  • Happy Happy Bucks are funds paid to the club to speak up and tell all why you are happy!Bucks from: • Paul Rutter who is traveling to his home in North Carolina and taking a banner to present at his retirement club in Cashiers, NC. • Rogger Fetter for having a great week fishing in the Outerbanks.• Paul Bell for getting Whitewater underway. • Geoff Wilson who is headed to England his home, • and Marshall who finished vacationing in New Mexico.
  • The 50/50 pot which had 20 cards in it was won by Geoff Wilson last 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!
  • 9 of us had Rotary anniversaries this week. (Brytcauk, Coble, Fowler, Goldstein, Hickey, Held, Holmes, Rutter & ________)
  • 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.
  • 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. 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.
  • 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
  • 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.
