September 8 Announcements, etc.

Annual Sunrise Rotary Picnic -- Hold the date, Saturday 9/19    Prepare yourself and your family and friends for an afternoon of carnivorous delights!  This annual event sounds like a blast.  It takes place at Tom Utigard's orchard.  PJ and Don Sangster cook the meats outdoors using what sounds like a fairly elaborate (or perhaps just kludgy) fire and spit system.  Participants should bring a chair, their own beverages, and a side dish to share.  The food should be ready about 2:00 pm, although there is considerable uncertainty.  That means you can come early or late, no worries.  This is a large outdoor area and pets and children are welcome.  See you there!

Calling All Painters.  The Grief Place in Wenatchee needs volunteers to do some painting of its newly renovated space.  Contact Jim Huffman for details.  http://www.griefplace.org/

Jim also reports that the support group for the Sleepy Hollow fire victims continues with good attendance.  Jim is consulting with the Chelan Rotary as they plan for a similar support group for fire victims in that area.

Outdoor Report.  If Patty Rush asks you to go camping, just say no.  You had to attend the meeting to get this one.  Make sure you join us next Tuesday!

Keeping His Promise.  Club member, Craig Robertson, sports his daughter's jersey number after she scored her first goal as a Wenatchee Fire team member.  Go team!
