Buzz on Biz
Program Sponsor: Dan Hodge
| |
|
This week our program will be Buzz on Biz. The Manson High School students who have participated in this spring's Buzz on Biz entrepreneurial class will conclude their work by giving team business plan presentations to a panel of Rotarians and community members. This is always a highlight of the Rotary year and a great way to meet some of the students in our community.
- Rotarian volunteers are needed to evaluate the student presentations, which are scored using a matrix. If you would like to participate, please arrive at the Tsillan Cellars Tasting room between 10 am and 10:30 am. Presentations start promptly at 10:30 am.
The students will join us for lunch, where the presentation of awards will take place.
Please contact Dan Hodge at 509-860-9451 if you have questions.

Rotary Attendance and Participation | |

Members are responsible for tracking your own attendance online. Watch for your weekly Wednesday email and let Brian Patterson know if you need assistance.
What counts as attendance? What really matters is your involvement and connection with others! While of course we would like to see you at Sorrento's each week for our lunch meetings, going to a Satellite meeting, attending online, participating in a committee meeting, project work sessions, community service work and other Rotary participation all count! View the attendance report at April 2023 Attendance
Watch for an email each Wednesday with a link to self-report attendance. It's easy and only take a minute to record your Rotary activity for the week!

Dear Rotarians,
This week I have three updates to share.
Lester Cooper Receives Award: As was mentioned in club last week, Lester Cooper was awarded a very special award at the District Conference. The Ed Cadman “You are the Key” Award is awarded to those Rotarians who have been the “key” in furthering the mission of Rotary, which is to provide service to others in the world. Congratulations Lester. You are most deserving. (Ed Cadman was Rotary International President in 1985/86.)
Exchange Students Highlighted: I enjoyed many aspects of the District Conference. I especially enjoyed seeing the presentations by this year’s exchange students. Here is a short 14 minute video showcasing some of the presentations. Hearing from the students as they prepare to head home after a year abroad reminds us of the power of Youth Exchange.
Cycle Chelan Momentum: On Tuesday, I reported that we had 430 riders signed up for Cycle Chelan. Last year we had 434 total riders. Today, the number had risen to 444! With nearly a month to go, we are in a very strong position in terms of ridership. Thank you to everyone who has helped in this successful launch. And thank you to all who will help us create a great event on June 24th!
Yours in Rotary,
Guy Evans

Lake Chelan Rotary's newest member, Caila Grubbs, was inducted to our club at the May 30 lunch meeting. Caila was sponsored by Jackie Recor of the Wenatchee Confluence club. Caila has lived in Chelan for about a year, and wants to get involved and meet others in our community while doing meanginful work. She has a master's degree in social work, has lived abroad in Chile where she taught English, and has worked in administration and direct service counseling. We look forward to service, fun and fellowship with Caila. Welcome! | |
Each week we get a countdown from Russ as to his retirement date - and it's almost here! Rotarians and friends are all welcome to stop by to congratulate Russ this next Friday, June 9. | |

Cycle Chelan Captains, SAGs and Safety Sign Teams, you should have received an email this week regarding a work party on Wednesday, June 7 at 8 a.m. If you are available your help is needed to modify and make directional signs for the Cycle Chelan rides. Brent Morrison will lead this effort and will have most of the materials. Meet at Ron Hart's shed at 8:00. Those coming need to bring a stapler capable of stapling paper to wood, screw gun, screwdriver (for removing old staples), utility knife and rags and water jug (for cleaning some of the signs). if you need directions to Ron Hart’s shed, please contact Brent at 509-860-1588.
Registered riders are up to 444 as of June 1! Make sure June 24 is on your calendar and keep sharing our event with everyone you know who might want to ride that day. You should have received an email with your volunteer assignment by now from Dan Hodge. Please contact him if you need to make changes or do not yet have an assignment.
And we are proud to have an official Cycle Chelan event sign at the West entrance to Chelan. Thank you to the Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce for sponsoring this sign, which will be displayed each June.

Thanks to the vision of Rotarian Craig Eggerman, Rotary is working to complete a lifejacket project designed to enhance water safety on the lake by expanding the availability of life jackets at area boat launches. A new rack is being built and installed at the Chelan city boat launch at Don Morse Park. Ty Witt and Don Christenson worked to design and build the rack, and life jackets are being donated by Craig. Signage will be created by Rotarian Kirk McGovern to note the support of Lake Chelan Rotary, and to let boaters, kayakers and swimmers know they can "Borrow a Life Jacket, Return a Life Jacket." | |
The next Rotary highway road cleanup is scheduled for Tuesday, June 6 at 3:30 pm. All interested in helping will meet at Lakeside Park & Ride. Questions? Please contact Don Christenson at 509-990-7414. | |
