Issue No. 8 for 8-23-2016





Have you paid your Rotary dues?

It was reported at the Board last week that only a bit over 50% have paid our annual dues so far. This makes it really difficult for the Treasurer when paying the District and National dues for the club.  Please send in your checks.  Thanks.

In This Issue


Please enjoy the award winning Lake Views newsletter of Lake Chelan Rotary. The year  2016 is Lake Chelan Rotary's 90th Birthday having been Chartered in on March 24, 1926.

                           Glenn Kerns                                                   Servando Robledo

Back by Popular Demand!

We always enjoy Classification Talks by our members and this week we will learn all about Glenn Kerns and Servando Robledo.  These are two fascinating Rotarians that you will want to learn more about.  Plan to be at Sorrento's this next Tuesday.


Pingrey Park Spruce-up

Pingrey Park is the one above the Forest Service Office at 200 S. Third Street.  It needs sprucing up.  We will have a work party to do just that on August 20 starting at 7:30 a.m. and going to noon if needed.  Probably will take just a couple of hours if well attended.  Bring gloves, long sleeve shirts, long pants, rakes, loppers, etc.  Dave Oglevie will be the big boss and he can be reached at 860-4800.

What a fascinating program this week!

It was a lot of fun to see Lake Chelan Rotarians Les Cooper and Tiffany Gering in their Maasai garb and telling us all about the trip to Kenya.  Quite a life changing experience for both of them.  Hope you were there to enjoy their trip vicariously!




         
Youth Exchange
Welcome Silvia

Our new Rotary Exchange Student,  Silvia Hsia from Taiwan is now getting acquainted with Chelan and of course Lake Chelan Rotary. The best way to  know more about her is to read her application letter to her first  host family, Jordana and Jeff LaPorte.






The Hsia family
August is Rotary Membership & Extension Month

Think About it!
I am the person I am today because of Rotary. To be a member of the Rotary family is to be a part of something much bigger than yourself. It means that you are a member of a diverse, worldwide team whose members together have provided extraordinary service to humanity.

As we celebrate Membership Month this August, I hope you reflect not only on your road to Rotary, but also how to help set others down that road. As club and district leaders, you set the example for your fellow Rotarians as active, engaged members of our organization. You not only play an important role in inspiring current members, but also in attracting new ones. There is a potential Rotarian in anyone who cares about their community and strives to make the world a better place. Finding a new member can be as simple as inviting someone you know to your next meeting or engaging alumni. - John Germ, RI President, 2016-17

Membership
If you can help set up be at Riverwalk Park at 3 p.m. on Friday the 19th.
