Our ORBRC Spring Fun(ction) brought together about 60 Rotarians and guests at Moondollars Cafe (as in "not Starbucks") last week.
At left, Pat Imperato and John Iacovino compare glasses -- and it should be noted that John was "on his way home from the hospital" at the time!
(That's Cathy Toth's husband, Bill, in the background).

LONG-RANGE PLANNING MOVING FORWARD
About a dozen members of our club met last week to extend the long-range planning process for the coming year. Preliminary plans and budgets were reviewed.
The next session will be held this Friday, beginning at 11:30 a.m., in the first-floor conference room (Room 150) of the Cowperwood Building at 151 Lafayette Drive (the western most building of the complex at the intersection of Lafayette and Laboratory Road). The club calendar and projects proposed by club advocates for the coming year will be reviewed as well as individual committee goals.
Please let Charles Crowe know if you plan to attend so that we're sure to have enough lunches ordered.
HELP WANTED: FOUNDATIONALLY
The Foundation Committee is in need of a volunteer to learn how to process and keep the associated records for donations to the Rotary Foundation. This person will serve as backup for Dub Shults, and eventually take over the job. The person needs to be comfortable with EXCEL and good with details. The job requires an hour or so per week on average and it is not a scheduled or time-driven task. If you are interested, please contact Martha Hobson or Dub Shults.
Great News from our Robertsville Breakfast YouthActors —
An email from Cathy Toth, our Robertsville Middle School YouthAct coordinator:
"Gotta pass on a WOW: As you know, the YouthAct club is working on raising money for their clean water project in Cambodia. This morning (Tuesday), we tallied up the donations so far – more than $1800 in two weeks!"
If you still want to participate, they extended the deadline until the next YouthAct meeting on May 12. See Cathy!
A LAST FRIENDLY REMINDER
Dues are due FRIDAY for the coming Rotary year. Amounts are $260 for six months or $500 for the full year.

If you need another copy of your statement, please contact Treasurer Robert Weir at rwcpa@boweir.com.
ATTENTION: PAUL HARRIS FELLOWS
711 Club Opportunity in Progress - Donation is $50 for the chance to name the next ORBRC Paul Harris Fellow.
Donations will support things like the GSE Team from India that visited with our club and in our community last week and our nomination of a potential Ambassadorial Scholar.
