Meanwhile, her sister set up a Meal Train account for the family at http://mealtrain.com/2086ym. Meg has also requested some help running our very active Membership Committee. If you're interested, please contact me.In other news, in Borja's and Janika's absence, Teresa and Joan suggested several ways to become more involved with our exchange students.

Thank you to everyone who has signed up to pour beer at Oktoberfest on September 8th. I have attached the most recent sign-up sheet so you can confirm your commitment and see the open slots.
We are so close to filling the schedule for Oktoberfest, but we need one last push to get us where we need to be. Please look it over and let Mike or me know if you and your family and friends can help with this extremely fun and lucrative project. As you will see, we have spots at various times and tents. Of special note is afternoon Breck Brewery tent #2 which is a six person tent and wide open. This means you can take the whole tent and fill it with exactly your favorite people!
Again, thank you for all your help with this project. We look forward to hearing from you.

Loic and his family will be visiting and since we will not be having a meeting that week we are having beverages and light appetizers at the Preaus house on Monday July 30th at 5pm. Address 356 Rainbow Court Silverthorne. Please email David at david@creativecabinetry.com if you plan to attend so we can plan accordingly.
Following extensive discussion during the April 10 meeting of the club's Board of Directors, it was decided that the current Satellite / Evening meeting will be discontinued due to very low levels of participation. The eight members currently on the rolls as "Satellite" will be invited to continue in a new category of Active membership in our club, "Associate". Under a limited grandfather provision, their quarterly dues will remain at $100 and will now include the cost of two breakfast meetings per quarter. Those Associate members are encouraged to attend breakfast meetings in addition to those two (subject to payment of the meeting guest fee, currently $15), to participate in the club's monthly Happy Hour social gathering, and to participate in meetings and service projects of any of the club's committees. The club will endeavor to maintain strong communications with those members through the weekly ebulletin, other special communications, and personal contacts. Any of those Associate members may permanently convert to full breakfast membership by notifying the club Secretary and/or Treasurer in writing.

And, to get instant access to the contact information for every one of our club members, or for any of the members of almost any other Rotary club in our District 5450, download the CR "Clubrunner" app to your mobile phone now.

True statement
Membership Committee News
We want to thank all of those sponsors who are identifying community leaders/business professionals and bringing them to our meetings. Remember, a Prospective Member should attend 3 meetings before turning in his/her application, sponsor form, a short bio and $100 application fee to the Membership Director,\ Meg Boyer or any one on the Membership Committee. The application will be presented to the Membership Committee for approval and then the Board of Directors. Once approved, the applicant's bio will be posted in our bulletin for 3 weeks. If there are no questions about the Prospective Member the induction will be scheduled.
The primary sponsor will mentor the new member through the Red Badge process. We encourage all members to interact with Prospective/New Members as much as possible. One of the Red Badge requirements is to be a greeter 3 times. Because our club is growing and we are experiencing so many guests, greeters are very important. You don't have to be a new member to be a greeter. It is just one more way of participating in Club Service.
Membership Committee Members are: Meg Boyer, Julianne Gilchrist, Tom Marmins, Sandy Mortensen, Ann Clement, Susan Juergensmeier, Rolando Cuadrado, Dan Gibbs, Mike Connolly, Peggy Beeler, Stephanie Katz and Carolyn Maessen.
