Foundation dinner is April 16
GSE team from Puerto Rico will be here June 9-12
Attendance was 63% with 47 members.
Jim Eberly will be the assistant governor next year. We need a new fund

Jim has given Carl $7,565 for the Dining & Entertainment Books.
Paul Rutter is still ahead. He has turned in the money for 53
books. Keep selling them!
Work on auction items for the Spaghetti Dinner.
Still need team members for Denmark.
Thank you letters from 3rd graders were passed around. (Dictionary Project).
And speaking of dictionaries, Mark M, let us know that a total of 367
dictionaries were delivered to area 3rd graders.
Scott Lamb was inducted as a new member. Yahoo!
There is a GSE team to Denmark forming. If you know any non-Rotarians
under age 40 encourage them to apply. See Paul or Bob for more information.
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.
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.
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.
| Previous
Week's Speaker: Pennsylvania Honey Queen, Maya Althouse |
 The following is taken from the organization she represents Web site:
Hello! My name is Maya Althouse and I am pleased to be the 2009 Pennsylvania Honey Queen. I discovered my fervor for bees and beekeeping when I met local beekeeper Mike Byers at the farmer's market, and I continue to expand my knowledge about bees through him as well as bee-inspector Craig Cella. I live with my parents and younger sister in Rebersburg, PA in a highly Amish-populated community. I attend Penns Valley Area High School where my favorite subject is English and I am active in the band, chorus, spring musical and literary journal. I enjoy reading, writing, nature, music, and beekeeping of course. I love traveling and have lived in Belgium where I learned to speak French. I am excited to explore throughout Pennsylvania and spread the word about the importance of bees!

“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?"
