• The Club Web site went away temporarily. But through the kindness of a local Internet Service Provider (Centre of the Web) and my own business (Paul Rutter Web Design) the club Web site is back on the Internet. The new address is http://www.centreweb.com/rotary/club/index.html. There are a few bugs to work out with files that are missing as a result of our old ISP going out of business without notice. I hope to have them back in place or create new ones as soon as finals week and the semester end is over and time allows. Many thanks to Vicon for the threee years of service we did get from them at no charge.
• Nominations for club offices and board memberships are being accepted. Please contact anyone on the nominating committee if yo uare internested.
