Happy  Bucks
.Paul was happy about Centre of the Web helping out with hosting when the server was taken off line. Bob was happy for renewing friendship with Ray Held, a childhood friend. Mark was happy not bto be carrying his arm in a sling. Doug was paying for Carl who was happy (I think), but unwilling to forego a buck to tell us about it. He did say soem,thing about an International Crisis. Laurel was happy about a daughter in a nativity play, and being top 10 in geography despite her youth, and for heading to Mexico for a holiday. Hugh was happy to tell us about his in-laws 67th anniversary. Mary was happy to be back after surviving back surgeries.
Penns Valley Elementary School sent us a thank you that was meant for some other group. We thought it might be for all the dictionaries. (Thats what they get for two-timing us!)
And speaking of dictionaries, Mark M, let us know that a total of 367 dictionaries were delivered to area 3rd graders.
Jim Eberly handed out the Dining and Entertainment Coupon Books to everyone.
Each of us is responsible for ten books. We are able to sell more than
ten books too. Paul Rutter created two
flyers for use. Each is available
through the links here. A  publisher
document of each is available too . Email Paul for copies that can be
altered as needed.
If you are not receiving club emails via the listserv, contact Paul
Rutter. The problem may be an incorrect email address on the club
listserv directory.
We didn't get attendance figures for the past month but in the event
it is low again, please help raise our attendance using virtual club make-ups
by going to one of the e-Clubs.
Mary Dearmitt is back in the club with a red badge.
The Big Apple Express is up and running again. This is the bus from
SC to NYC and back over a weekend.
Sam Jordan was proposed as a new member by the board of directors. He
will be coming from the Bellefonte club. Members have 10 days to comment
on his proposal to join our club.
Rotaract
on Penn State's campus is soliciting help to increase membership
The
club was able to sponsor someone for the GSE trip to Puerto Rico this
summer. The exchange is for Spanish language teachers.
Carl said dues statements are coming out, but why wait? It's $120 per
quarter and that includes your lunch each Thursday for 13 weeks!
Thanks to everyone who has helped work the gates before the PSU home football games. There are no more openings for helping this year. Thanks to Roger Dunlop, Kat Snowe (from our club) and husband Dave from the breakfast club, Bob Williams, Fabian Meinke (our RYEX student), Hugh Mose and wife Janyce, Nicole Webster from the breakfast club, Tineke Cuning and husband Jack from breakfast club, my wife Anne, Meg Moose for having one of her colleagues and many other helpers for helping us fill the slate for all games. You get free field seats and parking passes for helping. If you are interested in helping next year for the 2009 season let me know to reserve your spot. For more information on what we do and to be the list for next year ask Paul 863-3387 office.  Paul & Bob took Fabian, one of the club's exchange students, hunting
on opening day of deer season. Fabian is from Germany near Bonn. Fabian
said there is not much opportunity for hunting big game there, only rabbits
and other small critters. A thrill was shooting one of Bob's pre-Clintonesque
guns and Paul's 1932 (year) .22 rifle and checking out the heart attack
inducing, blood stopping chili cheese fries at the Sunset West before
heading into the woods. The deer in the photo was one of four from the
camp next to Paul's.

Polio Plus Challenge - The $1,000 Anonymous donation was sent in from
outside the club, not from a club member. Currently, 9 members have donated
matching funds up to $570. We need more donations from Club members to
hit the $1,000.
Leadership Institute seminars are also available; check the district
website for the schedule
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.

“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?"
