~~BUSINESS MEETING~~
President Kevin reported that, at a FAB 5
presidents meeting recently, the annual dues of
our five local clubs were discussed. Our dues of
$150 (with a suggested $100 donation to the
Rotary Foundation) are the lowest of the five
clubs. Kevin also said that with 29 members we
are the smallest of the clubs.
Kevin also reviewed the status of our all-access
playground project. We have general support of
the Parks and Recreation Department. The
project was discussed at Wednesdays Town
council meeting. There are some issues around
the location of the playground but the council is
also in support of the project.
The club has been contributing to the St. Marys
Scholarship fund for around thirty years. The
value of our donations over that time are more
than $87 thousand.
~~PROGRAM~~
Our speaker today, Mary Volmer, was introduced
by Debbie Roessler. Mary is on the faculty at St.
Marys College where she earned a MFA in
Creative Writing. She was an Ambassadorial
Scholar at the University of Wales where she
earned a Masters Degree. Mary has authored two
novels, Crown of Dust, and her latest work which
she discussed today, Reliance, Illinois.
Mary was the Faculty Advisor for our local Interact
Club on campus. She delivered a thank you note
from recent graduate and former Rotaract
President, Valerie Ettenhofer.
