REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS:

 

The PETS Conference

 

Glenn Pulliam attended the recent PETS Conference.  This is the required training conference for incoming club presidents.  He shared some of his experiences at the Conference.  He also explained two projects presented by the District Governor’s wife. She is asking for help in making quilts for Rotoplast patients and knitted bears for AIDS orphans in Africa.  Glenn provided the instructions for each and asked for the club’s help in finding volunteers to make them.

 

CLUB BYLAWS

 

When K. R. Robertson gets back on his feet he will want your comments about the Bylaws he distributed in December, which you have, I am sure, reviewed as he asked.  We cannot find the Bylaws for the Club and need to adopt new ones.

Crab Feed Results

 

Chris Hatch (with help from Steve Plume) reported the Crab Feed netted $5,500.

 

 

 

HARVEST FESTIVAL

 

 

 

The 2007 Harvest Feed results are still in the works according to Dan Davis.

Regarding the 2008 Harvest Festival, Steve advises that the Harvest Festival Committee meetings will be held as needed after our regular Rotary meetings.  He indicates that all the committee chairpersons know what they have to do, so start doing it.
