HURRICANE KATRINA DONATIONS: As of 9/12/05, members of our club had contributed $17,776 to the Red Cross and Salvation Army to support recovery efforts in the hurricane ravaged region. These contributions have either been made through the Club at meetings or members have notified Steve Scott or Darcy Wells of the amounts they’ve contributed directly to the American Red Cross or Salvation Army on their own.
CLUB
SOCIAL EVENT: Mark your calendar for our next club social, which will
be held on Thursday, September 29, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. at the
University Club. The per-person cost will be $10, which will include beer,
wine and hors d'oeuvres. RSVP and send checks to Paula Tiernan, 709 Boulder
Dr., Columbia, MO 65201 (make checks payable to Paula). Club members who
belong to the University Club may pay through their University Club account
-- just let Paula know that's what you want to do. Club members are invited
to make an evening of it by having dinner at the University Club after the
social. For that evening only, club members who are not University Club members
may enjoy dinner there but will need to pay with a credit card or cash.
To make reservations, call Emily at 882-2586 and tell her you're with Rotary.
- BOARD CANDIDATES: The Nominating Committee has nominated the following six club members as candidates for three Board of Directors positions to be filled in the Club Election on September 29: Lex Akers, Jim Elliott, Glen Heggie, Darlene Johnson, Jim Ollar and Al Tacker. Biographical sketches of the candidates will be circulated at club meetings in September. Click here to view the bios on-line.
- FUND RAISER: The club is now actively selling sterling silver bracelets with a pawprint charm as a fundraiser. 20% of the profits go to the local community and 80% to projects in Mexico. Check out the flyer for additional details, or see Janice, Darlene or Phil.
