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.

Abel Advice
Your editor has brow beaten our our very competent Club President into providing an occasional article to Lake Views, about whatever he thinks about as far as Rotary is concerned. He may talk about his passion for Rotary, what is going on in the club, or what he would like to see happening in the club. You will have to read it to find out what his advice might be!
On July 29th, Rotary Foundation Committee members Don Lloyd, Rich Watson and Lee Parker led a small group discussion on how we as a club participate in giving. The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. You can give in multiple ways, the majority of us give when we pay into the Every Rotarian Every Year going to the annual fund which can earn members Paul Harris designation when giving reaches $1,000. You can also give to the endowment fund, polio plus, promoting peace or a specific project. If interested in learning more about the Rotary Foundation go to the website at
https://www.rotary.org/myrotary/en/take-action/give or visit with Don, Rich, or Lee. I want to thank the committee for their hard work and dedication to making our world a better place.
Kevin Abel,
Lake Chelan Rotary President 2016-2017

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
