(2) Of equal importance to celebrate our friendship with each other and the members of the Purdue Varsity Glee Club;
and (3) Theme for this dinner is “Rotary Makes A Difference.” Prior to the invocation,

HAROLD L. MICHAEL (8/3/99); HUGH H. STEELE, SR. (8/18/99); WILLIAM H. HAYT, JR. (10/14/99); and EVERETT WRIGHT (1/1/00).

Committee, next year); and (4) His spouse BEVERLY, and Ewa Checko, an Exchange Student from the Agriculture University in Cracow,

Double Diamond, Diamond, Golden Plus, and Golden Service; and Paul Harris Fellows, members who have made contributions of at
least $1,000.00 to The Rotary International Foundation. There were several highlights of the evening: (1) Recognizing the
80th birthday, the 21st was his birthdate, of BOB ADAMS, who had “Happy Birthday” sung to him by the Glee Club;
(2) Another highlight was the awarding of the Rotarian-of-the Year Award to JERRY MC CARTHY by President GENE, it is hoped
that the next issue of “Ripples” will have space enough to offer some, if not all, of the Rotary and community
efforts of JERRY; (3) Another highlight was the premier showing of a nine-minute video, produced by CHRIS FUNK, and narrated by
JIM HANKS, which illustrated why it is felt that “Rotary Makes A Difference” - as OSCAR’s introduction
stated, “Sit back and prepare for a brief ride as CHRIS and JIM take us through the fields of Rotary’s many
endeavors”; and of course (4) Another outstanding performance by the Purdue Varsity Glee Club under the direction

of the best ever. It was a most enjoyable evening!
