Happy  Bucks
from: • Roger Fetter in recognition that April 15th is history.•
Teresa Davis for her son who pitched his first game in baseball and had
a great parent teacher conference. • Pam ferguson for having a good
Lederer Park clean-up session.
Thanks to Todd Bacastow for alerting me to this WSJ
editorial on Rotary and Polio eradication. It is from April 14, 2005.
Our thoughts go out to Ben Amato and his family.
The spaghetti dinner earned about $1500 for the auction portion.
There is a good article by Harry Zimbler in this month's State College
Magazine. It is titled, "When the War Comes Home: A Personal View
of the War in Iraq."
 Paul
Rutter let us know the GSE visit is all planned. The Italian Rotary
District's GSE team will be in State College the nights of May 6-9,
and 15th. Thanks to Adrian Pratt, Carl Hill, Bob Williams, Hugh Mose,
Dr. D, Dick Held, Russ Brooks and Paul Rutter for offering to host or
being a host back up for the visitors. This is a great opportunity
to participate in a huge part of Rotary and get to share your State College
with your guest. Ask Paul Rutter for more information about the various
events. It is going to be so great!
Rotary vanity license plates are available. There's a link on the District
Web site to get them.
Be getting in shape to help with the manual
labor part of the childrens village of the parklet
It is a new tax year; perhaps buying bricks for tax year 2005 is in
your strategy?That's one more incentive to see bricks! We
need to sell bricks. Sign your Brick
Pledge today! We can meet our goal if everyone
buys one and sells one.
The District Newsletter for April
is available at the District
Web site by clicking on the link to the current
newsletter. http://www.district7350.org
The District Conference will take place from May
13-15. Registration forms are available from Carol or on the District
website.
RYLA. The RYLA event will be held at Juniata
College this ummer. Nominations for attendees are being taken now. LeAnne
Martin is the contact person in our club. Students that are juniors
in highschool now are eligible.
Jim Eberly reported about Rotary's Central
Parklet Project sponsored by the two SC clubs. The new "Children's
Play Space" will be lot of fun for kids. The total costs of the project
are $50,000. 50% needs to be raised by the two SC clubs as part of Rotary's
100th anniversary in 2005. Bricks are on
sale ($100 for first kid name, $50 for each subsequent). The bricks
will be used for the walkway. A pamphlet
was distributed. Please be selling bricks!

It is a private listserv not open to the
public. If you are already on it and want help with it please call or

There are two new Web pages up. One is for Rotary
Foundation Program alumni.The hope or goal behind
this page is to keep members aware of persons in our community that might
benefit further from Rotary by membership or participation in other things
we are doing. The second page is on the District Web site. It honors the
Veterans in our Rotary community. Both pages are still in an initial
building stage so if you know of anyone that has been left out, please
let me know so I can include them.
mystery answer: none
this week.
| Previous
Week's Speaker: Todd Parnell the GM of the Altoona Curve spoke |
Todd started off with a down home talk about himself
and how he became involved in sports and sports management.Todd is from
Locust, NC (not far from my old home in Clover, SC-ed.). When
Todd was 13 his family moved to Philadelphia.
Todd is very personable and gave a talk about how the
Curve are our hometown team. Todd mentioned that the for him baseball
is addictive. His goal is to try to make Altoona Curve baseball a tradition.
They are off toa good start.
In 2004, the Curve, now managed by Tony Beasley, finished with a league-best
85-56 record and not only returned to the playoffs as they did in 2003,
but took the next step and advanced to the Eastern League Championship
Series for the first time in club history before losing to the New Hampshire
Fisher Cats. 2004 also turned out to be a banner year at the gates as
the Curve added a fifth consecutive franchise attendance record after
drawing 394,062 fans to Blair County Ballpark. Among those 394,000+
fans who attended Curve home games in 2004 included Vice President Dick
Cheney, who attended the club's Fourth of July game against Harrisburg.
Following the season, Curve General Manager Todd Parnell was honored
as the Eastern League Executive of the Year, while the franchise was
presented the prestigious Larry MacPhail Trophy symbolizing the top
promotional effort, both on and off the field, in all of minor league
baseball.
The Curve ownership is starting a short season (38 games)NY-Penn rookie
league team in State College in a new ball park that it will share with
the Nittany Lions. This will be a win-win move enabling the Lions to
attract more top notch players. The stadium is to the East of Beaver
Stadium a little bit down the hill toward Mt. Nittany. I can already
sense cold beers, hotdogs, baseball, and Mt. Nittany in the background.
The closest competitor team is in Williamsport.
