MEMBERSHIP MOMENT:
Consider hosting an Exchange student from a different county. This is a wonderful opportunity for a Rotarian family to have a young student in their home sharing cultures. If we involve our families in Rotary they will come to understand the opportunities that Rotary has to offer and they will understand your commitment to the organization. Education and involvement will make us better Rotarians and we will want to share in this unique
organization. What better way to world peace and understanding?

FITNESS PROGRAM NEWS
"I signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear loose fitting clothing. If I HAD any loose fitting clothing, I wouldn't have signed up in the first place".  SOUND FAMILIAR? If so then you will be happy to sign up for our Rotary Club Fitness Challenge.  Beginning July 1, 2010 we will be tracking our fitness progress on a per mile basis.  There are several ways to walk a mile: walk, run, bike, golf, tennis, exercise class, road
cleanup, and others. We will be assigning teams from our list of participants, you will need to encourage your team members so that your team will be the first to successfully reach the 20 mile goal. There will be a prize for the first team to reach 20 miles, then the first team to reach 100 miles. We will be passing around a sign up sheet at the next couple of meetings, if you are out of town and want to sign up please let Allan or Becky
know, or respond to this email and we will sign you up and let you know who your team members are. Let's get out there this summer and GET FIT!

MEMBERSHIP MOMENT: "I am a Rotarian because a dear old primary school headmaster sought me out as a young country newspaper editor and invited me to join the Rotary Club of Parkes, NSW, Australia, many years ago.  I have remained a Rotarian for 35 years because it did not take me long to realize that this unique vocationally based service organization provided the opportunity for ONE person to be part of an amazing humanitarian army doing special things in our world.  We heal the sick, care for the poor, provide basic literacy and numeracy skills, provide food and fresh water for the hungry, and  - in recent times - provide educational resources for a new breed of ʻpeace fightersʼ playing a major role in conflict resolution around our world.  I have great pride in Rotaryʼs ongoing mentoring of young people and dedication to lifting ethics in business, and I draw daily inspiration from the knowledge that Rotary International impacts 33,000 communities throughout our world EVERY DAY!"
PDG Bob Aitken
