December 9, 2015 hold the date -- Bill McDowell announced plans for the holiday party.  We can kick it up with the senior citizens at Bonaventure using their dining room for free, or pay more that we would like to have a room at the Country Club.  There was general agreement that neither is ideal.  Alternatives suggested: Dinner at Lulu's or Andreas Keller (Jay Higgins' wife's restaurant). [Call out the grammar police on that one.]

Rotarian of the Month -- Wayne announced the Rotarian of the Month is Jim Huffman.  Jim is recognized for many contributions including: chairing the program committee; serving as secretary, president, board member, and Assistant Governor (he successfully batted for the cycle for you baseball fans); earning a spot as a Paul Harris Fellow; serving as Douglas County Port Commissioner; and organizing our fire victims support group.  We are lucky to have him in our Club.  Jim announced he recently attended a prison industries conference but we did not hold that against him.  Thanks for all you do.

Youth Exchange -- Mateo has is paperwork done and we expect him to arrive in Wenatchee October 9.

Renaissance Man -- Our newest member, Mike Coleman, made a big hit at the annual picnic last Saturday with this homemade peach cobbler.  He also was our speaker this week talking about fiber services of the Chelan PUD and the quick response and restoration of those services after the Chelan fires (see details below).  Great start to your Club membership, Mike!  Keep up the good work.
