CLUB NEWS and ANNOUNCEMENTS
President-elect Bob Chadwick, announced that officers and board have been selected for his term, which will begin in July 2017. Bob will be followed in 2018-19 by Harvey Schneider, the current President Nominee. Bob also announced that the 2019-20 President Nominee who follows Harvey will be Tara Welch.
The Board voted to extend our support of the amaranth seed project in Guatemala by extending the project to another two villages. This project will be funded by a $2,000 grant from the club's foundation and a matching $3,000 from member Chuck Cusick.
President Andrea noted that the family who was to host our exchange student for the second half of the year had a change in plans and will be moving prior to that term. Andrea is looking for a second family to host our student.
November 7 has been chosen for next year's Vocational Day. That's a year away so there's plenty of time to think about helping.
The next Rotary Night Out at the Brewery has been scheduled for January 14 at the Tri-City Brewery's new location.
The board will NOT meet in January.
President Andera reminded members that the box for collecting books for the Philippines is at the door each week. If you, or your family, has old kids books, be sure to see if they might be donated to this project.
