In honor of the Rotary Foundation month, which is November, and to promote
Paul Harris Fellowship participation, our club's Foundation Committee
members are gathering a number of attractive items, which are added to
a huge gift basket. The committee sponsored a raffle of this gift basket
and the proceeds of the raffle will be donated to the Rotary International
Foundation in our name. Linda Friedman was the big winner!

 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. These were
students that had been involved with Rotary as Interacters in high school.
Todd passed out coins from the PA National Guard to all Rotarians that
helped with the event.

Week's Speaker: Junior
Achievement's Dennis Guilfoyle |
Dennis Guilfoyle, a JA person from Pittsburgh let us know about the beginnings
of a Centre County JA chapter. Their meeting s will be held at the CBICC.
Since 1919, Junior Achievement's purpose has been to educate and inspire
young people to value free enterprise and understand business and economics
to improve the quality of their lives.
Junior Achievement is the world's largest and fastest-growing non-profit
economic education organization. Our programs are taught by classroom
volunteers from the business community in western PA, across America and
in over 103 countries worldwide.
Junior Achievement is a volunteer driven, non-profit organization. This
year more than 2,700 business professionals, parents, retirees and college
students will enter schools in western PA to teach Junior Achievement
programs in grades k-12. These volunteers use their personal experiences
to make the Junior Achievement curricula practical and realistic. Providing
children with positive adult role models, who illustrate ways to build
self-confidence, develop skills and find avenues of success in our free
enterprise system, is a hallmark of Junior Achievement.
The State College chapter will be managed from the JA office in Johnstown.

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.”

the things we think, say or do:
Is
