This week our speaker will be Pete Erickson who will present a program about The Rotary Foundation (TRF). Join us to learn how TRF supports the broad scope of what Rotary does for the world.
A Rotarian since 1980, and a member of the Moses Lake Rotary Club, Pete has served on many club and district committees and as District Governor in 1999/2000. Following his year as Governor he has served Rotary in many areas, including District Foundation Chair for the past 9 years, on the District Grant subcommittee for 10 years, and as Assistant Governor in 1997 -2001 and 2022 -2024.
We will also hear classification talks from Lake Chelan Rotary members Brandon Asher and Brad Wilson. Join us to learn a bit more about two of our newer Rotarians! We feature classification talks on the 4th Tuesday of each month. If you are interested in telling your story, please contact Kim Dunbar-Wall to be scheduled for a future meeting.

Dear Rotarians,
Story. It is the oldest form of connection known to man.
We enjoyed some good stories of gratitude on Tuesday at club. Stories of loved ones no longer with us. Stories of near-misses with death. Stories of treasured poems that have stood as lighthouses in our lives, constantly beaming wisdom as we travel through our seas and seasons.
Thank you for your participation in this story called Rotary. The story began over a hundred years ago in Chicago. The story continues to be retold anew every day around the world as friends gather to connect and serve.
On this long weekend, be sure to make time to share a few stories of your own life. If you have any gray poking out the topside, here is your responsibility and challenge: Share relevant stories of your life with the younger generations in a form that engages their imaginations.
The ground continues to move under our feet thanks in part to the forces of technology and climate change. This will only continue. A good story tucked into younger ears just might become a lighthouse someday.
Yours in Rotary,
Guy Evans

This week's photo of the new, refreshed Rotary flag was taken by Don Christenson last week. Thank you to Don for installing the new flag at Pingrey Park! | |
If you have a photo of the lake or interesting sights around Chelan, please share with Lester Cooper for publication in a future issue of the Lake Views.

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)
Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining"!
