President Kim Prime
After a number of years, the board came to the conclusion that it's time to re-examine our major fund raiser,
International Night.
After an introduction by President Kim, the members were given printed guidelines and asked that each table discuss the issues and try to make some suggestions. At the end of the meeting each table was asked to report their conclusions to Gena Gates.
Following the meeting, a questionaire was distributed to all members by e-mail. Anyone who was not at the meeting, or anyone who had other ideas were asked to use the questionaire as a guide to report back to Gena Gates.
Gena's e-mail said:
This International Night Survey
is provided for people who were not present at today's meeting (Jan 15, 2013) or who wish to add additional comments. This is an opportunity, not a requirement.
Thanks much! I'm looking forward to reading all of the comments from today's meeting!
Gena Gates

CLUB NEWS and ANNOUNCEMENTS
President Kim read several letters from school kids who had received the dictionaries.
Members of the Rotary Club,
Thank you for the dictionary.
My favorite part of the book was that you made it in A-B-C order!
Kim said we'll certainly take credit for that innovation.

Thesaurus Project.
The books have been delivered and she is working on scheduling deliveries. She has arranged to have high school students who need community service hours to label and organize the books for delivery.
