From the Board Meeting

District convention at Blue Mountain on October 14, 15, 16.

We will be having a booth at Applefest featuring pulled pork.

There is Rotary stuff all over town and we need to centralize our materials so we are planning on renting a storage space.

Angie gave us some preliminary budget numbers but is still waiting for all the committees to provide her with the tallies.

It was brought up that there are excessive emails. So please remember "do not drink and email" you could crash your computer.

Don H was happy that we all had a chance at winning the 50/50 draw because Terry had two tickets with the same numbers.

Denis was happy to have played tennis with a special guest and was delighted at the turnout.

Ron B just back from two weeks vacation.

Ted M finally got a good home for his misplaced dog.

Kevin A nice to see that there was a meeting with an agenda (for vocational services committee).

There are none this week.

Corey Prince

Corey Prince (L), Ryan Frank (C), and Wayne Routly (R)

Today we had Corey Prince give us a summary of his trip to the RYLA camp that he attended. Corey told us of the amazing experience that he had. There were many valuable skills and lessons that he took from the week. For Corey he thought that he may have been brought out of his shell. They did public speaking and leadership activities. This all contributed to his experience. All of the attendees met as strangers but left as friends. He has even made a friend for life in a person who was attending the course that was from Brazil. It goes to show the type of people that you meet in these programs.

The draw this week was for $300 ONLY. Brian B pulled the seven of spades, better luck next time!!! Remember you can't win if you don't buy a ticket. Good luck!

There was none this week.
