When I went to do this weeks recap I found I must have forgot to hit the "send" button on last weeks so I sent it out today.  It does have directions to the picnic in case you need them.
 
Our meeting on the 27th  included the following announcements:
 
Dave Buchan, Susan Macek's husband  told us of an opportunity to help the "Veggie Races" at Hedlins Farms on and before October 3rd.  Dave was looking for volunteers to make wheels beforehand and people to work on Oct 3rd.  I can assure you it is a fun time.
 
Louise Eden told us there would be a meeting at the La Conner Food Bank on September 14 at 12:00 NOON to find out what opportunities there are for us to help this very worthy cause.  Come and see where we can help.
 
The picnic is next week, Monday August 3rd at 5:30 at Don Bakken's daughter's home on Big Lake.  Directions are in recap from last week.  Everyone is invited.
 
On August 31st we are planning a Cruise out of Anacortes on Island Adventures.   The Fidalgo Club and possibly the Anacortes Noon club will be joining us.  It begins at 5:00 PM, bring an appetizer and beverage.  We will have sign up sheet at August 10th meeting and the cost will depend upon the number of people who sign up (Hopefully $25 per person, maximum $35)
 
Don't forget if you signed up to sell hamburgers, etc at the Car Show August 1st. .. Jeanie, Dave Rapella  and Karen are coordinating this event.  It is an easy and fun way to get together.
 
Lee brought us up to date on the District Survey on your satisfaction with Rotary. Our club
had a high degree of satisfaction with most items in the survey.
 
And, lastly but definitely not least was our very interesting and informing speaker, local author William Dietrich, who writes fiction and non-fiction in a broad spectrum of history. His books are available at Watermark Books in Anacortes
 
See you all at the picnic on August 3rd.
