After at least 7 years without an increase, the board approved an increase of dues from $100 to $115 per quarter. This amount covers meals each week and dues to district and RI.

Two prospective members have been approved by the board and membership committee, and will be inducted soon. One of them is a former charter member, Presidents Award winner 1991-1992, and Rotarian of the Year in 1992-1993.

Paul Rutter was named a Paul Harris Fellow for the second time by a Rotary club in Cashiers, North Carolina. His mom and step-father live in Cashiers where his step-father is a senior active member of the Cashiers Rotary club. Paul built a Web site for the club, his "retirement" Rotary club in about 30 years.

We are still in need of home families for youth exchange next year. Carl or Doug can give you more details.

Previous Week's Speaker: Tatjana Kavlitz from Germany and Rafal Olak from Poland

Our program today was a pair of presentations from inbound youth exchange studetns from Germany and Poland. Each told us about hteir country and family and what they had accomplished while in State College. Most important, or noted by me, was Tatajana will miss the spirit of State College High School. She said schools in Germany did not possess such a thing.

-Martin G Molony, District 1160 Governor, Dublin Central, Ireland
in The Rotarian, January 2006

"Of the things we think, say or do:

Is it the TRUTH?

Is it FAIR to all concerned?

Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"
