 Lauren DeGroot, student at Webster Groves High School, was the winner of the club’s 2010 Four-Way Test Essay. Lauren visited the club to present her essay, and receive her cash prize from club president, Dick Sant. Lauren’s essay was insightful, personal, and funny sharing lessons and influences in her life that align with the commitments in Rotary’s four-way test: is it the truth, fair, will it build goodwill & friendships, and is it beneficial to all. | |
 Here they are: Dick Sant, Brian Corrigan, Frank Bloemke, and Mike Oppermann. It was a fun evening beginning with the duck races, and ending in a decisive victory set in motion by Frank Bloemke's overwehlming start. Visit the Photo Journal for more pictures of the meet and Community Days parade.

Did you know that on many mornings, Rotarian Bob Smutz circles the track at Moss Field 30 times? That is more than seven miles and more than three and a half times longer than the parade route for the Webster Groves parade.
"Very interesting, but what does Bob Smutz walking in a circle have to do with me," you ask? Actually, it's an oval, but thanks for asking.
The Pancake Festival Special Sub-Committee on parades is putting the finishing touches on our parade day preparations and we are looking for Rotarian, their friends, and family members who are willing to participate. | |
As another Rotary year comes to a close, I believe a recap of accomplishments is appropriate. A look back on what we have done in this Rotary year with pride. The theme for this year, "The Future of Rotary is in Your Hands", signified a call to action on the part of all club members to shape the future of their club, become more involved in club committees and activities as well as recruit new members. | |
Dick and his beautiful wife Katy have been enjoying the Rotary International Conference in Montreal. Check out the pictures on the Photo Journals link at the right of: Dick in front of the conference center, Katy with Tom Henderson who founded ShelterBox and Dick at a banquet with Ray Klingensmith in the background. | |
The installation dinner was a delightful affair. The evening began at Trattoria Branica in the Woodbine Center in Kirkwood with a reception at 6:30pm and dinner at 7:30 followed by the installation program. Our new officers are installed, and the old are relieved. Click on this 2010-11 Installation Dinner Slide Show link for a slide show of the evening. | |
Dear Fellow Rotarians,
I am very excited about how the duck races are going. The duck races will consist of three parts: the duck races, the swim challenge, and the kids' fun meet. We have five major sponsors for the evening: Schaefer Autobody, Total Access Urgent Care, Commerce Bank, Sant Automotive, and The Hub Bicycle Shop. The first four are each paying $500; the Hub Bicycle Shop is donating $500 in prizes. | |
You danced to the rhythms of Shaggy Sounds at the beautiful Orlando Garden Venetian Ballroom and raised $4,779.00. Our international dinner dance and charity auction proceeds benefit Rotary charitable organizations and scholarship funds. Congratulations and many thanks to the hard work of our dance committee. | |
The Rotary Club of Webster Groves has selected the Jim Schoemehl 5K Run for its first annual ARK award. The award is given to a Webster Groves based non-profit group for a random act of kindness, and includes a $1,000 matching grant. | |
Ok, time for another update! First of all, thank you so much for the money for transportation to and from Kiruna. The camp was absolutely amazing and I cannot thank you enough for your generosity in both this and the rest of the things you do for Rotary Youth Exchange. | |
 Steffi and Ray shared about themselves. We learned about their families, friends, and experiences here and at home. Seth Langton introduced them each with the stories of their arrival, and the extraodinary impression they have made at the high school as ambassadors for Rotary Youth Exchange. They prepared Powerpoint presentations including photos and statistics, and followed up by answering questions. Thank you Steffi and Ray, and enjoy your summer!
