Opportunity for Rotaract to volunteer in upcoming Rotary Golf Tournament:

To all,
We have been invited by Claudia to participate in the Rotary Golf Tournament. Have a look at what she wrote:

This event should be pretty nice and a good way for Rotaract to meet
Rotarians.

Rotary needs volunteers the entire day of September 15th, in 2-hour blocks for
the Rotary Annual Golf Tournament to be held at the Country Club. The tournament
is an all day event (so they need help after 4 pm also). If you think you can
put two hours (any two hours) sometime that day, please send me your full name
and a contact number. The person in charge of scheduling will contact you by
phone. Thank you. Claudia (gonzalez@ohiou.edu)


Thanks, Verne

Welcome!

Welcome to the Athens Rotaract Blog. I hope that this will allow all of us to communicate and share ideas for service. We had a successful meeting last night where we discussed meeting times, and opportunities to volunteer as well as the BLOG! 

Quickly we have two events to tell you all about.... 

First: 
This Saturday the 16th (thats right tomorrow) there is a Chicken B-B-Q at the Lottridge Community center and volunteers are needed. from 11:00-2:00. Some folks are meeting at the OU Inn at 10:30 to convoy to Lottridge. Please contact Claudia if you want to go at gonzalez@ohio.edu. The community center is pretty easy to find too its on Co Rd. 53. Here is a map: www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Lottridge&state=OH

Second:
Rotary will be distributing text books in Trimble, OH next week on Thursday the 21st and we have been invited by Ram Gawande to participate. This is a great opportunity for you to meet some Rotarians and also help young people. Rotarians and Rotaractors (if thats what we are) will be assembling at the OU in at 11:15 am to make our way over to Trimble.

Lastly, please feel free to leave comments so we can all hear from you. We want your cooperation, minds, and hands to help us all make an impact! 

Thanks, Verne Simons
