Announcements

John McDarment has volunteered to take on the secretary role for our club.  Thanks John.

Lucas is leaving Sunday, so give him a call or take home to coffee before he leaves (he's staying with Erin).  He has been an outstanding ambassador for France, and a great addition to our club this year. Now we prepare for Elza Domene, our new youth exchange student from Brazil.  Thanks to Bryan, Earl, and Joel for hosting this coming year.

Joan Wright is moving to the Tri-Cities this week.  We will miss her.  The club has bestowed the title and position of "Honorary Member" to our club.  Joan has been with the club nearly 30 years, and spearheaded the Challenge Scholar program for all those years.

Wayne gave an update on the new standard club constitution and bylaws, which our club has adopted with some changes.  Our Board approved them, and the club voted to accept them at today's meeting.

Brags & Confessions

Earl's daughter got married this past weekend.  He donated what was left of the wedding budget to the club ($21).
Mike & Leslie are back from a camping trip to Spirit Lake, ID.  Mike also went motorcycling to Montana.
Jill's' grandson is here and she put him to work in the orchard (fun vacation).
Jim A went to speak at the Westbank RC 40th anniversary in Kelowna.  His dad chartered the club when he was DG.  Unfortunately, the club is folding after 40 years of service to the West Kelowna community.

July Birthdays - Mansour Ravassipour, David Barshes, Robin DeRock

July Anniversaries - Alice Thompson (Mitch), Patty Rush (Heath), Joel McDonald (Brett), Jason Underwood (Kelly)

Program

Erin ran her first meeting, and laid out some of her thoughts for the year.  She also gave a rundown on the committees, listing the chairs, and asking for sign-ups.  If you missed the meeting, please sign up for a committee or two.  This is where the real work of our club gets done.
