President Frazier's Preview of 2014-15

     Our Program on July 1^st was President Steve’s first meeting, and he took the opportunity to give us a preview of things in store for us this year.

     First off, he promised three things: the present microphone will be replaced with one that is appropriate for our use, either a lapel mic or a headset mic. Second promise: good speakers each given 20 minutes to present their subject and 5 minutes for questions. Third promise: each meeting will end on time (this one was 3 minutes over).

     Then President Steve listed the charities and programs that we will be supporting this year. The list included ICA, the Karen Sorbo Foundation, Polio Plus, the Shelter Box Program, the Hearing Aid Program in Peru with the Starkey Foundation, and Camp Tanadoona. We’re making a special donation to the MHS Choir to help them make their trip to Rome and Italy next school year, setting up a program to help parents using Don Draayer’s latest book as the core, and sponsoring a survival training class to be held at Camp Tanadoona.

     On the social side, Third Thirsty Thursday will return this year with the first meeting to be held at Excelsior Brewing Company.

     It looks like the start of another great Rotary Year.
