LAST WEEK IN REVIEW

Visiting Rotarians: none
Make-ups turned in: none
Guests: none
50/50:
Kelly Kerner was the lucky recipient of the chance to draw the ace of spades, but she didn't. She drew the six of diamonds. With how many people are buying extra tickets there must be at least $1450 in the pot. There are 15 cards left.You can buy three chances for $2 now too, to make your chances better!
Auction: Dennis Martella promised to mail a gift certificate to the Mt. Nittany Inn as the auction item. Hugh Mose is the trusting soul that won the auction at $36.

  • Carl Hill announced that a formal complaint has been filed regarding the fee for District Meetings.
  • The Rotary shirts are in and were distributed in part to members that were in attendance at this past meeting. Please pay Carl Hill if you haev not already. The denim shirts were $21.95 and the polo shirts were $14.95. The XXL sizes of each were $2 more.
  • Spaghetti Dinner Tickets were distributed. (12/member) Sell them and earn your stars! If you need more tickets, please see Jim Eberly.
  • The Special Olympics folks have sold over 100 tickets so far.
  • 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
  • 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.
Previous Week's Speaker: Carl Hill & a Rotary Quiz!

The scheduled speakers blew us off at the last second. There were representatives from the upcoming home show in the Bryce Jordan center. (Maybe we should blow them off?)

None the less, our fearless PDG Carl Hill entertained us with a special Rotary Quiz developed for our club. There were twenty questions. I think members Eberly and Holmes won prizes for certain answers.In a probably infair role I won the quiz with eighteen correct out of twenty. I say unfair becasue I type in this information each week for the District and our club and I see the answers more often than anyone else.
The questions I missed out on were the age of our club. I thought we started in 1989. It is typed up on the top of this page so I'm really dumb for missing that we started in 1986.The other one I missed was from not reading the question fully. I put down the International President was from Thailand which he is- but the question was for the IP for next year. He is from Nigeria.

This week’s note taker: Judy Myrick
