Volume 87, Number 49 - June 11, 2002 UPCOMING PROGRAM (June 18, 2002)
UPCOMING PROGRAM (June 25, 2002) Tuesday, June 25, 2002: Leah Jamieson, Ransburg Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Purdue EPICS -Engineering Solutions to Lafayette's Community Needs." CLUB CONCERNS PRESIDENT OSCAR HOPKINS, requested members/spouses to keep the following in their thoughts and prayers: JOHN and EUDORA MC KEE; ED PAGE; FAE SPURLOCK; BEV STONE; HARLAND WHITE; Jay Wiley, son of JAY WILEY; and GRIFF (he had his right knee replaced Wednesday, June 5, 2002, he has been moved to the rehab section of Home Hospital and is doing well). Our deepest sympathy to KEVIN O'BRIEN and his family on the loss of KEVIN'S mother on 6/10/02. ANNOUNCEMENTS ROTARY CONCERNS: President OSCAR announced the search for a new
Lafayette Rotary Club Secretary at the request of GRIFF. President OSCAR and President Elect DAVE are accepting names of individuals who would be interested
in becoming Club secretary, salary is $400.00 per month - hourly amount is quite low. It would be an excellent way for someone to make a very worthwhile
contribution to the Club. GRIFF has been doing "Ripples" since July 1980 when he followed Curt Hostetter as Secretary, Curt was Secretary for 25 years, so one
doesn't need to worry about being replaced too often. Anyone interested please contact OSCAR or DAVE BOUGH. ROTARY "Ripples" The Executive Committee and Board of Directors have decided
starting this week "Ripples" will no longer be mailed, but sent to you electronically with a few copies available at the secretary's table at Rotary meetings.
PLEASE NOTE: After 40 years GRIFF is no longer employed at Purdue. This past weekend Rotary materials were moved from his office in Stewart Center to the
Rotary office located in the Cinergy PSI building, 621 North 3d Street - telephone 423-9813, there is no voice mail there now and while GRIFF is recovering no one will
be at this number for a while. Therefore, should you want to contact GRIFF, call his home at 474-5596 and leave a message. The Rotary International Year ends on June 30th. The Lafayette Rotary Club
International Foundation Committee is asking each Rotarian to consider a Rotary year-end gift to The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International. Use a contribution of
$200.00 to add to your Paul Harris Sustaining membership, or to complete qualification for a Paul Harris Follow. Make checks either of two ways: (1) Preferred
way is to make them payable to the Lafayette Rotary Foundation and provide specific information in the memo section of your check, i.e., Paul Harris Sustaining
Membership or Paul Harris Follow Award; or (2) Make checks payable to The Rotary Foundation of R.I. and provide specific information in the memo section of
your check, i.e., Paul Harris Sustaining membership or Paul Harris Follow Award. Regardless of to whom you make the check payable, it is important that the
check(s) be mailed to DAVID LANDGREBE, Treasurer, Lafayette Rotary Foundation, 1633 Western Drive, West Lafayette, IN 47906. If checks are made
payable to The Rotary Foundation of R.I., it will be recorded in the Lafayette Rotary Foundation data base, and forwarded directly to The Rotary International
Foundation, and if the check is made payable to the Lafayette Rotary Foundation, the check will be recorded in the Lafayette Rotary Foundation data bass and
forwarded to The Rotary Foundation of R.I. Please try to do this before June 25th to give DAVID time to assemble the checks and information to forward to Rotary
International (R.I.) in time to get Rotary year-end credit for you and our Club. Remember, your gift to this Foundation funds international programs including
PolioPlus, International Scholars and Group Study Exchange, to mention a few. Also included are contributions to fund matching grants, such as the Dubey Eye Clinic and others. PROGRAM (June 11, 2002)

Kathryne Newton, Associate Professor of Industrial Technology and Excellence 21 Coordinator, Purdue University; Topic: "Getting
Past the Plan: Getting Things Done in a Changing Economy." Planning is an essential part of effective management. But what can managers do to help their organizations implement those great
plans and measure the results? Dr. Newton will talk about ways to manage change in a changing economy. SUSAN HYCHKA, June 4th and 11th, and BETTY NELSON, June18th, and 25th, are June Co-Chair persons. 
BETTY NELSON introduced GARY SUISMAN who spoke at today's meeting, GARY who is President and Publisher of the Lafayette Journal & Courier
, gave an interesting presentation about our local daily paper. Publishing the Journal & Courier is like writing a novel daily. There is also an online version and a Journal & Courier En Espa�ol
that is published once a month, 24 to 30 pages with about 4 to 5,000 printed. They are discussing printing it more often in the future. A large portion of the letters to the editors
sent are printed in the paper 89% in 2000 and 79% in 2001 (so, many letter's after 9/11 is the main reason the % went down in 2001). The two main reasons letter
don't make it into the paper is that they can't get in touch with the writer (they check every letter) and that the letter was too long and they don't want to edit it.
