RD2002-4-8 - Vocational Service - Scott's report read by Elmer
Student interviews at Crowe High are being greatly reduced due to a reduction in funding for the Career Prep program. Only students taking the course by correspondence and requesting an interview will be needing help. There is no longer a teacher to run the program.
RD2002-4-9 - International Service - Lana
- World Community Service - Bruce Fawcett is still waiting for word back from the program we are supporting. The coffers now has $500 ready to send.
- GSE - Wayne Hakanson, who chaired this committee has left Rotary, need a replacement.
- Polio - A bottle of sake was brought back from Japan by club members who traveled on the recent sister city exchange. It is a gift to the both the Castlegar SunRise and Trail Rotary Clubs. The club who raises the most money will get to keep it for a fundraiser. All funds to go to Polio campaign. Gay Prokopetz passed a hat at Rotary on Wed. but it was thought we may have to do it again as a number of people didn't understand what was going on.
- Foundation - no report
- Youth Exchange - Moved by Lana, seconded by Ray that the club support an inbound and outbound exchange for next year. According to the new rules, an outbound student has to recruit two families.
Jan Morton sent this report but it wasn't received before the meeting hence is in blue.
There is not a great deal to report this month regarding the Youth Exchange Program but I will give you a few highlights:
1) our Inbound student, Kasane, is doing fine. Her capacity to speak English is improving significantly and she is getting along well with various new friends. She is doing well at school. She is still finding the language barrier tiring and discouraging at times but I think that's to be expected - I am guessing that by about December, she will start realizing just how much more she is comprehending and able to speak. Kasane will be moving to her 2nd host family on Nov. 2nd. The Dasiuk family have stepped in as the 4th family in place of the one family we "lost". In order to accomodate the Dasiuks, the order of the host family placements has changed slightly: The 2nd placement will be with the Dasiuks; the 3rd will be with Peter and Maureen in keeping with the original schedule and the 4th placement will now be with the Burkes. We will need to find a temporary placement for Kasane for a couple of weeks while the Burkes visit their daughter in the Netherlands but I don't see any problem with that - I'm happy to take her and Betty Anne has said the same thing.
2) The promotional campaign to recruit Outbound candidates for the upcoming year has gone well. The Trail Times did an excellent front page article. We held an informational meeting at J.L. Crowe on Oct. 3rd. Gary Kanda (with some help from our "Rebound" student, Jordan Fontaine) got colourful posters up at strategic locations around town. The preliminary applications were due today and Club interviews will take place Oct. 21. The club's selection team will be made up of Gary, Jordan, Hugh Hamilton and me.
3) I hope to get Jordan scheduled to speak to a lunch hour meeting in late November or early December. (Jordan's keen about doing the presentation - I've been slow about getting a date coordinated with Jack McConnachie).
4) Gary is becoming acquainted with the role of YEP coordinator. We are focussing on him learning about the process of selecting the Outbound student and finding next year's host families (and I am keeping him informed about what I'm doing with the Inbound student). He's keen and is taking the lead on a number of tasks. I am confident that by next fall he will be ready for the coordination role.

RD2002-4-10 - Ways and Means - Forrest
-Las Vegas night scheduled for sometime in January or February
-The dinner theatre night has been booked with Phoenix Players and the KP Hall has been secured for Feb. 1. It will include a silent auction and raffle.
-There will be a raffle of a diamond pendant which will be ready in Oct. (from Lauener Bros. Jewellers). No airline ticket is available. The raffle tickets will be sold up to and at the night of the dinner theatre.
-Gord Gattafoni is still looking into donor bricks for Rotary Park.
-Carol Festival being organized at the Charles Bailey Theatre for Dec. 11. Forrest is looking for potential choirs as Crowe's choir is not available and he doesn't have enough just yet.
-The Christmas party is scheduled for Dec. 18 but the Breakfast with Santa will coincide with the Silly Santa Parade, whenever that is.
-In need of fellowship, the club will hold a silent auction and dinner meeting on Nov. 20 (moved by Forrest, seconded by Ernie). It was decided to ask Gay Prokopetz to organize it with possibly an American Thanksgiving or Pilgrim theme.

RD2002-4-11 - Financial Report - Douve
The club is over $1,000 in the hole in the community account, Douwe reported, "and the year has only nine months left." He was concerned about the fact that membership is down, hence the budgeted amount of dues has not been collected. The club is also behind on collections for birthdays.
The club donated money to the Legion for a Remembrance Day wreath as it has done in the past.
As for the polio campaign, $2,925 has been raised to date for the Foundation but is ear-marked for the Polio Campaign. Douwe will do the bookkeeping to see how this works out.
President Elmer asked that a letter be written to Laurie Pettijohn to thank him and his staff for doing the club's accounting. Moved by Betty Ann and Elmer that $50 be donated to the Polio Fund in Laurie's name.

RD2002-4-12 - New Business
Elmer has not received but has been told that the club will need a centennial project for 2005. The issue will be put in the bulletin. The Japan group reported that the Tsukui club would like to do a joint project with Trail Rotary that year, something to do with greening.

RD2002-4-13 - Nominations Committee - Ray
