Volume 88, Number 49 - June 24, 2003 This week's meeting was conducted from back to front. After ringing the bell, DAVE BOUGH said, "The meeting is adjourned." What followed is reflected here until the bell rang again � after singing the Star Spangled Banner. Your not as clever editor will write the Ripples in the normal order. NEXT WEEK'S PROGRAM Thanks to DAVE BOUGH and welcome to BETTY SUDDARTH MEETING FUNCTIONS: Money Collectors - MARTHA CHISCON - 11:15 to 11:45 a.m., and PAUL POST - 11:45 a.m.
to 12:15 p.m.; Greeter - LETA KELLEY; Invocation - STEVE KNECHT JULY PROGRAMS
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, ROY WHISTLER AND TOM MORAN who fell off a ladder last week and is recovering at Home Hospital. ANNOUNCEMENTS TERRY WEST reported that District Governor HUGH BAKER mentioned some disturbing news at a recent Ambassadorial Scholars meeting. To date our District has donated only $114,000
to RI this year, exclusive of the Polio Plus program. Usually the District donates in excess of $ 200,000 per year. In several years, RI gives back one-half of this to the District for various projects including the
Ambassadorial Scholars program. This means that in two years the District will really be strapped for funds. HUGH asked that we try to contribute some more money to the Paul Harris funds and have our correspondence post
marked no later than Monday June 30. It would be a shame to have to eliminate the Ambassadorial Scholars program in light of our phenomenal success in nominating the District scholar in the past five years. Those with
Birthdays in July may want to contribute early in order to help the program this year. Anyone wishing to see personal contact information destined for the new Directory may contact DAVE LANDGREBE at
District Governor KAREN BLUE will be here July 8th. All Board Members and Committee Chairs are to meet with her at 10:30 in the Purdue Room at University Inn. Please mark your calendars and be ready to report
on your committee's plans for the new year. If you would like an Indiana ROTARY license plate, please see JANE for forms. SMALL GROUP DINNER Thursday, June 26th,
6:00 P.M. at McGraws Steak Chop and Fish House on South River Road. Please make reservations with ADRIENNE BOUGH. Please sign up for SHOTS NOT SPOTS on July 30th
10 � 6 at the Fairgrounds. The sign up sheet is on the bulletin board. Or you can contact SANDY PEARLMAN. CONGRATULATIONS
THANK YOU
Dear Betty (Doversberger): What a wonderful gift from the Lafayette Rotary Club Youth Committee! Though too much time has passed for a simple thank you, I wanted to update you on our scholarship program. This year, two (2) children were enrolled in youth classes and one young adult is a part of our most recent Improv class due to scholarships. Six (6) children will be
attending summer camps on scholarships. In the meantime, several additional families have asked for scholarship applications.
None of this would be possible without your support. Please accept Civic's sincere gratitude for your assistance. I can tell you it truly made a difference in the lives of these individuals. Best regards, PROGRAM
Converging to make this a great place are: 1) We're a can-do town, 2) Vision 2020 is a historic coming together in this can-do town, 3) The whole engagement effort by
Purdue (the 800 pound gorilla) proves a willingness to be part of the can-do town with a vision! News flashes:

JIM TURLEY recognized DON BIDDLE, a first time PAUL HARRIS FELLOW, BILL HEATH, for his second PHF and VIRGIL ST. JOHN for his third PHF. The club appreciates your generosity, as does the Rotary world.
JIM HANKS wrote a very clever poem to introduce MIKE PIGGOTT
and to bid PRESIDENT DAVE BOUGH farewell. MIKE, known to most of us as the news director and anchor at WLFI-TV, is now Director of Community Relations at Purdue University. This
position gives him the opportunity to be part of the "harmonic convergence" of Two Great Cities, One Great University � this slogan the result of a branding process for our community.
