  Our Program for Tuesday, September 13
 

Which of our many handsome gentlemen will be showing off their fall fashions this week? For a change of pace Lake Chelan Rotarian  Barb Koenig and the  Main Street Gallery will be showing us the best of Chelan for the fall season!


One of the great things about Rotary is the camaraderie you have both internationally and within your own district with fellow Rotarians.  In September we will have an opportunity to visit and get to know some Rotarians within District 5060.  On September 15th from 5:00 to 8:30 we will have Membership Matters training with the Okanogan-Omak Rotary Club and the Grand Coulee Dam Area Rotary Club at Howard's Restaurant in Pateros.  Let me know if you are interested in participating.  On September 20th Cashmere Club president Julie Ryan and fourteen members of the club will be at our meeting in Chelan.  It will be great to mix the tables up and get to know some of our friends from Cashmere. 

Kevin Abel - Lake Chelan Rotary President 2016-2017

Kyrgyzstan Cultural Exchange

Rufus Woods - Randy Smith - Thomas Warren

The World Nomad Games are being held September 3-8, 2016 on the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul Lake, in Kyrgyzstan.   The purpose of the  games, which are held every four years  is to promote the revival and preservation of the historical cultural heritage of the nomadic peoples of Central Asia.  

North Central WA and Rotary was well represented at the games.  Thomas Warren from Lake Chelan Rotary, Randy Smith form Cashmere Rotary are leading the North Central  Washington - Kyrgyzstan cultural exchange.  The games focus on the incredible horsemanship and hunting skills of the nomadic peoples.  To the best of our knowledge our fearless ambassadors are yet to compete although I have heard that Tom is competing in the falconry and Randy is favored in the horseback wrestling.    


COINS - COINS COINS

Exchange Student SilviaRTICLE HEADING
Silvia's 2nd day at Chelan High.  She is now officially a Goat.  Micaela is her official hostess.  Host Mom Jordana only goes as far as the front entrance - I guess independence is the message if you get to be hosted at the LaPorte's.

Michala is big into FFA and was showing a steer at the Waterville Fair.  Silva was quick to adjust to farm life and helped wash the steer, clean out the food troughs and feed the animals.  (Not quite the same as living in Taipei a city of 23.5 million people!)
