Congratulation new Paul Harris Fellows:   Installation night Tuesday will include presentation of their first Paul Harris Fellow citations and awards to George Phillips, Tana Baumler, Joe Truglio and Jon Bylin. Three other members will receive their multiple Paul Harris Fellow pins for their continued support of Rotary Foundation. It is the goal of the club to become and remain a club in which 100 per cent of the membership are annual contributors to the Rotary Foundation. The first Paul Harris is awarded when the Rotarian has contributed a total of $1,000 to the work of the international Rotary Foundation.

Projects you'll continue hearing about: The club leadership will repeatedly be asking members to join in exploration of helping organize an Interact club at Secondary Academy for Success next school year....to learn more about Josh the Otter, a water safety awareness program for pre-school and kindergarten age children and their parents.....and to help with a major cleanup work project on the trail system through Rotary Community Park.

ByLaws changes approved: Members voted overwhelming approval of adding the position of New Generations Director to the leadership of the club. President-elect John Hughes has asked Alex Hopkins to take the two-year appointment. The director's responsibilities will include Interact, Youth Exchange, RYLA and Rotaract programs, as well as working with Woodinville High School's DECA and FBLA clubs. A bylaws review committee has been charged with looking at both the club and Woodinville Rotary Charitable Foundation bylaws and been asked to bring potential amendments to make sure the club is compliant with current operations and with recommendations of Rotary International. The committee includes incoming vice president Eric Greenwood as chair and Alex Hopkins and president-nominee Greg Riggs as members. They will be assisted by Rotary veteran and club secretary Roger Martindill.

Oktoberfest 2011 News. The committee has set a July 26 goal for having all Rotary club members registered Online for the October 8 event. After that date, members will be asked to encourage their guests to also register online or to have the member handle that for them. Registration gurus Rorry Dunbar, Becky Clark and Jay Fiske will provide computers at the July 12 and July 19 meetings for members to use and complete the registration process themselves. The computers will have Internet access, so the registrations done those morning will tell the committee the member's food choices, email address, and give the member the option of paying online for tickets or accepting an invoice asking for a check payable to the Woodinville Rotary Charitable Foundation. We will be providing an electronic SAVE the DATE document for members to forward or send. The plan is for all registrations to be done electronically this year. Members will be responsible for seeing that their guests are registered.

Max the Marble man wins again: At right, David Landau introduced new member Jeff Lair and Alex Hopkins introduced new member Don Whitwam who promptly got to work seeking signatures for their rosters and began meeting the membership.
