Just a reminder that the Rotary Lunch Bunch will be meeting next Wednesday, September 23rd at Noon at Sam & Louie's Pizza in Elkhorn. Our speaker will be Jill Muegge sharing pictures and stories about her recent two week trip to Viet Nam.
Mark your calendars for our annual Rotary Salvation Army bell ringing. This year we will need volunteers for one hour increments from 10:00AM to 8:00PM on the days of November 23rd, 24th, and 25th. We will be back at the Family Fare Store on 204th & Pacific Street. Sign-up sheets will be out around the 1st of November.
Our speaker of the day was Ethan Copple, who recently received the award for the American Legion 2015 National Eagle Scout of the Year. He had some audio/visual presentations to illustrate and tell us about his scouting career and also his Eagle Scout projects in Elkhorn. Of special interest was his work done to create Korean War and Viet Nam War memorials at Prospect Hill Cemetary. Ethan's parents Bob and Kim Copple were in attendance and have a great deal to be proud of Ethan. Ethan's troop is 357 headquartered at Elkhorn Hills United Methodist Church.
Did I hear that Mike Ough was an Eagle Scout? Are there any other former Eagle Scouts?
Other activities at the meeting included a discussion of a potential attendee at the Rotary Leadership Institute from our club. Jim reported on the Sep 9 lunch bunch (see his story elsewhere in the bulletin). Jim also mentioned the next lunch bunch at Sam & Louie's. Rita mentioned a potential dive location that provides "Test Tickles" for interested customers. Diane volunteered to explore arrangements for a Dive, perhaps at Rita's suggested Location.
