Seybold, Associate Director, Convocations and Lectures, will talk about Purdue Convocations' 100th Birthday.
PRESIDENT OSCAR introduced DAVID BOUGH, who in turn introduced Honorary Rotarian, SONYA MARGERUM, Mayor of
West Lafayette, who made a most interesting and comprehensive presentation, "State of the City 2001." SONYA was most gracious enough to provide a copy of her presentation, but space does not
permit copying. Excerpts will be placed in future "Ripples." SONYA closed with a Q & A session and wanted, in lieu of a Rotary wheel, for the Club to make a contribution to the Foundation.
