Hooray for scholarships:
In the event you need reassurance about our club's participation
in the operation of the Northshore Scholarship Foundation, read
what Inglemoor graduate Vickie L. Satele wrote in
thanks for receiving a four-year, renewable $2,000 college tuition
grant -- "I am honored to be part of a community that puts such a large emphasis on education. Hoorary for the Northshore Scholarship Foundation! I, too, will stay involved through community service and study medicine at the UW in hopes of making a positive impact in the Public Health sector." |

Marble Man Max Missing: With
all-too-frequent marble chaser Max Zellweger
holding forth at the Rotary International Convention May 24 in New
Orleans, other club members had an outside chance of reaching into
the marble box for the white marble. Tim House

Erv's Presidential Recap
Frequently Posted by Our Leader
Great meeting today
(May 24).
We had two guests who are very interested in becoming Woodinville
Rotarians. Thanks to David Landau for introducing Jeff Lair
to our club and thanks to Alex Hopkins for inviting his neighbor
Don who has been several times in the past to our meetings.
Alex will be talking/communicating with Roger Stark to get
membership info to Don, and David Landau has the membership stuff
for Jeff Lair, Jeff told me.
Terry Pickering, Assistant Governor, dropped
by to present our Presidential Citation with Distinction.
The translation here is that we all pulled together throughout
this year to do many many worthwhile things in all of our areas of
service, community service, vocational service, international
service, and our internal club friendship/fellowship/family of
Rotary. There were only a few clubs in the District
who got this citation with distinction so we should all be very
proud of what we have all done, together, this Rotary year. Big concert this
Thursday. There are about 12 of you that are planning on
going to the Woodinville High School Music Department extravaganza
this Thursday. An evening at the Pops. 7 p.m. at
Northshore Baptist Church, 10301 NE 145th
Street in Bothell. You can get tickets at the door at 6:30
that evening. Price is $10. Joe Truglio—what can I say. Great
presentation on the Woodinville Fishing Club. I forgot what Joe
called the club. He has some other term but I cannot recall it.
Here he is, y wonderful Vice President and nearly a world record
holder for catching a barracuda. Had he been using a lighter
pound test line when he landed his 48 pound barracuda? So
close. Thanks, Joe, for a great presentation on Fishing Rotarians.
There are many groups of Rotarians who have a common interest.
You have heard about the Yachting Rotarians. We had a
speaker a couple of months ago who talked about these
fellowshipping kinds of groups. There are many of them. John Hughes, Steve Dolan, Max (Marble Man)
Zellweger and Greg Riggs are all attending the International
Rotary Convention in New Orleans. They can tell you first
hand about how many fellowship groups there are in Rotary. Most of
these fellowship groups have booths in the House of Friendship at
each International Rotary Convention. I belong to the fellowship
of Fishing Rotarians and the Wine Lovers Rotary Fellowship group. Remember---no meeting next Tuesday
(May 31). The
Board decided that since attendance at Rotary meetings after a
long holiday weekend is traditionally pretty low, we would just
cancel our Tuesday meeting for May 31 instead of doing a Fifth
Tuesday type of thing. We have the big crab feed
coming up in August. That is going to be a major
fellowshipping event.
Thanks to everyone for a great Rotary year now
in its eleventh month. |
