  • The Rotaract club is now an official Penn State club. Thanks to Geoff and Todd for their work in that regard.
  • Please contact Dr. D for helping out during the GSE team whne they are here. There will be a pizza night and a visit to Stone Valley.
  • Our attendance was 76% for March. We're still in the black according to our treasurer.
  • The March Madness fund raiser has ended and Marshall was the winner in both categories and the club was a winner with a portion of the proceeds.
  • Discussions are still underway regarding the club's centennial project. Right now we are trying to do something in the parklet near Memorial Field with the evening club.
  • Spring Clean-up at Lederer Park and lunch at Outback is May 3rd. We will meet at the park at 8:30 and hen after wards Outback is providing lunch at Outback near the Lowes store on the way to Toftrees.
  • There will be a memorial for Eugene Lederer at 2:00 on May 4th in Lederer Park. We are serving icecream (Gene's favorite) at the service. Please sign up to help. There will also be a bus to take people to the park since the park has limited parking.
  • 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 club has
