Rotary Meeting Sept 8, 2011

Nine members, one guest and YE Alessandra braved the heat to attend. The scheduled speaker for the meeting was unable to make it so Pres Cheryle led a club assembly with the committee chairs reporting out to the club on activities. So this will be a true newsletter, giving a brief summary of those reports.  

There are currently four projects being considered for the major club project. The community swimming pool, a Rotary bandshell for Gyro Park, a water park for the same area and water slides. All need much more data and studying before Judy and her committee can bring them to the club but she is hopeful that will be soon. 

The 2011/12 budget was presented and voted on, msc. Vaughn has copies if anyone needs one.  

The Christmas Party will be on December 15th at the Walnut Beach Resort so mark your calendars.  

The fundraising events are again primarily the golf and Coyote beer gardens. The Coyote games start this weekend and Shelly will be sending out a schedule for volunteers. Club signage is progressing ....just have to reign those Elks in!

Membership is looking good with July at 82% and August at 86%! 

An active time for Youth Exchange with Alessandra now in her second week and and we begin to seek out next year's outbound student. Alessandra heads to Kelowna this weekend for her Orientation with the other 34 students in District 5060.

Guest Bill Lawrence drew the lucky ticket but no joker ....he donated the $5 won to Ale!
