Brags, Confessions, Announcements 1/12/16

Mateo, our exchange student, joined us for breakfast.  He enjoys school, plays indoor soccer and is learning to ski.  Impressive!  He and another student are competing at the state level with DECA, an organization that prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management.

Kevin Love was named Rotarian of the Month for January.  Kevin joined Sunrise Rotary in 1992.  He left in 2013 for travels outside the area but returned in 2015.  He is a former Treasurer and is a Paul Harris Fellow.  He is a great asset to club members, arriving at our meetings early and staying late to make sure all necessary tasks are accomplished. Thank you Kevin!

The membership contest has started.  Check for an email from Jim Adamson to learn your teammates.  Teams can earn points for bringing guests to meetings or having them join.  The winning team will have a weekend at Sun Mountain Lodge.

Bowling Party with our scholars, Sunday, January 24th, Eastmont Lanes.  Don't forget to let Joan Wright know if you plan to attend.

Rotaract Club members from Wenatchee Valley College will join us next Tuesday for our meeting.

PJ in motion

• Dave Friemuth is a grandfather.  Jacob Christopher was born two months early and will be in the hospital for a bit but is otherwise healthy.  The family is doing well.
• PJ is back from Jackson Hole where he was made very happy with constant skiing.  He reported temperatures in the double digits below zero in the valley but warmer temps at the higher elevation due to inversion.  A good reason to be high all the time (at least in Jackson Hole.)  
• Brian Thorpe and his wife took a two week vacation on a small cruise ship touring the Caribbean.  It was a great time and he would do it again in a heartbeat.  (It was a lot warmer there than in Jackson Hole.)
• Joanne Rosenthal reminds us all to report our make-ups on the sign in sheet.  Thanks Joanne for your hard work to keep us organized.
