	May 4-6 is the 2007 District Conference in Sedalia. All Rotarians are invited and encouraged to attend. June 17-20 is the 2007 International Convention in Salt Lake City. There is great information about the Convention on the Rotary International website: If you have an interest in the District Conference or the International Convention, please let Paige Scott know. The Group Study Exchange Team (GSE) from Germany will visit April 14--17th. 10 members still need to pay their January-June dues. In our dues statement, each member was asked to contribute $10 to the Rotary Foundation Polio Plus Program. Your $10 gift will provide enough polio vaccine for 16 children. Members of our Club have contributed a little over $1,200 so far--an average of $8.82 per member. If every member gives an additional $1.18, we’ll meet our goal. To learn more about the Polio Plus Program please see your February 2007 Rotarian magazine or visit the Rotary International website.
