Happy  Bucks
from: • Paul Rutter who saw the GSE team off to Italy. • George
Trudeau for having found a house to buy in State College finally.
The 50/50 pot which had 20 cards in it was won by Geoff Wilson this
past week. The pot was about $1600 rich which Geoff will get half. I overheard
Geoff telling Carl to make out the check to the Foundation!
Carl Hill was elected to the new Council on Legislative Affairs for
Rotary from our district.
Carl is looking for a host family for a youth exchange girl from Germany
for the first semester from August to Thanksgiving. Please contact him
very soon if you can help.
Paul Rutter was presented with a Rotary Foundation award for service
to the district.
 The
GSE visit to our district is over now. Everything seemed okay. The team
enjoyed a vocational day, a touristy day in Centre County, and had a weekend
trip to Niagara Falls escorted by Rotarians Paul Rutter and Bob Williams
fro the GSE to Korea last year. Paul & his wife Anne honored the team
with a farewell dinner with District notables and host families. The Italian
Rotary
District's GSE team returned to Italy on May 16. 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. Ask Paul Rutter for more information about
the various events. It has been a hoot so far!
Have you seen the new Pennsylvania license tags for Rotary? Rotary vanity
license plates are available. There's a link on the District
Web site to get them.
Next year's club president, Teresa Davis, is forming committees. If
you are thinking about one in particular to serve on, please contact her.
Bob Williams is the most recent inductee to the club. Paul Rutter was
his sponsor. Bob was on the GSE team to South Korea earlier this year.
He works over at Nittany Office Equipment with Tom Kerr.
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 May
is available at the District
Web site by clicking on the link to the current
newsletter. http://www.district7350.org
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

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.

Week's Speaker: Larry Boggess from the State College Friends School |
This week, we were visited by the Larry Boggess, the head of the State
College Friends School, a private independent school in State College.
Larry mentioned that is father was is a 35 year perfect attendance
Rotarian. With that Larry couldn't fail in speaking to us. His father
once flew from Kuwait to Cairo to keep his attendance perfect.
Larry told us that Friends education theory (300 years old in America)
is so old it is cutting edge now. Friends believe in academic achievement
through an academic community that stresses community, integrity, understanding,
open mindedness and articulation.
The school has a flat hierarchy and recently decided upon school colors
and a mascot after a 5 month decision process to engage everyone's input.
The colors and reason tell a lot about the school. Blue for peace, silver
for integrity. The mascot is a wolf. The school is not only about success
in highschool and college but about teaching and preparing students
for success in life.
"State College Friends School is a Quaker Kindergarten through
8th grade school nurturing intellectual growth with a stimulating academic
curriculum in a spiritually enriching environment. Since 1980, we have
been guided by the principles of equality, community, simplicity, and
harmony. Our uniqueness comes from celebrating diversity and welcoming
families of all faiths and perspectives." from
their Web site.
Mary Dearmitt thanked Larry for speaking to the club and presented
him with a club coffee mug especially created for us by Heidi Zimbler..
