♦ PRESIDENT CHRISTA reported that $251.45 was raised by eating at Applebee's last week. What an easy way to raise funds for our projects!

♦ From JACQUELINE COONEY, President of Rotaract: "We have decided on the "Bowl for Kids Sake" fundraiser (benefiting Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Lafayette) for our Rotary/Rotaract Social. The tournament will be on March 6th in the Purdue Union Rack and Roll Bowling Alley. I think it will be a lot of fun and I know we are all excited to finally meet some Rotarians! As of right now the time is TBA but I will let you know as soon as I find out. There is a parking garage right next to the Union, which is free on weekends, and has an underground tunnel which connects directly to the entrance of the bowling alley. The Rotarians may either get five people together or if someone can send me a list of who all is participating I can put together teams. Personally I would prefer if I just got a list of all participating so that I can mix and match teams, that way the Rotarians and Rotaractors can bowl with each other and have time to socialize together."
