The drivers for the week, Merle Anderson, Serge Pasheev, Ken Tank, Rich Golinghorst, Bob Bainter, Paul Kalainoff & Deb Peterson, picked up the team in Grinnell, dropped them off in Grand View and shuttled them to assorted activities & locations through out the week. Thanks also to Mary Ellen Chamberlin for the tour of Davenport and lunch at Rhythm City Casino. To Lisa and John Maxwell for leading an all day farm tour and feeding the team and host families. To Elza and Teri Sager for the musical entertainment at Maxwell’s farm. To Brad Burt for taking Marcus & Matthew to a Chicago Cub’s baseball game. To Nancy Kime for taking Glenys, Kerrie & Cindy jewelry shopping. To the Connolly & Mulch Families for taking the girls to Dubuque site seeing and shopping. To Steve Suiter for arranging the Farewell Dinner at the Davenport Country Club. To officers Chuck Briegel and Charlie Jones for the warm welcome to the team at the Machine Shed. AND MOST OF ALL to the chairman of the committee, Paul Kalainoff for all his hard work and planning, assisted by committee members, Bob & Ann Bainter, Fred Mulch, Nancy Kime and Susan Kalainoff. It was truly a wonderful experience for all involved!
SPECIAL PAUL HARRIS RECOGNITION DAY ON
MAY 7, 2010
Jan Trimble, Chair of the New Ideas Committee and Teresa Paper, Chair of the Foundation Committee, with help and ideas from Kellie Esters, are planning a special recognition of everyone in the club whom has a Paul Harris designation. The meeting will have a special speaker from the Chicago International office. Everyone is asked to wear their Paul Harris pins and medallions in celebration of this event. Spouses and others are invited, especially if they have a Paul Harris designation, also. Several people will receive Paul Harris gifts that day, so please be sure to sign up on the Blue sheets at the meetings on April 23 & 30. We will be meeting in the pool area of the Steeplegate that day and need to know how many to plan for. What is the Paul Harris Society? The Paul Harris Society is a special district recognition program designed for Rotarians who wish to support The Rotary Foundation in a more substantial way. The PHS recognizes Rotarians and friends when they have contributed $1000 to the Annual Programs Fund, Polio Plus, Polio Plus Partners or the Humanitarian Grants Program. The first PHS was established in 1998 in District 5340 (California) and gained momentum and spread to districts throughout the world. The trustees of The Rotary Foundation officially approved the PHS as a district-administered recognition program, effective July 1, 2006.
