Club Assembly
President Ron Clark led the club in its first Club Assembly in a while. Ron told us of the work of Rotary Foundation, how it works, and what programs are emphasized. For instance, the money given through the Paul Harris program is not spent for three years. The interest in that time pays for the administrative costs so that the principal is directly applied to programs. Emphasis is in three areas:
Dorothy Simmons gave an update in membership and attendance. She pointed out that a member can make up fourteen days before or after a missed meeting. Make ups are counted for visits to other clubs, board meetings, Rotaract Clubs, Interact Clubs, District or International Conventions. With the number of clubs within 25 miles, we should all have perfect attendance.
Ralph Moore spoke on the six-member program committee. Each committee member takes one month each half year.
Scott Bailey reported that the Fund Raising Committee has a goal of $4000 for the club year and we have raised over $3300 to date.
Ardin Wright told of the International Committee’s efforts at Casa Hogar and at Mulege, Mexico.
Chris Leffler updated us again on the efforts of the Community Service Committee which has a lot on its plate for the year.
QUIZ ANSWER

Saturday is Veterans Day, so fly your flag and show support for our veterans. At last count, there were only 53 surviving WW I veterans worldwide, 14 of whom are Americans. All are over 100 years old. WW II vets are dying at the rate of 1100 per day.
- Ambassadorial Scholars
- Group Study Exchanges
- Peace Scholars - This latter program is relatively new and provides for selected students to study abroad to receive a masters degree in world peace and conflict resolution. (They'd better hurry).
