What a terrific double bill program. First we got first hand experiences of our own President, past- president, and other board members who attended the 2006 Convention in Copenhagen/Malmo. Followed by our RotoAnglers.

Cliff set the stage by describing the Rotary Spirit that pervaded Scandinavia during the convention. Diane reported on the tour itself with passing comments about Robert's luggage and Edmee's shoes (which Edmee reports to be size 6-1/2). Edmee expressed the emotion she felt listening to the reports of Rotary projects and fellowship around the world. Robert reported that Rotary owned the town and left this parting message: register early for next year's convention in Salt Lake City.

Joe, Jerry, and Jim put on a nifty presentation including video of the first RotoAngler expedition to Graham Island giving us all a foretaste of the Fireside Chat to come. They even provided a video of the proverbial "...one that that got away." Four Way Test preserved.

There's no fellowship in an empty chair.
Your guests and visiting Rotarians help kindle the flame of fellowship

Bart White, guest of Jim White. Just graduated with degrees in economics and business and is looking for gainful employment. Bart will thank you, and I'm sure Jim and Elizabeth will thank you too for any helpful leads.

Edmee announced that we have a Chair for the International Avenue of Service. It is our past president Mr. Frank Kautzmann. Congratulation Frank!

We submitted our 2006-07 Rotary Foundation Matching Grants Application. If we get it, we should have $12,620 to fund the 2006-07 project in Punitaqui, Chile.

This month's Fireside Chat was held at Joe and Kay Germain's home to attest to the veracity of the fish stories we heard Tuesday morning. The fish was great and the fellowship superb. View the gallery below.

MEMBER OF THE WEEK--Paul Workman
by Dennis Ortwein

He's a feel good guy. Who would have thought that his avocation would be difficult to distinguish from his vocation. Yes, this big affable Texan also shook hands in Colorado and Utah before pursuing a public relations degree at Utah State. Dreams of being the next Jon Ralston, Art Linkletter or Al Gore were out there. When he entered the room, it lit up. Things happened, one of which was a part-time bank job. Now, four banks later Paul combines his financial wizardry with his inimitable people skills to bring human resources and collateral assets together for the benefit of his clients. Here at Rotary he lights up the room, comes up with good ideas, and knows how to make helpful connections for the club. One must suspect that wife Bonnie and four sons are as appreciative of Paul as we Rotarians are. Have you ever heard Bonnie sing, "You Light Up My Life?"
