Next year we will be hosting Marlies Hofman, a young lady from Austria, and Simo Korpela, a young man from Finland. We are doing well with host families for Marlies but we still need help from our members in identifying potential host families for Simo. We'd prefer locations in the Breckenridge or Frisco areas, so that he has fairly close access to the high school and to the hockey arena in Breckenridge, as he has quite a passion for that sport. Typically our students stay with three families for about three months each, during the course of their school year here. It's a great opportunity to experience more of our big world, without even leaving home! Call Jim Brook to get more information 970-409-8995.

We had a great breakfast, hosted by Elks Lodge 2561, to honor and thank our donors and volunteers.  The Elks Lodge members have been instrumental in holding the Community Dinner to the original philosophy of serving dinner to anyone and everyone who comes in the door.  When there was some discussion of having the dinners need based, or asking participants to get vouchers from social services or FIRC, the lodge members said absolutely not.  If this is not a meal open to anyone and everyone then you have to find another place to hold it.  I am so grateful to them for not caving in to those who were afraid that somehow someone would get a meal that didn't "deserve" it.  Yea Elks!!!!!

 

Chef Marshall Helgeson, of Summit Medical Center, prepared Pasta Primavera for 330 (77 children).  As usual, it was well received.  Volunteers also came from St Anthony.  In addition to serving they had tables staffed with medical personnel to provide free consultation services to dinner participants.  We are always glad to have them come!

Special thanks, also, to Marcia Hannishin, who headed up the dinner while I was gone.

May 15 - Marcia Hannishin and crew cook, Frisco Elementary School staff serves
May 22 - Deb and crew cook, Synagogue of the Summit serves
May 29 - Deb and crew cook, DCC Bible Study volunteers
June 5 - Deb & crew cooks, SOS Outreach volunteers

Number of meals served to date: 46,812, 10,418 served to children

Any committee that is inviting guests to attend a regular Tuesday morning breakfast meeting should contact President Rolando Cuadrado, with a  head count one week prior so that he can insure there is an adequate amount of food ordered and tables set up to accomodate.

For all those on Fund Raising Committees and the Community Dinner committee please note that there is a new process to get invoices paid from the 501(c)3 accounts.  On our rotary web page under "Downloadables" you will find instructions and the payment voucher form.  Please adhere to the new policy so you don't experience any delays in payment to your vendors.

Make-Up Procedures are now posted on the club's home page in the bottom-right under Downloads.  Please take a look, and don't forget to report your make-ups to Secretary B (bjmanwaring@gmail.com)

We have 3 new & improved ways to communicate with club members...email blasts, the bulletin, and web forums.  Please read on for the details...

Effective January 1, 2011, Rotary will begin billing for dues per the bylaws of our organization which states "membership dues are to be paid quarterly in advance."  At the 12/21/10 borad meeting, the Board asked that I, your Treasurer, adhere to the "in advance" policy so that the club is not paying out Rotary expenses prior to the collection of dues.  In order to faciliate that, invoices need to go out 30 days prior to the new quarter so that everyone has time to make payment by, or before, the 1st day of the next new quarter. 

In the past, we've been sending the billing out at the beginning of each quarter.  In order to make this change, I am sending out the 3rd quarter (Jan -  Mar) invoice today, and they are due January 31st.  The 4th quarter (Apr - Jun) invoices will be emailed on March 1st, and those invoices will be due on March 30th.  After that, invoices will continue to be sent 30 days in advance of the quarter and will be due within 30 days.  Please make sure your dues are paid within 30 days of invoicing so that our club can continue to function with a positive cash flow.

Please remember...dues should always be mailed to PO Box 415, Frisco, CO 80443 or handed to the Sergeant of Arms at a meeting.  You should not hand them directly to the Treasurer.  If you travel and are unsure you'll be able to pay in time, please consider setting up automatic bill pay from your bank account.  Many of our members use this feature and it works great for both sides!  The amount of the inovice will not change during the year, so you can set it up once for payment on March 1st / June 1st / September 1st and December 1st and be all set!

If this new policy causes a hardship for you, please let me know and I will report it to the Board for discussion. 

Sincerely,

Michele Knight
