Eileen Jennings presented a program on the Rotary Foundation.
CLUB NEWS and ANNOUNCEMENTS
President Brenda called for volunteers to help with the Running Dead Zombie Race to be held October 10. "We need 100 people to hand out water, sign people up, tell people where to go, and some to be zombies and jump out to scare runners."
Bob Chadwick said that "Goodie Bags" will be passed out to runners. If you have anything that could be put in bags like that, please let him know. Helpers will be needed at 11:00 am next Tuesday to pack the bags.
Thanks to
Maier & Associates for their major sponsorship of the Running Dead race. That is a huge step toward a successful event.
The club was updated on Vocational Day coming November 10. If you can help, please sign up.
Members are reminded of the new fun event called "
Rotary Night Out At the Brewery". This will be on September 30 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at the
Tri-City Brewing Company, 3020 N. Water St. The
Gypsy Wagon Band will provide entertainment and there will be free snacks to compliment the many types of beer and soft drinks you can purchase. This is a time to relax and kick up your heels and get to know fellow Rotarians in a very relaxed setting.
The Club will
MEET OFF-SITE at the Depot on October 6 and 27.
The ad hoc meeting location committee is in the process of
reviewing our current meeting location. This occasional review was suggested the last time the club moved. If you have comments or suggestions, please contact Brenda Scramlin.
Members are encouraged to bring correct change for lunches and 50/50 tickets. Please don't expect the ticket table staff to make change for a $100 bill.

DISTRICT DISPATCH newsletters are available in the LINKS section below.
