Congratulations to Bob Fell who was presented with the Rotary International "Avenues of Service Citation" by Past President, Susan Thomas. Bob was honored due to his outstanding achievements in the Avenues of Service - Club Service, Vocational Service, Community Service, International Service and Youth Service. Thank you for your continued service as you participate in Rotary Readers, take photos, write public relations articles, help with Christmas Tree Recycling, collect computers in the 'Drive for Drives", support the Rotary Foundation as a Multiple Paul Harris Fellow +3, support and host Youth Exchange students and numerous other service projects as a West Rotary club member.
The Club’s award-winning Rotary Readers program is in action again. That’s the program where members give an hour a week to help develop reading skills with grade school students one-on-one. You are invited to become a Rotary Reader. Why? Three quick reasons: you will enjoy meeting and working with a couple of kids who need your help; studies show children who can’t read well in second grade will almost certainly drop out of school and cost you a lot of tax dollars, and Skinner Magnet Center is our adopt-a-school partner and they are looking for help and support from our club.
Interested? Contact Bob Fell (robertfell68@gmail.com) or Vickie Backman (vbackman@cox.net) and we will set up contact with the school. Typically, readers spend an hour and work with two students each visit. The visits can be weekly or bi-weekly (or whatever your schedule allows), typically on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays during school hours.

Gretchen Radler, Vocational Service Committee Chair, will be contacting members to schedule a vocational talk. We would like to schedule two vocational talks each month. Your talk should be 2-3 minutes in length and will give you an opportunity to share information about your profession, yourself and your family. Please say yes when asked to schedule your vocational talk. We look forward to learning more about our fellow Rotarians.

POLIO ERADICATION – We are asking you to donate $32 during the month your birthday is recognized. The District has set $32 per person as a giving goal for PolioPlus.

Your donation can help "End Polio Now."
