Installation dinner
We
had the best time at the Fresh Fish Company on Havana changing the guard at the
end of our 9th Rotary year and celebrating the accomplishments of our club with
our Rotary family and special guests, District Governor Mike and Treva
Klingbiel, as well as our own AG Steve Mast! Cindy handed off the gavel
to Margaret Ann injecting the final moments of her year of "FUN"
(Foundation with fellowship, Unique programs and service, Networking with new
members). Margaret Ann, in keeping with
the Rotary motto for this year "Peace through service", has given us
yet another way to think about peas!
We
welcomed Paul Andrus as a new club member.
We acknowledged the dedication of those who had perfect attendance this
year: David Addor, John Ahlenius, Mary Beth Brunston, Margaret Ann Uchner, Karl
vanEtten, Cindy Walters, and Tim Wilkerson (>50% of the club isn't too
shabby!). Although, those who were close
were not recognized formally, it is important to know that 3 other members
missed it by one meeting! We honored
Debra Jessop with the title of Rotarian of the year. We conferred a Paul Harris Fellowship on our
honorary member Gordon Close. It was a
wonderful evening and a great kick-off to the 2012-2013 Rotary year!

Group Study Exchange
A Rotary Foundation Program
Since 1965, the Group Study Exchange (GSE) program has provided inspiring vocational, educational, and cultural experiences for more than 70,000 men and women. This unique program targets young business and professional men and women between the ages of 25 & 40 in their initial years of professional life.
The Rotary Foundation provides travel grants for teams of participants to exchange visits between paired areas in different countries. For four to six weeks, team members study the host country’s institutions and ways of life, observe their own vocations as practiced abroad, develop personal and professional relationships, and exchange ideas.

Through the Avenue of Community Service, our club supports the efforts of the non-profit organization Colfax Community Network. Colfax Community Network advocates for and works on behalf of children and families residing in low-income, transient housing (primarily residential motels) along Colfax Avenue by providing information, services and programs to strengthen and improve family and community life. On the 4th Thursday of the month, CCN hosts a Family Night to help families living in Colfax motels feel connected to a caring community. Frequently, speakers are invited to talk about new programs and resources. Always, there are door prizes, games, good food and friendship. Through out the year AFRC supports the CCN's efforts by stocking the food pantry, providing personal hygiene products and sponsoring a Family Night.
