Rotary Meeting Aug 4

Pres Cheryle opened the meeting with perfect attendance pin awards to Bobi, Ron, Dennis and John. Lots of make-ups in that group....well done!

Matthew Tolley was introduced as our club's newest member ....welcome Matthew! 

Our outbound student Avry then spoke on his Thailand exchange plans. He leaves Aug 9th for his host city of Udon Thani in the Northeast region. He is (relatively) near the Laos and Viet Nam borders so we hope he gets to tour them both. Maybe even Cambodia! Have a great year Avry. He will let us know his progress and how to access his journal or blog.
Most members brought their laptops or notebooks so we spend the rest of the meeting touring the website and especially demonstrating where to go for a make-up e-meeting so that everyone gets 100% attendance pins next year! Not everyone was able to sign on to the restaurants network so there was some work-around. Fun!
Pres Cheryle announced our first evening meeting will be Sept 1 running from  6:00 to 7:00 followed by the board meeting. This is a trial of evening meetings on the first Thursday of each month and is intended to expand our membership to include Corporate Memberships and those that find it difficult to make noon meetings. At Makia's of course....dinner at same price as lunch.
Ron announced the highway cleanup is on Aug 26. We are to meet at the Visitor Information and he will have the tools for us to clean up our assigned roadsides in both directions. After the work there will be playtime at Pres Cheryle and Jim's place with a BBQ and perhaps a swim?
Ryan pulled the joker and for the second week in row the $100 was paid out!
