Magazine Month
April is Magazine Month, and a gentle suggestion that the Rotarian is good for more than getting your personal and club number off of the label. The Rotarian is the way to see what the world of Rotary is all about. And if you don’t have time to read it in April, hold onto it until you do have time. I think I am through the December magazine.
Service and Fund Raising Efforts
I will shortly be getting out a document to the AGs that has all of my compiled information on the fund raising and service activities. Most of the info was valid for the year prior to my official visit. I have asked the AGs to review the information with each club President to see if it looks correct or if they would like to update. We will have a news release during District Conference to news papers around the District about this information.
Golf Ball Drop (POSTPONED UNTIL NOVEMBER)
This event was intended to help club Presidents meet their polio goals. We have said that $2000 per club is difficult for small clubs and pocket change for large clubs. We changed to a suggested $37 per member. The $25 golf ball was a way to make those contributions.
We were planning to hold the drop on Friday afternoon, April 30. However, with the Conference, Golf Tournament, Awards Banquet, etc., it was just too much. We will integrate it into the regular polio program with a planned drop during Foundation month in November. Contributions to date will be held until the drop, or refunded if the donor desires.
April 2010 
April Fools Day came on and actually made a case that spring is finally here. The trees are blooming and flowers are blooming. The dogwoods and Azaleas should come next week. For once, the Masters ground keepers did not have to ice down the plants to keep them from blooming before the Masters.
