Vettel for leading an evening off-site for the board last week, and to every member who gave feedback through the mini-survey. Both incoming and outgoing boards gathered to define direction and plans for the upcoming Rotary year.  The results of our recent club survey were reviewed during this meeting, and you have been heard: member feedback is shaping plans for 2015-16. Stay tuned!
