May 21 Meeting Notes and Photos


Sign painting party at PJs.   So much rain that Milt almost didn't get his Miata up a couple of the muddy hills heading home.
Thanks to PJ, Kevin, Milt, Alan, and Mansour for building and painting over 20 new road signs for the bike ride.  Carol & Jim got there in time to wash the rollers.  Thanks to Cookie and PJ for providing a great barbecue dinner.

The Century Bike Ride is coming June 1.  Next week's' meeting will be dedicated to final preparation for the ride.  We hope everyone is signed up to help that weekend.

The Applesox team is looking for player host families from June 1 to mid-August.  Between games and practices, the boys' time in the homes are limited.  Free tickets to the games.  Contact Pete Blanksma if you are interested.

About 12 members attended the board retreat last Saturday, and had lots of ideas discussion.  Thanks to John and Betsy, and to Taro for lunch.

Thursday, May 30, at 2:00 will be the planting of our area Rotary Peace Pole, and a big tree in Rotary Park.  This will emphasize District Governor Sherry Chamberlain's desire to have a peace pole and something that helps preserve the environment (tree planting) in every community in the district.

We received a thank you from the Foothills Robotics Teams for our contribution to help them get to the world championships.

The club survey on our new meeting place and food service indicated a very good response.
     Pybus meeting room = 9.5 out of 10
     Food service = 8 out of 10 (any issues are being addressed)

Joseph went to New York with Kristin Holmberg for 4 days, and had a great time.  He shared some of the sites they took in.

Robin sold Rotary flags to members so we can "#wave the Rotary flag" on Twitter wherever we travel in the world.  Let's see if we can get some attention on Rotary as we have fun traveling.  Be looking for tweets from Germany soon.











Wayne showed us the plaid Rotary vests our district ordered. Most will be worn in Germany at the Hamburg Rotary International Convention. Modeled by Robin.


Brags & Confessions

Wayne helped bottle wine at Malaga Springs Winery last Saturday.

Ronin cut down and hauled a 22-year-old plum tree out of their yard, and is sore, but surviving.  She and Richard leave Thursday for Germany (tour and RI Convention).

Wayne and Taro (with spouses) leave for Germany next Thursday.
