to share their "best practices and

Service Chair states, "I hope all
presidents-elect and membership
and Club Service chairs attend. To
continue to serve our communities
at home and around the world, Rotary needs a strong sustainable
membership”States Armenia, "We
want to help clubs retain and develop current members and leaders.
Statistics show that 70% of all the
members we bring into Rotary remain for less than 3 years. We must
stop this trend of bringing new
members in the front door while our
current members exit through the
back door." Membership Seminar
participants will receive a copy of
the district's newly updated Club
Leader's Membership Sourcebook
developed during the past four
years during past membership
seminars and assemblies. The
Sourcebook is has all the ingredients club presidents and membership committee leaders need to

also give attendees a copy of Frank
Talk II, a new book published by

(www.frankdevlyn.org/retenti

on successful practices and programs designed to "retain" members and re-energize their Rotary

" Musical Re-union Strikes a Happy Chord"
In his other life, before moving west to Olympia and joining the
Hawk's Prairie club. District Newsletter editor Greg Stevens
led the country music band "The Wichita Linemen" For over 30
years they toured the country playing some 200+ dates per year
backing up or opening for virtually every major country music act
at one time or another.. Even most of the newer country stars like
Tim McGraw, Martina McBride, Brooks & Dunn, Reba McIntire,
and country music legend Charlie Daniels. Recently his band
reunited in Augusta , Kansas for a fund raising re-union. Greg
said later "the greatest thing about this show was that my three brothers and my sister were there. It was the first time we had all
been together in the same place in over 20 years, even my 76 year old mother was there" It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

“LETS FACE IT” Port McNeil Rotarians make sure that when you clean your days catch you have to stand there facing into a Rotary wheel.
The club built this popular, free service, fish cleaning table on the dock. Coincidently there happens to be a Rotary wheel placed strategically
at eye level. Club President Chuck Lok, showed off the unit to DG Dick Drew and AG Layne Marshal explaining how Rotary gets a million dollars worth of good publicity from happy fisher’s who stand there while cleaning their catch... Total cost was only $250.00 not including
value of machining and labour which was donated [ as useful] by members of the club. *Note* DG5020 Dick Drew is the guy with the hat
that you can’t see!)

“It is idle to boast that Rotary is a panacea for all the
ills of the world. It is not, nor will it be. It has grown
to its present position for two reasons. First, Rotary
ideals justify its existence. These ideals are as fresh
today as they were in the beginning and I believe
that we have come to understand them better. Also,
Rotary activities have been sane and wholesome.
People’s lives have been quickened into a zeal to be
helpful to others. The work of Rotary has been ideal.
It has also been practical.”Arthur H. Sapp- Address

District Governor Dick Drew's visit to the Port Alberni Rotary Club
on August 19th was highlighted with the installation of two new
members. The two new members were both sponsored by club
member Lori Schmidt who has been a member of the Port Alberni Club for the past five years coming from the Kitimat Rotary
Club where she was a member for about a year. The Port Alberni
Rotary Club has just completed a very successful fund raising
activity by selling tickets on a prize of $10,000 in conjunction with
our annual Salmon Festival. We sold tickets to a total value of
$24,877 of which $10,000 was realized to go back into the community as charitable donations.

From the Heart of Rotary Area 9B………. Area 9b
The clubs of Olympia, West Olympia, Tumwater, Lacey, South
Puget Sound and Hawks Prairie. All clubs in Area 9b are very healthy and active with all being involved in many fun and interesting activities. As of this writing, the biggest event in the area is the
Military March sponsored by Hawks Prairie. I won’t take time here to talk about the march as it is
covered in depth elsewhere in this news letter. The Olympia club is gearing up for its busiest time
of the year. They are the spearhead club for the Jazz Festival to be held in November. This 3rd
annual festival is a non-competition event for high school jazz bands. It involves all the area clubs
and has been very well received by the community as well as raising money for musical instruments to be given to local students and for international clean water projects. Also in November
they will sponsor a fun black tie/costume event they call the James Bond Night. In October, along
with the West Olympia Club, they put on an evening of spaghetti, fun and football with the annual
Spaghetti Bowl to celebrate the football game between Olympia High and Capital High. West
Olympia, Lacey and South Puget Sound are all busy with new exchange students. The students
come from Venezuela, France, Sweden, and the Chec Republic. A new club is being formed here
Paul Randall
in Olympia. This new club is called the Capital Centennial club and is meeting at 400 p.m. to draw
on those who work at the state capital campus and are unable to attend a noon or morning club meeting.
Longview Early Edition Rotary started

HELP! For Hurricane Charley!
To All Rotarians, Yesterday the President of my
Rotary Club and I traveled to Port Charlotte to
assist in helping the people as a result of the
Devastation of Hurricane Charley. I can only
tell you that the people are real fighters and will
overcome this disaster but they have a long way
to go and it will take years to get back to some
sense of normalcy. In the meantime they need
our assistance.When Hurricane Charley first
made its presence known to us, much damage
was done in the Fort Myers, Naples, Sanibel
and Captiva areas. In fact, Captiva Island is
now two islands with a 400 foot separation. It
proceeded to the Peace River area hitting Punta
Gorda, Port Charlotte
> and surrounding areas. It then continued its
destructive path towards Arcadia again doing
extensive damage just as in the Punta Gorda
area. It did not stop there but proceeded on
North with the same force towards Orlando and
finally exiting around the Daytona Beach area.
As a result of this, several, several communities
and district's have sustained major damage.
Earlier I had reported District 6960 as needing
assistance. Since then we have received word
that District 6890 has sustained major damage
especially Hardee, Polk and Highlands Counties. I might add that several of our Rotarians
have sustained extended damage losing both
home and business. Please help as much as
you can. The best way that anyone can help is
with monetary assistance. If you can help,
during the 24-hour event to help raise
money for the Longview Early Edition
Team in memory of one of their long
time members, Bill Putannsuu, who
passed away with cancer this year. Over
160 people bought tickets to ride the train,
helping the Rotary team raise
over $5,000 and making the Relay For Life
Event an overwhelming success in
raising over $125,000!
