Training Sessions--The district leadership institute will be held on September 15 at Dartmouth College.  It provides training in several levels from basic to advanced about resources and programs of Rotary.

 

Middlebury Action Fair--The college will hold its annual Action Fair on September 14 from 4:00 to 6:30 to offer students opportunities to participate in community-based programs.  Rotary hopes to attract some who would work on our service projects.

 

District Grants--A special training session is required for clubs wishing to apply for a district grant.  Maureen and David are thinking of attending the next one, in November.

 

Boy Scout Golf Tourney--Neil is helping to organize the Boy Scout golf tournament, named in honor of former Middlebury Rotarian, Henry Leach.  He is looking for sponsors and for volunteers to help.  It will be held at the Ralph Myhre course on October 5. 

 

Barbecue--Instead of a meeting on the fifth Wednesday of the month (August 29), we will be having a barbecue at Nancy's house on Lake Champlain.  It will be at 6:00 pm on Thursday, August 30.  Watch for an email with directions and other details.

 

Youth Programs--The meeting next week will be devoted to our youth programs--including RYLA and international student exchanges.  Buzz announced that our in-bound student from Brazil is arriving on Friday.

 

Friendship Exchange--Nancy and Lyn are organizing for the visit from a group of British Rotarians who are coming in October.  They have enough hosts, but they may need help with transportation.

 

Member Quiz Program--Juddy is collecting three facts about each member that the others may not know but that you would not mind having revealed.  He will then set up a quiz panel format so our hidden identities can be revealed.
