So, who are you going to vote for November? Don't know yet?
Kurt Schley, President of Franciscan's St. Anthony, went in-depth at our meeting today to explain how, as far as the "new normal" in healthcare is concerned, it really won't matter!
As incredible as that sounds, it seems to be true based on his presentation today at our Rotary. Kurt gave us a very good overview of how health care reform and the Accountable Care Act are going to impact our economy, and shared some insightful observations on how the problems in health care could be approached.
A great program today!! | | Posted by Patrick L. Williams on Sep 25, 2012
If you didn't come to today's meeting, you really missed out! Tim Holmes and Tommy Gores shared some insights from their respective industries.
Who knew that Tommy was actually responsible for rescuing vocational schools from fiscal disaster?
And Tim was a wealth of practical information about chiropractic...and shared a little bit about wooing Heidi, too!

If you missed today's meeting, you missed a lot of great information about Rotary Foundation, its impact on peoples lives, the changes in Foundation programs, and the reason why its so important that every Rotarian contributes every year to the Foundation.
Have you made your $100 donation this year? If not, ask Tom Brown to help you get it done. | | Posted by Patrick L. Williams on Jul 31, 2012

During our July 24 meeting, Scott Hauter shared his story of how he turned his baseball obsession into another career with the Tacoma Rainiers and Seattle Mariners.....and how $200 worth of baseball cards netted him $10,000!! (Kinda makes you wish you still had YOUR baseball cards from long ago, doesn't it?) | | Posted by Patrick L. Williams on Jul 17, 2012
At the July 17 meeting, President Paul VanWinkle bestowed a special commemorative pin to Rotarian Les Hooper for his efforts to grow membership in our Rotary.

Next week's collection will go to the Peninsula Food Bank. They need all types of non-perishable food, soap and other personal hygene products and cash to fill in what is most needed. Thanking you in advance. |
