♦ ROB NOLL announced that an information meeting for Rotary Youth Exchange will take place in Carmel High School on Thursday, September 17. This session is for interested students and their parents to learn more about RYE and whether or not it is the program for them. It is not a commitment, just a chance to learn more about the Program. RYE is for students ages 16 - 18, typically sophomores applying for their junior year abroad. It is a full academic year in another country. You will live in a host home and attend a local high school. It is the best program of its kind, and one of the least expensive programs in existence. This is a Rotary Program where our own kids or grand kids can participate.

♦ A farewell party for Dan Guildenbacher is planned for Wednesday, September 16th from 5-6:30 at the Habitat for Humanity office. It will be an open house format. No agenda - just food and chit-chat. All Rotarians involved with Gus Macker the past three years appreciate Dan's hard work and have the opportunity to send him off to Germany with best wishes.

♦ Food for the Christmas Backpacks is accepted every week. Please bring your contribution "early and often"!

♦ Our attendance computer died. If you have an old one able to operate an Excel program that you are no longer using, please contact JANE.
