Volume 87, Number 1 - July 3, 2001

UPCOMING PROGRAM (July 10, 2001)

CIVIC THEATRE AT 70 - THE CELEBRATION SEASON: This year the Monon Depot is 100; Civic Theatre is 70; Civic Youth Theatre is 15; Civic's home has been the Monon Depot for 20 years; and Civic Under the Stars (CUTS) at the County Amphitheater is now in its fifth year; therefore, a glimpse at how usage of this community outdoor venue has increased would seem a logical tie-in. With State Fair, the "BIG" show of this summer's CUTS, scheduled to open July 13th at the Amphitheater, this timing would seem to be an ideal fit. JIM HANKS will be the moderator, and will introduce SUSAN KISINGER, John David Collier, and SUE EILER, spouse of ED.

NOTE: Next week's "Ripples", July 10th issue, will not be electronically sent, but will be bulk mailed to all Rotarians.

NOTE: Committee assignments for the 2001-2002 Rotary Year are on the back of this issue of "Ripples." Please check to see your committee(s) assignments and become involved. If your name is not listed and you wish to be involved, please contact GRIFF with your preferences, the appropriate committee chair will be notified. Should your name be spelled incorrectly, or you are listed on a committee that you do not wish to participate, please contact GRIFF, that correction will be made when the next six-month "Ripples" supply is ordered in early December. Rotary needs your assistance and hopefully you need Rotary's assistance.
