Hal Hodgins and Hank Ketcham are riding, and Tom Borgen is thinking about it. Give them support either directly or at http://courageclassic.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=1007574
Chuck Perry introduced the recipients of the Gig Harbor Rotary Foundation Mildred McCall Scholarships from Peninsula High School - Eliza Weeks (to WWU), Joel Radcliff (to U Idaho) and Alissa Miller (Brigham Young). Sue Bucholz Jensen, board member of the Foundation, mentioned that the foundation gives multiyear scholarships, and is greatly appreciated. Good work!

Stan Liebenberg gave his Rotary Minute for the Rotary Foundation to remind us that lots of money comes back for local District projects, and we have received a lot of it over the years.
Keith Harris reminded us that Flag Day will be celebrated at Skansi Park on June 15. Chairs will now be at a premium, so bring your own if you want to sit!
Keith also auctioned off tow items not taken at the Auction - a one year membership at the Sr. Citizens Group went to John Hopkins (for a client - John has a way to go to be a "senior".) and 3 months of a 6X10 Storage unit went to Pam Peterson Smith (and who doesn't know what a "Woodie" is?)
Dani is going camping with Juanita and Gary, and some other exchange students, so is looking for a tent (or 2). Call if you have one. She is still looking for a Prom Dress (hope she found one; Prom was Saturday!) She went to Krispy Kreme with Carina Pinch to discover one of our native foods. She spent last Saturday and Sunday (Mother's Day) at Vashon on Juanita's boat, and had a great time.
Scott Junge was finemaster, and Vicki Hogan used her no fine button to thank all the fine attorney's in the club.
Blaise Gorney and Joyce are in a choir out of Union, and will be performing at Avery Hall in NYC November 25! Still room in the Choir if you are interested.
Also for singers and listeners the The Tacoma Totem-Aires featuring Walt Paulson is performing tomorrow night at Pierce College Puyallup.
Pam Peterson and Lee Smith were married in Pismo Beach on May 5, and camped all the way up Hiway One in CA. But mummy bags Lee?
Gary Glein gets 10 free next week, and Hal Cline drew the white chip from 13, so didn't win $210.

There are two new web based options for Rotarians: E Clubs, and Aps for your iphone. E Clubs are web based meetings that you can attend for makeups as well as just extending your Rotary knowledge. Click on E Clubs to go to a website showing all of the international sites. You can select United States (hit search again) and get just the 8 US E Clubs. Also available are two aps for iphone, one from clubrunner, and one from Rotary. Either will find local clubs and meeting times, but the Clubrunner is really neat in that once you sign in (same sign in and password as for our club website) you have instant access to our member list and contact info, including pictures, and to all the stories on the main page. Just search for Rotary in your Ap Store Ap. Call or email me if you need help. Tim Williams, tim@tewilliamslaw.com, 253-591-7088. | | Posted on Feb 22, 2011

Bob Martin is the District 5020 Governor for the 2010-11 year. Bob has been a Rotarian since 1977 and has previously been Assistant Governor, on the District GSE committee, and has run the District Conference. He was President of the Gigi Harbor Club in 1989-90.He has retired so he can devote needed time to this important position. This of course is a really old post, since Bob has served his term and is now PAST DG. This is really a test of who reads the website. This is posted 10/12/2011, and the first person to call Tim Williams at 253-591-7088 will get a prize! (prize to be determined later)
