News of Vast Import and Interest to Woodinville Rotarians

1st Wine Notes a popular, huge success -- Rotarians, guests and family volunteer	Woodinville Rotary provided 54 volunteers for the Woodinville Wine Country's first concertfest supported by Woodinville 24 wineries, a number of prominent Seattle-area eateries and an appreciative audience of serious wine connoisseurs. Club members volunteering (with spouses, family and friends included) were Tana Baumler, Chris Boland, Jon Bylin, Becky Clark, Erv DeSmet, Larry Duffield, Daryl Eckland, Jorge Gonzalez, Bill Gowin, Gordy Green, Eric Greenwood, John Hughes, Larry Leonardson, Al Marsh, Roger Martindill, Alan Nelson, Norm Noble, Greg Riggs, Charlie Russell, Bill Schink, Jay Soloff, Susan Webster, Gary Whitsell and Max Zellweger. Volunteer support from Rotary was critical to staging such an event. Members reported having a great time, soaking up some rays and enjoying the offerings of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Tower of Power, Mindy Abair and Paul White. Some were even known to participate at the wine tasting tent. The president was seen "shaking it" during a Tower of Power number.

The new bylaws were developed based on Rotary International recommendations that the officers and directors for the club and for the foundation not be identical as has been reported in the past.
