This was President Elect, Daryl Polk’s first meeting as acting President.  Opening the meeting, he asked Jim Patterson to give the invocation and Bill Apger to lead the flag salute.  If anyone doesn’t know yet, President Andy has gone to Montana to assist a former secretary of his, who is a tribal chief.  So the club has been turned over to President Elect, Daryl Polk.

REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS:

 

 

 

HARVEST FESTIVAL

 

 

 

The next monthly meeting of the Harvest Festival Committee will be on Thursday, June 14, 2007.  The meeting will be at the Italian Cottage on the Skyway, at 7:00 a.m.  All committee chairpersons must be present. 

 

Steve Greenwood distributed Sponsorship forms and information.  He noted that it is time to lock up the sponsors for this year’s Harvest Festival.  The T-Shirts must be printed in August, so we need all sponsor’s names by then.  Please contact the sponsors you have contacted in the past.

 

THE NEXT MEETING – CARNITAS FEED

 

The next meeting (June 12^{th, )} will be the Carnitas Feed, by Norm Larson (and his crew) and Roy Ellis.  It will be at the Durham Park. Spouses and significant others are invited.  If you need more tickets, contact Steve Greenwood.  I believe that it was announced several weeks ago that each member will be charged for 4 tickets, so bring someone in addition to your spouse an significant other.  Rotary scholarship winners and their families will be our guests.  Penny Chennell has agreed to be in charge of selling tickets.  Bruce Miller and Bruce Norlie will assist with drinks.

 

Patrick Ranch Threshing Bee Parking

 

Bruce Norlie’s still needs some  volunteers to assist in parking at the Patrick Ranch during the Threshing Bee this weekend,  June 9^th and 10^th.  Actually he had Saturday morning and Sunday pretty well taken care of, but no one for Saturday afternoon.  He needs three people.  Even if you cannot do the afternoon, volunteer for the morning, because a couple scheduled in the morning can move to the afternoon.  Call Bruce.  343-8969 or bnorlie@sbcglobal.net.   Bruce also asked those scheduled for 9:00 am on Saturday to be there by 8:30 am to get organized. 

 

Silver Dollar Fair-Junior Livestock Auction

 

Glenn Pulliam announced that he purchased, for the Club, a goat at the Junior Livestock Auction.  He passed a photo around.  He indicated that the prices were so high on the usual animals that staying within the budget the Club allowed him resulted in his being out bid on lamb and pigs.  The goat was the only animal within the budget.

 

SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS

 

Roy Ellis introduced our Durham High School Scholarship winners for 2007.  Durham Rotary awarded scholarships to 18 students totaling $21,000.  Melissa Charbonneau was awarded the $2,000 Interact Scholarship.  Corey Arnold and Evan Diluca each were awarded a $2,000 Wayne Cook Scholarship (Wayne doubled his contribution this year).  The following each received a $1,000 scholarship:  Elizabeth Howard, Arielle Hofer, Hagen Atkins, Dana Baylis, Mary Gurzuich, Kelly Johnson, Jennifer Johnston, Carolanne Prentice, William Neepoth, Kenneth Piercy, Anthony Sushill, Sara Spafford, Wiatt Chase, Kayla Hensley and Rachael King.

 

Camp Royal

 

Roy also introduced our Camp Royal students for this year.  They were Cody, Mathew, Heather and Laura.  He went too fast for me to get the last names correctly, so I am not going to guess.  We will hear more from them after the Camp, which starts on June 16^th.

^{This elegant affair entitled “Moonlight On The River” will be held} on the Sun Dial Bridge and Turtle Bay Arboretum, in Redding, on Saturday, June 30, 2007, beginning at 6:30 p.m.  You will be sipping champagne while strolling on the Sundial bridge and having dinner in the garden patio, as the sun is setting and the moon is rising overhead.  It will be put on by the Redding and Anderson Clubs jointly.  It will include a gourmet dinner, part 2 of the raffle ticket drawing, silent auction, music and much more.  The price will be $125 per person or $1500 fpr a table of 8.  Reservation details will be forthcoming soon!  For more information contact Marlene Woodard, Event Coordinator at 244-4320 or office@aplannedaffair.net.

 

International Convention

 

The Rotary International Convention will be Sunday 06/17/07 09:00am - Wednesday 06/20/07 09:00pm in Salt Lake City.  The Rotary convention, often compared to a mini-United Nations conference, will attract Rotary club members from around the world to the state-of-the-art Salt Palace Convention Center. Rotary conventions held in the United States typically draw about 25,000 registrants.

 

RECOGNITIONS

 

President-Elect Daryl went through the list of members who were not Bell Ringers for the year as yet.  The following contributed the amount of their shortfall to become Bell Ringers:  Glenn Pulliam contirbuted $32.  Jane Ziad contributed $34.  Tom Vanella contributed $14.  Jim Patterson contributed #41.  Dan Davis contributed $79.  Joe Knock contributed $25.  Stve Greenwood contributed $59.

 

Jim Kirks announced the birth of his 8th grandchild.  He vollunteered $100 in recognition.

 

PROGRAM

 

The program was a Club Assembly to plan for next year.  The most important item discussed was membership.  It was noted that the Chico Sunrise had completed a successful membership drive and perhaps we should get their members responsible for it to talk to use.  Rotary International is expecting that each club will have a net increase of membership of 2 to 3 members this year.  Jane Ziad volunteered to work on a membership committee.  Bruce Norlie volunteered to assist.

 

Also discussed was advertising and publicity of the Club, and what it does, and international projects.

 

 

Must  Be Present To Win Drawing

 

New member, Tom Knowles, was present to win the drawing.  He has only been a member a few weeks and most of us wait years to win it.
