CHANGING OF THE GUARD: Welcome New District Governor Claire Little! Below is an excerpt from her Online Newsletter.  To read more please go to: http://district5110.org/uploads/Newsletter

"Good morning Generators and welcome to our 2010-2011 Rotary year! It is a privilege and pleasure to serve as your district governor. Rotary provides us with many opportunities to grow personally and  professionally by engaging us in humanitarian service in our community and our world. This year our emphasis is to promote continuity and focus on projects that address the needs listed in Rotaryʼs six areas of focus. I encourage clubs to be creative and to work collaboratively to produce stronger, sustainable outcomes.

"Building Communities--Bridging Continents", our 2010-2011 theme, really fits a strategic vision for all Rotary districts. It is at the club level that Rotarians are "Building Communities." Itʼs through this community involvement that we attract members to Rotary. Focusing equally on the second part of the theme "Bridging Continents" will allow District 5110 clubs to reach higher levels of international service."

TRAIL CLEANUP
About 20 some years ago our Rotary Club built a Fitness Trail in the woods above Buffington City Park. Ray Rediske was the spark plug that kept the trail in shape. Since Ray's passing the trail has become a "jungle" and reflects on Gold Beach Rotary. The Party at the Park is coming up soon and we need to make the trail walkable again.

On Saturday, July 10 those who are willing and able will meet in the east parking lot and tackle
the job from 9 a.m.until noon. If we have enough help, we should get it cleared and usable and
some of the fitness stations can be taken care of later. If you can't come the full three hours, every
bit you can spare will be appreciated. Tools needed include heavy duty mowing machines,(not regular lawn mowers) heavy duty weed whackers, gas powered hedge shears, pruning shears, machetes, hay forks, and steel rakes. A DR weed and brush mower would be great. I have a sickle bar mower and gas powered shears we can use.Let's get it done so we can still be proud to have our Rotary name on the trail.

MEMBERSHIP MOMENT: The Committee of Bryan Little, Gloria Eide, and Mary Stansell would like to extend their thanks to the following Rotarians who assisted with the Rotary Booth at the Party at the Port. Peter and MaryAnn, Gary Saks, Dave Little, Mark Sayler, BJ and Don Martin, Corey Bard, Becky Atherton, Amber Hughes, and Jeni Meyer.

MEMBERSHIP MOMENT: As the Rotary year draws to a close thank your President, Board and all committee members for a job well done. Just because they are leaders doesn't mean that they don't like to be recognized for all the time and effort put in during the past year.  Just say thanks!

FITNESS PROGRAM NEWS
Are you up for the challenge? Miles are accumulating, challenges are being drawn. If you have any questions about how your fitness routine measures up please ask the Fitness Chairs, Allan, Becky or Mary. Let's see how fit we can make our club.

After much discussion, and a bit of argument I think we have decided to how we will be tracking our miles. At first we thought that 20 miles per team would win a prize...well, then several individuals realized how they could do 20 miles in a week that did not seem fair to other teams and this would not make it a Team Endeavor. So the Teams will have to come up with 100 miles for the first prize.
Team members need to set their own personal goals, please don't let your team members down. If you signed up and do not want to make the commitment then let your team members know. There are some great team names out there...have you turned yours in yet?
