While many Rotarians took interesting pictures at the Centennial luncheon, the Official Photo of the Club 13 Centennial is the outstanding group photo taken by Rotarian Jerry Crabtree. This historic photo will be seen in publications for decades.
Rotary Club 13 was organized May 15, 1910 and will be celebrating its Centennial through the calendar year 2010. Club 13 has a rich and long tradition of community leadership and service as well as outreach into Rotary International projects and in order to recognize the many people, events and projects, the Centennial Celebration will be a series of activities throughout the year.
The Centennial will begin on at the January 7, 2010, with a special Rotary luncheon program and outline of the year’s activities. Centennial merchandise will be available in January and throughout the year. Bi-weekly there will be history articles in the Buzzsaw and frequent interesting historical anecdotes from the podium.
This Rotary Youth Camp video is a compilation of experiences and testimonies from campers, their parents, guardians, Youth Camp staff and counselors. The underlying theme is that the Rotary Youth Camp is a place for disabled and disadvantaged children to come and feel “normal” for the short time they are here.
This summer our campers enjoyed our new comfort station, including state of the art showers, bathroom facilities and three washers and dryers. The new facility should last us a half-century. The total cost was $503K. We have raised $246K. The Hall Family Foundation has offered a $40K Topping Grant once we reach an additional $217K.
LIVE THREE WEEKS WITH A EUROPEAN HOST YOUTH, THEN THREE MORE WEEKS TOGETHER HERE Youths aged 15 to 19 apply, preferably by 12/31/09, to participate in a three week homestay exchange in FRANCE, GERMANY, UNITED KINGDOM, or SWEDEN. A departure date of June 28th, 2009 has tentatively been selected for the Americans.
After three weeks abroad the Americans and their new friends come to the U.S. On or about August 9th the Europeans return home. The American and European youths are carefully matched by age and interests by the European Rotary Youth Exchange officers.
