Prices for raffle tickets are $20 /1 ticket or $200 / 12 tickets, the proceeds from which will benefit both communities. Drawing for the winning ticket happens on August 25.

RI Update by Fred - Our 75th Anniversary Dinner Speaker Gives an Award.
In a summary of District 7170's Conference held this week was the following:
"... the presentation of the First Annual Bill Cadwallader Service Above Self award was made to Mike Jerome, GSE Team Leader, after which he and all his team were made Paul Harris Fellows ..."
As most of you remember, Dr Cadwallader was the story teller and speaker at our 75th Anniversary Dinner on November 26, 2002. Some may remember that he returned a portion of his reimbursement of expenses money with the provision that it be divided between those that had not contributed to TRF and that the full amount be sent to TRF but itemized to each. That is the only year we have had 100% contributions to The Rotary Foundation.

Assignments are mostly repeats from '03-'04, principally because the success rate was high. If you swap tasks/change assignments, would you please e-mail me your changes for updating the organizational chart?
