Tuesday's meeting - July 26

Program
Alan Walker, Lisa Parks, and Shilo Schauer gave a presentation on "Our Valley What's Next".  They talked about the planning process the group went through, and all the people involved in developing future action plans.  The process is continuing, and input from the public is always welcome.  Our city was awarded $50,000 on the way to becoming one of 15 finalists in the nation.

Announcements 
Joan Wright introduced Lindsey Wapato, one of our challenge scholars who is back from her first year at Central Washington University (3.5 GPA).  She is working two jobs this summer, and enjoys rock climbing in her free time.

Carol announced that rooms for the Rotary International Convention in Atlanta (June 10-14) are filling up fast.  Our area will be getting a block of rooms, but we need to let Liz Saunders of the Leavenworth Club know by Friday of you might be going.  Carol has her contact information (or use the area directory).  You can get information on the convention at http://www.riconvention.org/.

We had a short discussion about having, or not having, an invocation at the start of our meetings. This topic will be discussed and voted on by the Board at it's August 8 meeting.  If you want to have input, you can attend the Board meeting, or put your thoughts in writing and get it to any of the Board members before August 10.  Board members are always listed on the bottom, right hand column in the blog.
