The Tunisian GSE team arrived May 6 and departed May 12. There was a welcome dinner at the Nittany Lion Inn during the evening club's meeting. On Wednesday Herwigs was our host for lunch, and dinenr was a cookout at Paul's camp. The team was in attendance at our membership drive meeting on May 8. Wednesday and Thursday were vocational days and Friday was dedicated to a tour of Penn State and district conference activities. Saturday night found the club at Indigo (formerly Players) with Rebecca Friedman, Paul, and his wife Anne to show the team what a college dance club is all about. The team was a real pleasure to host and escort around. It's a shame more Rotarians don't get involved in such a wonderful experience.

Doug announced results of the nominating committee. Laurel, Lester, and Cathy will be new board members while Bob Williams will be the second vice president.

Mark M mentioned RYLA scholarships being available. RYLA will be held at Juniata College this summer for rising seniors in high school.

At the Purdue game, we had a turnout of 11, including four Rotarians (Mark Whitfield, his son Nate and Nate's girlfriend; also Paul Rutter; Tineke Cunning from the breakfast club and her husband and Rotarian Jack from the Tyrone Rotary) for the football game as a fundraiser. Rotarians helping over the season included George Trudeau, Paul Rutter, Mark Whitfield, Bob Williams, Hugh Mose, Tammy Miller and Tineke Cunning from Sunrise Rotary, and Bill Bell and Jack Cunning from Tyrone.) Thanks for all your help! We raised over a eleven hundred dollars and had fun!

"Of the things we think, say or do:

Is it the TRUTH?
