o We have moved our Group Study Exchange team selection back two weeks to allow for more applicants. Please notify local Rotarians to ask them to contact business leaders, university and college instructors, and others who would benefit by participation in the Group Study Exchange. The GSE brochure is attached for additional information. Group Study Exchange Team Member -- Candidates proposed by local Rotary Clubs (they may not be members or have a relative who is a member of Rotary) must be between 25-40 years old and either work or live in our district. The travel dates for our team's visit will be to leave Springfield, Illinois, for Nigeria on Monday, May 17, and leave from Lagos, Nigeria for home Monday, June 14, 2010. Need to let them know no later than March 3, 2010.
o Hygiene Kits for Haiti - Update - Learned not just about charity, but about efficiency and patience. Done in about an hour and a half. Thanks to everyone who came out to help. 
o Valentine's Dinner Update - Thanks Holli, Wayne and Bill for organizing and writing questions. Couple were Lammers (Julie didn't know til they went on stage), Donnellys, Luitjohans and Whittens. It was a close call, but the tie breaking question of how many TVs are in your house, put the Whittens in the lead.
*Mark Korte is looking for a 'co-chair' for the golf tourney, if anyone is interested. |

PROGRAM

Brian Rinderer
Terry Leitschuh introduced Brian Rinderer, a local farmer and district sales manager for Agrigold. He talked aobut how farming has changed through technology. The things that have changed the most are the cell phone, computers, auto steering, VRT/soil application and GPS. It was very interesting and we learned in the farming industry....CORN IS KING. |
