DCEF Rocks

The topic of the day is the clock. All of the hard work has been completed. The clock is up and all we have to do now is it just the time. How many Rotarians does it take to set the time on the new Rotary Clock? The answer my never be known. 

We had visitors from Greencastle today, Ann Clark and Cindy Schrader. They shared with us their Toasting the Community event that will be held on May 10 2013. Wine and beer tasting, silent auction and plenty of food and fun are in store.  

We had three interactors join us and Greg was joined by his parents Ron and Linda VanLaere and Chris who was job shadowing him.

Our speaker was Christina Ward from the Danville Community Education Foundation.   Christina is a Danville grad and an active parent and volleyball coach.  Christina shared with us the mission of the DCEF.  Over $230, 000 has been awarded in scholarships since 1997 when the DCEF was founded.   Besides scholarships, the DCEF also provides grants for teachers.   Those grants can be used for programs or equipment that is needed.   Fundraisers include a golf outing, Entertainment Books, computer sale and Yankee candles.   One of the goals of the DCEF is to get away from using the kids to sell items door to door.

Progress is being made on the golf outing.  Seth Cromer wrote a Golfing Manifesto that was read to the club. Things that we learned from Seth's novel were: 1. Mark Morgan lets is wife do his dirty work. 2. Doug Catt beats TK like a drum. 3. Terry Kessinger thought that in fundraising that the lowest score wins as in golf. 4. There is something illegal about Keith Gill's team (might be the drugs they are trying to collect). And 5. Jon McDugle's team is eye candy.

The End
