Our program on March 27th was presented by our president-elect, Tim Litfin. His term as president begins July 1.

     Tim introduced his board of directors, and told us of things to come during the 2012-2013 year, especially focusing on August’s activities. There are three events planned for our club that month, and it is important that all of our members are involved in all of them.

     The first is the Tour de Tonka. This is a bike ride event that Tim started when he came to town, and which is very successful – over 2500 riders start at MHS and ride varying distances from 5 to 100 miles on a Saturday morning, this year August 4th. Volunteers from our club and elsewhere make it a smooth-running event.

     The new event is “Escape to Tanadoona”, which occurs on Saturday, August 11th. A series of breakout sessions and “campfire events” and lunch is planned, with other Rotarians and the general public invited. Molly will be looking for plenty of help in setting that up.
  
The third event is the annual Golf Fundraiser on Monday, a 27th. This event is co-sponsored with the A M club, and they have the major responsibilities this year, but Karen will need many volunteers to handle important tasks. Dinner and auction are part of the day, and this event is our major annual fundraiser.

Next week:    Dan Fleak will talk about Social Security, and Dick Osgood will be Greeter.
