Monty Allen, last year's Foundation Chair, conducted our Annual Foundation drawing for a lucky member to win a week's stay at the Bowles' cabin. Congratulations to Nancy Chadick whose name was drawn and a BIG THANK YOU to the Bowles for providing their cabin! Anyone who contributes $100 or more to The Rotary Foundation during a Rotary year (July 1 - June 30) is eligible for this drawing. Monty also held the drawing for our Paul Harris Fellow group, and Marv Fisher was the winner. The PHF group consists of 10 members who committed to contribute $100 per year for 10 years, with one member being named a Paul Harris Fellow annually.
Our Outbound RITE teachers shared about their experiences in Panama this summer.
