  • Previous Mystery member's experience: This Rotarian was fired after 4 hours of work for Allen Funt (from Candid Camera).click for answer
  • The District Newsletter is online at the district Web site.
  • Happy Happy Bucks are funds paid to the club to speak up and tell all why you are happy!Bucks from: •Dick Held offerd a couple of Happy Bucks for winning the huge pot. Meg Moose was happy about being back from maternity leave.(We are too)
  • The club stationery for the letter to participants is online in MS Word format

  • There is a zone institute meeting October 4-10 in Cambridge, Maryland
  • The coupon books contacts are due out and back. Get your letters out and follow up. Contact Pat Coble for more information.
  • Remember when bringing a guest to introduce them as such and not as a prospective member even if they are one. This could save embarrassment on the part of everyone in case someone is not approved.
  • a new proposed member P.B. was approved by the membership committee and the board for membership in the club. There is now a ten day period.
  • Jim Eberly reported about Rotary's Central Parklet Project sponsored by the two SC clubs. The new "Children's Play Space" will be lot of fun for kids. The total costs of the project are $50,000. 50% needs to be raised by the two SC clubs as part of Rotary's 100th anniversary in 2005. Bricks are on sale ($100 for first kid name, $50 for each subsequent). The bricks will be used for the walkway. A pamphlet was distributed.
  • International Conference 2005 is in Chicago, June 18-22, 2005. It is probably a good idea to make reservations for attending this now.
  • Jim Eberly mentioned the Centennial project. We are selling bricks for $100 to raise money for the park. The subsequent bricks are $50. Funds donated are through the clubs 501(c)3 so that means tax deductible.At summer concerts in the parklet we will be doing water sales to raise money too. The remaining date is August 10. Mark your calendar!
  • The club has a list serv. All active members are on it. The email address for it is SCDTROTARY-@LISTS.PSU.EDU. Email Paul Rutter to see about your admission. It is a private listserv not open to the public. If you are already on it and want help with it please call or email me.
  • mystery answer: Don Bedell was fired by Funt back in the early 90's when Don wasa doign videography work in Southern California. The odd part is Don has seen the footage he put to gether used on air. Don said he thought durign the four hours that he might be the object of a candid moment, since he had gone to lunch with the CC crew and everyone was complaining about Allen Funt.
Previous Week's Speaker: Sandi and Steve Biddle

This week's speakers were multi-talented husband and wife, Sandi and Steve Biddle. Most of us are familair with Steve as a former speaker regarding Tranquility Park to our club and as the current voice on WPSU and former voice on the BUS.

Currently Sandi and Steve also do a bit of marketing. Their organization goes by the name Flying Pig Creative Services. Steve and Sando have a wealth of experience in radio, marketing, journalism, and psychology. Sandi and Steve went over the many possibilities for different types of organizations for the different avenues or vehicles for marketing a product or service.
