Rotary FAQ:

Fundraising Sign Up Form
Not sure how it happened but the sign up form distributed by the Fund Raising Committee took a walk with someone on their way out the door this morning. If the person who wound up with the form would quietly return the same to Michael Keeney there will be no fuss and no fine. The Committee would just like the safe return of the form.

That said, the sign up form for volunteers for the Fund Raising Committee will be at the front desk next Wednesday morning for those of you who wish to participate. We thank you in advance for helping the Committee out.

Speaker Notes

We thank Dr. Steve Payne, State Superintendent of Schools for talking to us today about 21 st Century Learning taking place across West Virginia. Evidently, West Virginia is well on its way to mirroring curriculum that is regarded a successful model in teaching necessary skills in information and communication; thinking and problem-solving; and personal and workplace productivity.

Also, we want to belatedly thank Sue Julian and her associate, Tonia for speaking to us about the WV Coalition Against Domestic Violence. At the end of their presentation, Jim Pitrolo presented, much to their surprise, a copy of a brand new executive order reconstituting The Governor's Council on Family Violence. It had sunset some time ago.

Upcoming Speaker

Join us in welcoming Jim Skidmore - Chancellor of the Community & Technical College System.
