Earl Tilly was a guest at our June 16th meeting. He talked about StoveTeam International and the positive impact the small portable stoves can have on the health of women and on economic development in less developed countries. The stoves, pictured on the left side of the photo, use 60% less fuel and produce 90% less airborne particulates. Earl is working with several Rotary clubs to build a small factory in Nicaragua to build these clean-burning stoves.
Matt reported that 690 riders signed up. He expects we will net about $30,000 to support the scholarship program.
We have extra t-shirts for sale for $15. Check with Matt or anyone from the Bike committee.
We had leftover gatorade which was sold to several Rotarians at the meeting including Tom Utigard, pictured at right.
We received a $90 donation from Lorraine Church, the widow of Sunrise Rotarian Bob Church, in honor of what would have been Bob's 90th birthday. Thanks Lorraine!
Rotary Fellowships
Jim Adamson handed out a list of Rotary Fellowships. These groups of Rotarians, Rotarians' spouses, and Rotaractors who share a common interest, wish to further their vocational development, or would like to make new friends. See more details on page 51 of the June 2015 Rotarian Magazine.
Award Winners
Lisa Tidd was honored by Carol Adamson at our changeover dinner this week with the Mark Anderson Presidential Service Award. PJ Jones was named Rotarian of the Month. Congratulation PJ and Lisa.
Norm Sturm was happy to travel to our meeting on his Honda Windjammer. Very cool!
