ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Lauren gave a few Wiffle updates: $13,100 in sponsorships (more than last year!), new Family Fun Fest activities: picture boards, raffles given away on the hour, Rotary Shelter Box, and one lucky Rotarian in a strawberry costume. You can still help: volunteer day-of, solicit Corporate Challenge prizes, hang posters, and let Lauren know if you have a pop-up tent we can use for the day. Lauren also thanked James for all his hard work on the poster design; they came out great!

SPEAKER(S):
Evan Bates shared with us the process of becoming an Eagle Scout. First an application must be submitted outlining the project. This process is extremely tedious and is not as simple as it once was. Once approved, Evan had to solicit local businesses and organizations for donations, both monetary and materials in order to complete the project. Evan held a car wash to raise funds and his church also donated a lot of money towards his project. His project was to re-vamp our club's welcome sign on route 211. Greg Jaloszynski helped Evan tremendously with the design and excavation of the site. Our members also helped build the wall and plant the plants. Our club also donated money towards the project. Evan enjoyed the whole process and learned a lot about being a leader including speaking in front of a crowd and delegating.
