If there was ever any doubt why our  club supports young people in our community, these three students certainly eliminated that doubt.  The three were very different, but all very poised and clear about what kind of future they wanted. 

 

BIG WINNERS at the Electronic Business Machines Fireside were 1) Tammy Dunn, 2) Greg Thode, 3) Mary Toews, and 4) Ralph  Quass.  All this was reported by Past President Dick Schlosser who also noted that the firm donaged $300 to the Everett Rotary Youth  Foundation for the 29  club  members who  attended. WOWZER!!

 

Program – Introduced by Jeff Cornish covered both our own club website – EVROTARY.ORG, and

The Rotary International website: Rotary.org.  Members were asked to bring their iphones, ipads, and

the  like.  (Some member devices turned out to be more robust than others.)  Then Judi Edwards and

Marc Baker led the club through a guided tour of how to find information, and how  to update your own

 information.  A good program – which  undoubtedly answered a multitude of  questions.

 

Raffle Winners – Always loads of anticipation for the fabulous prizes  in the  drawing – and today

the winners were Randy Hansen, Paul Stoot, and Steve Ellis. 

 

 

Finally – members were reminded to sign the card for family of the late John “Hoppy” Hopkins.  Hoppy was a long-time member, NW Mutual Life insurance agent, Colgate grad, Navy Vet.
