May 8, 2007 – Rotary Notes
From the Top:
Lori and I met with Koy's next host family Monday
evening. She will be joining the Sennov's the
weekend of May 19th for her last six weeks in the
U.S. During the discussion we realized that Koy, as
a senior at Dexter High School, will be done with
school on May 18th. This will leave her with many
days to fill before her departure in early July.
Please keep this in mind as you plan day trips. If
you think it would be something Koy might enjoy
please contact Lori to coordinate with the host
family.
A couple weeks ago I passed out our upcoming meeting
locations. If you recall, we were to be at
different locations during the month of June. That
schedule has been altered slightly and the new
locations are listed below.
Thru June 7: Cornerstone cafeteria
June 14: Cornerstone
School MEDIA CENTER
June 21 thru August 30: CREEKSIDE SCHOOL cafeteria
(this is our prior location)
June 28: No Breakfast
meeting (Presidents’ Night event at Gordon Hall,
dinner served)
September 6 thru June 2008: Cornerstone School
cafeteria
Thanks,
--Fred

GSE Report:
Many thanks to all who
made our Thai guests feel welcome in Dexter during
what was a very busy week for many of us. Hai, Jay
and Amy enjoyed their only “small-town” experience
in America while they were with us. Special thanks
to Gil for arranging a tour of Gordon Hall and to
Paul for making time to do the tour. If you’ve not
been there yourself, you’re in for a treat on
presidents’ night. Also thanks to Francie for
assisting with dinner Thursday night and especially
to Ulf for hosting Hai.
Our GSE next year will be with Turkey. Please
consider your friends, acquaintances and employees
who might be interested in participating in this
all-expenses-paid opportunity to learn about their
field through a cross-cultural exchange.
Participants must be age 25-40 and may be in any
vocational field. Applications will be accepted next
Fall so start working on them now.
Rotate Your Food:
For the 2nd year, our
club will cooperate with Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti in
the “Rotate Your Food” project which has as it’s
goal to collect extra food to stock Foodgatherers
shelves during the summer months. When schools are
out, donations tend to drop while families needing
food rise because school lunch programs are not
available. Last year’s “Rotate Your Food” drive
collected over a ton and a half of food!
This year’s drive is scheduled for June 4-16. Here
is the list of participants in Dexter. A collection
container will be supplied to each of these
locations. Please notify me
lsprague75@sbcglobal.net if I left
out your location (or included you in error.)

Busch's (Dexter)
Country Market (Dexter)
