  • Todd passed out coins from the PA National Guard to all Rotarians that helped with theevent.
  • Teresa shared information about our meals at Damon's. Each week we have an option of a house salad or the entre prepared for us that day. At no time is anyone to request to have chicken or steak added to the salad. All that we are contracted for is the garden salad. Additionally when you request special salads; the orders for everyone else get backlogged because the server is also the one that has to prepare the salad. There is additional cost that is borne by the club when you place requests for extras too.
  • The committee assignments were placed on the tables; it was also proposed to have a "Minute Man" list for potential speakers available on a short notice if a scheduled speaker is prevented from coming.
  • Teresa shared news from the Penn State Rotaract club for the new academic year. Over 50 persons showed up to an informational session. Thes were students that had been involved with Rotary as Interacters in high school.

The guard served adn serves in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Katrina stricken areas, the Mexican boder, and the northeast of PA that was hit by floods this past summer. Many troops lost their lives. Rotarians were assisting these "Gold Star" families of he soldiers who had given the ultimate sacrifice for our country.The Rotary Foundation Dinner is scheduled for November 4, 2006 in Hagerstown, Maryland. Do not forget to register.

    “If we only listen to those whom we already see eye to eye, we will never create better understanding, a concept that is at the core of Rotary.”
    -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?"
