Remember July 31st is Rock 'n Soul!
Chuck Andracchio and Laura Rannels are the co-chairs. Setup will be Friday July 30, and this year the Saturday event will be an all afternoon and evening affair taking advantage of the conclusion of RAGBRAI on that day. We need a lot of volunteers for this showcase money raising event. Every hour you spend volunteering counts as a meeting credit for your attendance record. Below, our co-chairs are doing their best to inspire members to join in the volunteer effort. We need everyone's help to make this project a success. It's our biggest fund-raiser of the year.

July 13th, 2010 Mike Budde and Professor Susan Stone, Loras College, gave a presentation on Loras's efforst to create a summer institute for elementary and secondary students to provide them with learning experiences only a college can provide. It's a great marketing tool besides the fact that kids get to taste college life in a unique way. Patterned after the highly successful Loras Sports Camp and UD for Kids (University of Dubuque), schools like Loras all over the country are learning what it takes to build brand identity with potential students that reside in our own back yard and beyond.

Guest of Hank Siverkrup (University of Dubuque).

July 20th, 2010 Rotary Youth Exchange was the topic of our presentation this week, and a student from Brazil was our key-noter. The Rotary Club does a fantastic job of building understanding between cultures through this and many other programs, but the Youth Exchange Program is one of the oldest and best in the world, putting students with host families throughout the world. Below, Kim and our Presidente, Tanya Bottomley, hold up the new banner that was donated to promoting our efforts from Dubuque Sign Company. Thanks for supporting Rotary Club and Youth Exchange.

Doug Stillings brought a guest, Dan Pape. Welcome and we believe Dan is seeking membership.
