Congratulations to the new Paul Harris Fellows and continuing PHF. New this year was Sue Eberly being named by husband, Rotarian, and PHF Jim Eberly, also Anne Hoag who was named by her husband, Rotarian, and PHF Paul Rutter, also continuing multi-status PHF to Carl Hill, Dick Held, Ed Zeiders, Rainer Domalski, Frank Gatto and others to be named. Several sustaning PHFs were recognized too and can be found on the club's PHF Web page.

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.

Point your web browser to: http://www.rotilink.org/eClubs/ click on a club's Website and follow the directions to do make-ups with the e-club. At the end, you print out your make up slip and submit it to current secretary Rainer Domalski.

WQe're planning for workign the football gates again this season. Please contatc Paul if you want to help out or even if you want to know what is involved. Last year 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 last 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!

Previous Week's Speaker: District Governor Ron Keyser

Ron was introduced by ADG Mary Johnston. Ron was saying that our club doies so many things well, that we are one of the clubs that the DG's never need to worry about.

The new tag line for the new Rotary Year is "Make Dreams Real." The International President is from South Korea. We want to go from doing good to saving lives of children who die from preventable causes. Ten million lives are lost each year.

Ron talked about things we can do and aksed of us:
What is the Rotary Dream?

Think of a new project to make dreams real.

Ask ourselves, what is the real power of Rotary? Rotary must grow membership. Contributions to the Foundation for programs come back to the district through simplified grants.
