• The District Conference this year is on May 1-4 in Hagerstown, Maryland.The rates for the hotel, events, and meals etc.are available at this link for downloading. I'd suggest checking out the Hagerstown club's Web site too in case they throw anything up on the Web in addition. I try to keep the District Web site up to date to with information as I receive it. Like Jim and Carol's version last year, Hagerstown is offering the chance to purchase individual event tickets.
• Please try to think of innovative ways we can raise funds for polio plus this year. One club mentioned in the RI magazine sold bumper stickers with a slogan mentioning, thanks Rotary for erasing Polio. Let Linda know what you are thinking!
• The district Training committee meeting scheduled for Feb 26 has changed venues, check the district Web site calendar for details
• We grossed $6505 for the raffle tickets. We still have to pay for the cruise, & TV before knowing the net. We do know that the gross was much lower than hoped.
• Mark, who won the big raffle, is taking the cruise vs the cash option. He and wife are leaving on February 14. Happy Sailing.
• Marlene Davis, a banker with PNC, was approved by the board and club for membership.
• The club has a list serv. All active members are on it. The email address for it is SCDTROTARY-@LISTS.PSU.EDU. It only works if you are a subscriber so if you aren't on it and want to know even more about the club email Paul Rutter to see about your admission. It is a private listserv not open to the public. If you are already on it and want help with it please call or email me.

• About a month ago we lost the Club Web site when our Internet provider of server space went out of business. Through the kindness of a local Internet Service Provider (Centre of the Web) and my own business (Paul Rutter Web Design) the club Web site is back on the Internet. The new address is http://www.centreweb.com/rotary/club/ or http://www.sc-rotary.org. There are a few bugs to work out with files that are missing as a result of our old ISP going out of business without notice. I hope to have them back in place soon. Many thanks to Vicon for the three years of service we did get from them at no charge.
