• To date (3/10) Jim has received money/stubs from only 18 club members - that leaves 35 Rotarians to report. While we will continue to sell tickets right up to the dinner, it is very important that we gather info about how many will be at the dinner. Therefore, we need folks to turn in stubs and money that they have this Thursday at the meeting - they can keep the unsold tickets and continue to sell them.
• Look at Rotarian Magazine online for Polio Plus ideas
• The District Assembly is March 29th in Altoona at the Casino

• 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.
• 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.
