Rose passed around the membership list to have all of us correct for release soon.

Rotaract on Penn State's campus is soliciting help to increase membership

We need 7 more helpers for the game against Coastal Carolina.

The district needs applicants for the Rotary GSE trip to the Philippines. At the same time the club and State College area Rotary clubs are planning for the exchange. The Philippine team will be here in October.

Carl said dues statements are coming out, but why wait? It's $115 per quarter and that includes your lunch each Thursday for 13 weeks!

Rose found a new 4-Way test banner and led us in reciting it.

The first football game is on August 30 against a school called Coastal Carolina from Paul's home state of South Carolina. If you would like to attend the game (or the Michigan game) and sit in the end zone down on the field, contact Paul prutter@gmail.com. I will need ten gate watchers for each game. To help at the Michigan or other Big Ten games, you will need to help at a yccky game.
