Rotary District 6760             Lead The Way !

9/13/2006

Subscriber, has it already been two weeks?  Yes it has!  We've been so busy posting the latest news at our companion website, www.RotaryBlast.com, we've lost track of time.   If you haven't seen it yet, you should!  We've set it up so our clubs can post information directly and instantly (after logging in), for the entire District -- and world to see!  I think we'll soon be seeing a lot of club events, fundraisers, projects, and announcements there.  And don't forget DG Frazer's blog, now also on the District Website, where you can "borrow" ideas from other clubs to use in your club.  -- Ken Ivey


 Governor's Notes
Freda and Slick Frazer
I have just been made aware of a project sponsored by the new Rotary Club in Costa Mesa, California. They are soliciting the help of Rotary Clubs throughout the nation to help them honor the children of fallen soldiers in early December of this year. Their plan is to bring the child(ren) and surviving parent or guardian to Orange County, California, for a holiday party and trip to Disneyland. I thought your club might be interested in participating in this innovative program. For more info, go to www.snowballexpress.org.  If you do decide to participate, please let me know as soon as possible. I have been contacted by a company in Nashville that is interested in lending support to the Snowball Express project.....and there might be others.

LATE BREAKING NEWS
 
Change of inbound dates for RFE:
 
Our contact and D9470 (Western Australia) Friendship Exchange Officer Roy Hamilton tells me their group now has elected to make the trip to D6760 in April 2007. Specifically, we expect the group of approximately 9 couples and 2 singles to arrive April 15 or 16, 2007 in Nashville. We believe the duration will be approximately two week, which we will split evenly between Middle and West TN.
 
More later as plans are finalized during our outbound trip to WA in Oct. 2006.
