  • 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, Linda Friedman, 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!

  • Bob Williams was inducted into the club. Paul Rutter was his sponsor. Bob was on the GSE team to South Korea earlier this year.
  • Be getting in shape to help with the manual labor part of the childrens village of the parklet. Sign up to help now! May 21st at 9:00 a.m.
  • 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.

  • 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!
  • The club has a list serv. All active members are on it. The email address for it is SCDTROTARY-@LISTS.PSU.EDU. 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.
  • 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.
