Our speaker at last week’s meeting was Organic Farmer
Ray Diggins (isn’t that the best name
for someone who farms?) who clarified what ‘organic’
really means as well as giving us useful information about where
we can obtain organic products in our area. Ray was also the
driving force behind the Thursday and Friday Night Markets,
which made it very easy for us to shop locally and get to know
the people who are growing our food.
This week’s program is the Program on Programs.
WHAT?? A small group of Rotarians (Cathy Wilcox-Barnes,
Mike Colantuono, Dixie Redfern,
George Rebane and Gil Gray)
have been weighing in on what types of programs our club should
provide and has put together our program schedule thus far.
The team decided it would be a good idea to hear from the club
and to bring more of the program responsibility TO the club
membership. So if you have ever wanted to wax poetic about the
quintessential program, don’t miss our meeting on September
20th! We are looking forward to your ideas about the kinds of
programs you would like.
Jock-ettes Crookston, Denney
and Kemp represented our club at the 13th Annual
Celebration of Life Triathlon by doing the
Walk/Run. Laura and friends actually did run; Gayle and I speed
walked (sort of). Our Assistant District Governor, Pamela
Yazell also did the Walk/Run – and she too did
run. George and Jo Ann Rebane
(a past participant) also were in attendance. It was a beautiful
sunny day for this great event.
Now is the time to bring forward your nominations for our Drew
Reynolds Scholarship – the scholarship established

to these questions and are making your contributions as you
can. Thank you!!
