The Club Board was notified in late July 1999 that since TAF would be adding an elevator to the Wells Center, Rotary would need to vacate. DALE MC HENRY and OSCAR HOPKINS volunteered to look for Club office/storage space.

An ad hoc Club Committee (Committee) has been meeting for the past several months to review the Club’s relationship with PMO. The Committee proposed a five-point proposal, approved by Club Board at its meeting on September 13th, for review with BRIAN. The five-point proposal consists of the following: #1 - Continue with the Annual Dinner, scheduled for March 21, 2000, but cancel the May Outing; #2 - Club and PMO plan an Annual Community Fund Raising Event; #3 - Continue with presentation of “Service Above Self Award” and mugs to senior members of the Glee Club at the Club meeting during Senior Week in May; #4 - Club sell PMO tapes, cassettes, and CD’s prior to Holiday Season as was done with Sees Candy; and #5 - Current and future PMO Directors to be honorary members of the Club. There will be need for further refinement and possible committee(s) changes.
