March 20, 2007 – Rotary Notes
From the Top:
The GSE team from Thailand will be in our area soon.
As Lori indicates below, there is still a need for
volunteers to house and/or transport the team
members. Please give this consideration if you can
help out.
I'm sure Jeff Brown
will let us know of the many opportunities to work
on the playhouse. Be ready this Thursday to let
Jeff know when you will be there. This is a great
way to get to know your fellow club members outside
of our meetings.
As I announced last
week, I have rejoined my former accounting
firm Deloitte LLP. My contact information follows
should you need to reach me.

Announcements:
This Week’s
Program:
Faye Wiseley will speak to us about
Pride and Honor Flights. You may have read about
this effort in the “Dexter Leader” recently. Their
goal is to take as many World War II veterans as
possible to see their new memorial in Washington,
D.C. Faye will share the experiences vets have had
visiting the memorial and tell us how we can help.
Invocations:
??
March Set-up: Jim Brady and Fred
Rickelmann
March Take-down: Steve Gergely and
Sandy Hansen
Art, Food & Wine Ticket Sales:
The Art, Food & Wine extravaganza is
only one month away! We’ve sent the cards asking our
friends to “save the date.” Now is the time to
follow up with the folks on your list and get
tickets into their hands.
Facts: The Art, Food & Wine event is on Sunday,
April 22.
Tickets are $50 per person.
This is our major fundraiser for scholarships.
Everyone has fun!
Group Study Team to Visit:
Our district is
hosting a Group Study Exchange team from Thailand
during the month of April. They will be in our area
April 25-27 and we are fortunate to be hosting one
of the team members in Dexter. So far we know that
she is a documentary film editor by the name of
Narwarat. She will be attending our April 26
meeting.
The team’s activities in this area are being
coordinated by the Ann Arbor club and they have
indicated they still need some help per the
following announcement:
GSE Visitors from Thailand Still Need Hosts and
Drivers:
Bill Dunifon and Spaulding Clark report that we
still need one more host family for the GSE team
from Thailand and that we also need some more
drivers to occasionally chauffeur them about. Please
contact Spaulding at
esclark2@comcast.net
or Bill at
bdunifon@aol.com
if you can help.
