  • Previous Mystery member's experience: none this week.click for answer

  • The club stationery is online in MS Word format
  • Carl Hill returned from Europe without spending Dick Held's winnings. Carl gave Dick a check for $917.50 representing half of the former 50/50 pot.
  • Please do your make-ups. One can use the E-club if needed.We need to get our attendance numbers higher.
  • Evan Smith was inducted into the club by Chris Potalivo who sponsored his applciation and President Roger Fetter. We learned that Evan and Chris own an airplane together.
  • There is a zone institute meeting October 4-10 in Cambridge, Maryland
  • Remember when bringing a guest to introduce them as a guest and not as a prospective member even if they are one. This could save embarassment on the part of everyone in case someone is not approved.
  • 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. Please be selling bricks!
  • 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.
  • 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: none this week.
Previous Week's Speaker: Architect Rick Ricardo

The speaker was Joe Giese's brother in law, Rick Ricardo, and architect with Penn State. The topic of Ricks discussion was Green Building and the new SALA building on campus, SALA is the School or Architecture and Landscape Architecture. The building is located in between Hort Woods, the forum, the Palmer Museum and North Halls near the water tower. There are some tennis courts that are not used located there now.

The buildign isa green buildign for its sustainable nature. The plans received the Gold Certification from LEED, the US Green Building Council. This building is indicative of what the University hopes to accomplish with all its buildings. The premium or additional cost to achive this status is about 7% additional cost, or an additional two million dollars outlay. There may be a return in some fashion by energy savings.The building is expected to last 50 years.
