Weekly Update 8/22/14



Thanks to all Board members for attending Monday’s meeting.  While it got to be a little lengthy, I appreciate everyone’s patience.  Once again, if you have questions over anything that was discussed feel free to give us a call.

Just like last year, I was part of a presentation to the District Governor of Rotary on Monday.  As head of the Junior Rotarian committee, I spoke about four main things:

1.       How Jr. Rotarian’s are invited and encouraged to get involved in the Local Community Service Projects Committee and other related committees.
2.       How we ensure high school seniors are aware of Davenport Rotary Scholarships.
3.       How high school student lead the club in singing the National Anthem monthly at our meetings.
4.       Our RYLA program and how we sent two students to the youth leadership conference last year and will do so again this year.

Our Alum update on Fr. Pat Barnes went out this week.  If you didn’t have a chance to see it check it out here:  http://us6.campaign-archive2.com/?u=fadb9cf083c38b3e45ff9ab36&id=5aeba5ad76

We had our first meeting with Sr. Joan and Mike Poster since the veto by Mayor Gluba was upheld by the council. We will be moving forward with an alternative plan for the construction of the stadium, which currently means we are discussing, researching, planning and looking at every detail of this partnership. Details will need to be ironed out, but this has the potential to strengthen our partnership with St. Ambrose. 

On the facilities side, much of this week has been spent taking care of the little details in our classrooms. Our crew has been working very hard to make sure we get every request taken care of, no matter how big or small.  Thanks to those guys for all of their hard work.

Just a reminder - both the Century Club Steak Fry (which will be held on Saturday this year) and the football scrimmage with Pleasant Valley are this weekend. Hope to see you all there.  

Have a great weekend!

Andy
