LAST WEEK AT ROTARY
Our speaker last week was Colonel (retired) Doug “Stoli” Nikolai’s.  He had a wonderful program on patriotism for our great nation through 4 historical vignettes of true U.S. patriots and the importance of honor in our daily lives.   He emphasized how getting engaged to make a difference and taking a stand when necessary can have a positive influence at the local, state and national levels. You will be seeing more of Doug as he is being proposed as a member of our club!
 
We welcomed Diana Carey back as a member.  Diana was a former member of our club in 1997.  She moved out of our area and is now back with us.  Welcome back Diana!

YOUTH EXCHANGE - ARE YOU INTERESTED IN HOSTING?
The Youth Exchange Committee invites families interested in hosting our next student to make their wishes known.  Last year, we had 4 families interested before we even knew who our student was going to be.  Generally, families will be considered in the order in which they express their interest.  Your hosting is for a 3 to 4 month period.  To put your name on an interested (but perhaps not 100% committed) list, please contact Marie Norberg, Eva Marie Restel or Jack Haase.
