CLUB CONCERNS

PRESIDENT DAVE BOUGH, requested members/spouses to keep the following in their thoughts and prayers: JOHN and EUDORA MC KEE; ED PAGE; FAE SPURLOCK; Marjorie spouse of DICK WALKER, BOB BROCK who had surgery on his back at Mayo Clinic; and ROY WHISTLER.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

DAVE reminded us that committee sign-up sheets for next year are still available on the back table. There are two new committees: Family of Rotary and Rotaract. International Understanding Committee was inadvertently left off. It involves setting up activities with International students at Purdue. Please rank your choices and we will try to put you on your first choices.

VICKI MAYES announced that June is "Take an Intern to Rotary" month for our local club. If you have an intern, doctoral candidate or a post-doctoral candidate working with you this summer, bring him/her to a Rotary meeting in June. Treat them to lunch and to learn about Rotary, so they may be prepared to join a club when they settle into a "real" job. This is a great opportunity for us to increase the participation in Rotary in the future. We have special flyers for them to take with them, explaining Rotary International and Lafayette Rotary.

If you know which date in June you are bringing them, let DAVE LAHR lahrandlahr@aol.com or JANE ttours@pop.nlci.com know and we will have their badge ready at the back desk.

Thank you to LETA KELLEY for donating the Eradicate Polio jackpot ($615.00) to the Polio Fund last week. That's the true Rotary spirit!

President DAVE pointed out that we are at $22,966 with 99 members contributing. Those celebrating birthdays in June have an opportunity to help us reach our goal of $25,000 by making Birthday Table contributions toward this effort.
