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

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.
There are two new Web pages up. One is for Rotary
Foundation Program alumni.The hope or goal behind
this page is to keep members aware of persons in our community that might
benefit further from Rotary by membership or participation in other things
we are doing. The second page is on the District Web site. It honors the
Veterans in our Rotary community. Both pages are still in an initial
building stage so if you know of anyone that has been left out, please
let me know so I can include them.

Week's Speaker: Dan
Leri, Director of the Research Commercialization Office at Penn
State |
Dan Leri spoke to us today about the things that his office in the
research commercialization area of Penn State is involved with. The
office is focussed on new technologies.
Their objectives are to license technology to companies with interest,
ability and resources for commercialization for the public benefit.
A secondary function is to cature a fair portion of value for the beneift
of inventors and Penn State.
In 2003 there were $545 million in research at PSU. IPO's have recieved
153 invention disclosures. They filed 64 "full" US patent
applications and 73 "provisional" patent applications. 58
US patents have been issued. In the past 15 years there have been 2422
disclosures with a total revenue of $17,362,481.
Dan spends his time assisting faculty with new company start-ups. He
interfaces with early stage capital. He said his biggest problem is
identifying potential management talent.
Mark Whitfield thanked Dan for speaking to us.
