Why not take the opportunity to join Hugh and become a sustaining
member?
We need volunteers to work the gates for
the Illinois-PSU game on November 2.
Ron Taverno will be posting an announcement
via the List Serv to tell about Football gate working.
The next game is against Illinois on
November 2. There are 2 more opportunities to serve after the Illinois
game that will need workers. Call Ron
Taverno to sign up. It counts as a make-up and the club
earns cash!
Rotary Youth Exchange deadline applications
need to be in to Carl Hill by October 25. On October 27 the
committee will be interviewing applicants at
the Mt. Nittany Middle School. Contact
Carl for more information.
Hugh Mose congratulated those members who
have been successful in selling their raffle tickets and announced
that all club members have received their allotted 19 to sell. Hugh
noted that Dick Held has arranged for a table to sell at Wal-Mart
North Atherton on 5 October 2002 and there is still one slot open
for the morning (9:00 AM to Noon) session and a couple for the afternoon
session, Noon to 3:00 PM).
Only one member has signed up to sell at that location so we still
have two open slots for the morning and three for the afternoon.
Contact Hugh to qualify for either of these sales opportunities.
Dr. D is the chair of the Group Study Exchange.
A press release should appear soon in the CDT. The study teams consist
of four (4) members plus a group leader. There has been a change made
on this program in that instead of sending and receiving a
team every year we will alternate each year
between sending a team. We will host
a team from South Korea 19 April 2003 to 18 May 2003. In 2004, we
will send a team to South Korea.

address for it is SCDTROTARY-L@LISTS.PSU.EDU. It only works if you are a subscriber so if
you aren't on it and want to know even more about the club email Paul Rutter to see about your admission.
It is a private listserv not open to the public. If you are already

The fund raising committee passed out tickets
for use to sell for the cruise raffle. The cruise doesn't have a date
it has be taken within. The value of the cruise is $3500. Winners
can arrange a round that. It should be good enough though, for airfare
from Harrisburg to a carribbean cruise port, and a cruise of 7 days.
The second prize is a 27" color TV; 3rd prize is a cash award
of $250.
State College Magazine had an article about
Eugene Lederer in the October issue.
On November 12, there will be a Paul Harris
Presentation at the evening club by PDG Bus Fowler and Don Tressler.
All Paul Harris Fellows are asked to attend.
Nominations for District Governor Nominee
are being accepted. The year of service as Governor would be 2005-2006.
Contact Carol if interested.
Our speakers this week were the two
returning exchange students, Teresa Taverno and Jeremy Park.
Teresa went to Venezuela for the year just in time to experience a
civil war. But she survived and tells us that she had an awesome experience
that she'll always remember. There were more high points than low
points. She was able to travel to Margarita Island for two weeks,
an island off the coast of Venezeula in the Caribbean. SHe also had
a two week trip to the area around Angel Falls. Teresa attended a
private Catholic school. She played on the Volleyball team and was
an English teacher to younger students. She learned to speak Spanish
fluent and has made many friends there.
Jeremy went to Santiago, Chile. He was able to stay with the same
family for the entire year which he said was great! He played on the
soccer team and made many friends in a school of near 500 students.
He said he instantly became a popular guy because of his status as
an exchange student. He went to Patagonia for 8 days and visited Machu
Pichu on the Incan Trail in the Andes. He said this was the best year
of his life and that he made friendships that will be very important.
He also became fluent in Spanish. He learned business too on a trip
to Argentina where the economy is in shambles.
