May 7 meeting

Linda Haglund, Chair of the AB Youth Parade, was here to thank us for helping with being parade marshals along the route two Saturdays ago, and for the past ten years.

District Conference in Kamloops was a success.  Wayne and Robin gave us some of the highlights.  Included were a couple awards for our club and its members.  We were recognized for our contribution to the Hippo Roller project, which brought small water tanks that can be rolled to remote villages.
Wayne was recognized for exceptional and active service as district chair for promoting the International Convention in Hamburg.
Carol was recognized for exceptional and active service as an Assistant Governor for the past three years.


Craig Reese was our club's recipient of the "Be the Inspiration Award", given for efforts in peace and/or environmental concerns.  He has been involved with running Sister Connections in Burundi, and getting our club involved as well.










Thanks to Taro and son, and John Mc for parking cars during the parade last Saturday.  Their efforts raised $260 for our club.

Wayne passed around signup sheets for this summer's concerts at the Gorge.  There are several concerts we can work, and money goes to the club.

May 16 will be a sign building and painting party for the bike ride at PJ's home from 4:00-7:00.  Directions to come later.

May 18 is a Board retreat at Ridgeline Graphics.  Anyone can attend, but let Taro know so he can get enough food.  The retreat starts at 7:30, and should be done at noon.

Tuesday, May 21, is the next bike ride meeting - 5:30 at Bob's Classic in Wenatchee.

Lots of people with Brags & Confessions (mostly happy people sharing good things).  If you weren't there, you missed so many good ones.  Next week will be more of the same I'm sure.
