The Hugo Report for July, 2011 Previously Posted by Our Leader for Erv's Worthy Subjects This week we introduce Past President and Past Treasurer Gary Whitsell in our first "Guest Prez" appearance (last week's Snappy demo doesn't count).   Jeff Lair describes his passion Push International and the work of Jeff and his family in Mazatlan was a true inspiration and example of the type of projects Rotarians are known for around the world.   That's Erv on the left, remember? More Kudos for Erv Gavel presented to add to immediate past president's Rotary Wall of Rotary Honors alongside the Grace Provisionals Three-Way Test Banner and his handsomely framed Paul Harris Fellow certificate and medallion.    Housing for Wine Auction     Over the weekend, members received an appeal from WSU to house viticulture and enology students working at the annual Auction of Washington Wines event in Woodinville. The request was from Thursday, August 18 through Sunday, August 21. If interested or for information, please contact   lindsay.n.hicks@gmail.com. Lindsay is an intern working the auction as well and can be reached at (360) 420-6353. Rotary Community Park stewardship     Many thanks to Susan Webster, Tim House, Tom Quigley and Rotarians who have taken on the first steps of de-mildewing the boardwalk through the park. Susan will be scheduling more evening power washing sessions on Monday and Thursday evenings and will be in need of the able-bodied among us to complete that important safety measure in the north sector of the natural habitat.    Meeting Duties Consolidated      The Club Services committee has consolidated some of the duties members are asked to handle for the morning meetings at the Grange. Please note that the flag salute and invocation are now a single assignment and the member handling the front desk is asked to provide the weekly raffle prize. The Guest Prez has been added. Our exchange student from France is due later this summer and members will be asked to include her in their plans beginning the week of Labor Day.   Got a beer stein to loan for Oktoberfest?      Auction decor guru Karen Funis has inquired: "We're asking the Rotarians if they have any ornate beer steins we could borrow for the decor?  We'd love to use the borrowed wine barrels again, 4 of them would be awesome." To help out, please contact Karen at   chattykk@aol.com    Board to set year's calendar for members' planning     This coming year, the club will continue to hold a number of meetings apart from the Grange sessions. As a result, the Board will be asked to approve a calendar to be presented to each club member to help in making plans for Rotary participation. As an example, the club will not hold Tuesday meetings the day following a major Monday holiday: Labor Day, President's Day, Memorial Day. Look for your calendar after the July 19 board meeting.   Register Yourself and Guests for Oktoberfest Our audience development team encourages you to follow these easy-to-do steps http://wrc.maestroweb.com When you open this webpage, note the "RSVP instructions", then look at the top for "RSVP" and click on this link.
