ROTARY 10k race tomorrow: Members who signed up to help: Case, Carnelli, Street, Wolff, Pergander, Gagne, Hiestand, Boyd, Clark, Struthers, Bertram, Celik - 2, Frieman, DuBois.  Even if you didn't sign up please come - all help is welcome and needed.  Rotarians should be there at 6:00 a.m.  Because two of the blocks  (Kenton and Oxford have only base pavement with 1 1/2" drops at each end and manhole covers above pavement level, well need extra people at those  blocks to remind runners to watch the edges.

Thanks to all who assembled goody bags at Parkway Bank:  Christine Celik (our hostess), Barry Clark,  Joe Boyd, Bob Franz, Bob & Sue Rosenbacher, and Barb Struthers.

Thanks to Nancy Milota (hostess), Vic Carnelli, Joe Boyd, Jack Gagne, Mary Pergander, Bob Rosenbacher, and Barb Struthers for assembling race registration packets.

Board of directors will meet Tuesday, July 8 at noon in West Deerfield Township office.  All members are invited to board meetings.  President Chuck wants to discuss possible club projects for this year.   

District recognition for Deefield Rotary’s 2007-08 service:  see the district web site, Outstanding club programs and projects.  Google “Rotary district 6440.”

Our new district governor is Pam Kerr.  Pam was the 2003-2004 president of the Rotary Club of Wilmette Harbor.  Governor Pam also served her club as membership chair, club service chair, secretary, club foundation chair, and, of course, a board member. For the district, she was an assistant governor and outbound GSE coordinator for the Japan 2006 team.

Thanks to PDG Mike Erickson for coming last week to present us with our presidential citation.  There were 6 requirements for this:

Membership:  Increase membership by 1 (we increased by 10%!), and we reported our new members promptly as required (Thanks, Barry).

Club service:  Our incoming officers went to PETS, 2 members attended the zone conference; all club activities involved multiple club members.

Vocational service: all new members received copies of the 4-way test and a handbook, and several members are in trade associations.

Community service:  these included our support for NICASA, our literacy project, the teen driver safety program—banners, golf carts, alcohol-simulator glasses, support for 3 Guys and a Truck, July 4 race, support for St. Malachy’s, the DHS robotics team, and others.

International service:  We sponsored a 3H grant application and sent a member to Guatemala.

Students:  We sponsored RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership) students.

Mike will also be running in our 10k race on Friday.

District service trip to Guatemala will be Feb 28 – March 9, 2009.  We have one member (Barbara Struthers) already signed up, and possibly Vic Carnelli, assuming we can bring the area dental office boat to our work site.  This is a wonderful experience, and members who speak Spanish are especially needed.

This year’s district conference is at the Marriott Lincolnshire, Oct. 2-5, starting with golf on Oct. 2.
