CONGRATULATIONS



JIM TURLEY, chair of the International Foundation Committee, presented Paul Harris Fellow recognition to (Left to right) Steve Hychka (SUSAN'S husband), BILL PAPE and TOM ROBINSON. BILL PAPE received a pin with one sapphire denoting a second Paul Harris Fellow recognition. A BIG Rotary thank-you to all three for generous contributions to the Rotary International Foundation.





Committee sheets are available at the back table or on-line.

• Now that committees are meeting, make-up credit can be given if committee chairs will report attendance to me by e-mail or bringing a list to the n ext meeting.
• If you find anything regarding you that needs to be corrected in the new Directory (i.e., employer, position, e-mail, spouse's name, etc.), please contact m e or DAVE LANDGREBE. We are now working with one database instead of two, making it easier to keep updated and accurate records. Information that was correct in last year's directory was in Chris Funk's database and not necessarily in the one we are currently using. We can update as we go so that next year's directory will be correct.
• There is concern that some members are not able to see the Lafayette Rotary website. If you have the page bookmarked or in your "favorites" list, you will need to delete it. Go to the Rotary web page (www.lafayetterotary.org) and bookmark it again. There has been a tiny change made concerning the mysteries of computer technology, which helped us to keep the site going and manageable. If you have trouble connecting to the Ripples page from the link sent in the e-mail message, please contact BRUCE HARDING for help.

PRESIDENT BETTY's WISDOM

In keeping with the international focus--
The Japanese eat little fat and have fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The French eat a lot of fat and drink a lot of red wine and have fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The Italians drink a lot of red wine and have fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
Conclusion: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what gets you.
