June 5, 2008 – Thirty-three Rotarians were present to hear about and see the Club’s WEB site as being developed by Rotarian Shawn Felty.  All who use the computer are asked to check out the site at www.rotary.siretesting.com to give feedback to Shawn and Mike Flock while the site is still in development.  Membership roster and information will be password protected, so directory information will not be available to any non-member who visits the site.  A great deal of effort has gone in to the site development and in the long run will be beneficial to the Club’s presence in the community.  Printed newsletters and calendar will still be available for those who do not use the computer.

Announcements: Selinsgrove Club’s Annual Chicken Barbeque is June 7, if you are among the 15 who have not yet returned money ($94) to Earl or Bob, please do so immediately.  This is the only way we will know how many halves can be sold to “walk-ups” on the day of the event.  Remember to show up at the times you’ve signed up to help. (Remember, if you haven’t sold your tickets, you’ve bought them.)*Rotary Foundation contributions due by June 30.*Little League tournaments/games are scheduled to occur June 28, 29 and July 5 at Rotary Field.  Club members are asked to volunteer in two hour shifts from noon to 6 on all thee days to operate the concession stand. This will be the Club’s way of thanking the Selinsgrove Area Little League for the materials used to update the field.**Starting July 10, the 08-09 Board will meet following the regular meeting on the 2nd Thursday of each month.
