Announcements
Wayne Massing thanked all the volunteers who worked at The Gorge this weekend, selling beers at the Watershed Concert. These Wenatchee Sunrise Rotarian volunteers spent a collective 161 hours: Taro Masuda, Erik Holmberg, PJ Jones, Robin DeRock, Kathleen McNalty, David Barshes, John Schapman, and Wayne & Karen Massing. They are shining examples of Rotary's motto "Service Above Self".
The next concert where we are volunteering is the Dave Matthews Band on Friday, Aug. 30th, Saturday, Aug. 31st, and Sunday Sept. 1st (Labor Day Weekend). Volunteers are still needed for this concert. Each day's volunteer work is only one shift (unlike Watershed, which was 2 shifts). If you're interested, please contact Wayne Massing (wkmassing@nwi.net) prior to 3 pm this Friday, Aug. 9th. We have to submit the number of volunteers from each of 4 clubs to The Gorge early for location assignments.
PJ Jones announced that there will be a BBQ at Tom Utigard's orchard 10 miles North of Wenatchee on Hwy. 97A, on Sunday, Aug. 18th from Noon to about 4 pm. This is to welcome our new inbound exchange student Adele from Switzerland, and her Wenatchee host family. More details next week on what to bring.
John McDarment said the dedication of the second picnic shelter at Rotary Park on Western Avenue in Wenatchee will be Wed., Aug. 7th at 6 p.m.. Please plan to be there!
Kathleen McNalty asked the group in an ad hoc survey what were some of the reasons that they could not volunteer for selling beer at The Gorge Amphitheater. Some of the answers were: family or business travel, vacation, the heat, too long of a drive at night, and may not support the Rotary mission.

RP Jones asked for donations to the Saddle Rock Evangelical Presbyterian Church is collecting funds to clothe school children in the community this school year. For a $25 donation, the child receives a pair of pants, 2 shirts, socks and a pair of shoes. At today's meeting, $450 was collected for club members. The Board of Directors will decide if the club can match those funds!
Craig Reese leaves for his annual volunteer trip to Burundi. He requested an old laptop computer (memory scrubbed clean!) to take with him. The school where he volunteers needs a replacement computer because theirs crashed. Please contact Craig if you can help (craigreese12@gmail.com or 509-679-3281) before he leaves Thursday (tomorrow!).
