♦ President Elect and Program Chair, DICK RAHDERT, reminded us that the combined service club Coaches Luncheon will be August 25th. If members have suggestions for programs, please contact him.

♦ TOM MORAN asked members to seriously consider being a team sponsor ($124) for the Gus Macker Tournament. To make this tournament a success all of us are going to have to pitch in. The $124 is tax deductible if your check is made payable to the Lafayette Rotary Club Foundation. It does not qualify for Golden Service recognition.

♦ TERRY WEST, Ambassadorial Scholar committee chair, announced that Eu Park from South Korea is the inbound scholar studying mathematics. TERRY expects her to be in attendance at our meeting in two weeks.

Mindy Deno, sponsored by JIM HANKS, and Zach Brown, sponsored by ROB GALBRAITH, have been approved for membership. If there are no objections, they will be introduced soon.

Thanks to DAVE LANDGREBE, directories are available at the back table. Be sure to pick up yours.
