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 J. was proposed as a new member by the board of directors. He will

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.

Week's Speaker: Junior Baroque Music Festival |
Carol Matta, director spoke to the club.
Unique to the east coast, started in 2006 a community endeavor. Professionals
teach studetns under 19yrs old baraque music-master level classes.She
gave a background of the history of baraque music. The jr. baroque music
festival draws from the east coast and mid-Atlantic states (students)
and the teachers are top teachers in baraque music in the U.S. It takes
place in March around Bach's birthday.
Fernanco, age 9 performed a Corelli and Bach piece on the guitar. Next
year will partner with Centre Performing Arts for their festival due to
all their foundation in grants drying up. They had to postpone this years
festival. They are a division of the Nittany Valley Symphony (Educational
Arm).

“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?"
