Hello All!

I have signed our group up for a small fundraising opportunity. We will be manning the ASUI voting polls Tuesday from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. I apologize that I didn't consult anyone about this opportunity, but it was first come first serve, which meant I needed to respond immediately or lose out. I chose Tuesday because it is the day I have the most dead time, which I figured would be needed considering this is short notice for everyone. We need at least one person at the booth at all times throughout the day, but if you would like company, bring a friend! If everyone could email me a time that they would be willing to help out I would really appreciate it. If everyone does a 2 hour time slot, the day will go by quickly. We make $100 dollars to sit and point people to the right direction, much easier than scrubbing cars. I have a schedule ready and will start inserting names as soon as I receive your emails. 

Chewy- Did anything ever happen with the Rotaract Shirts? This would be a great place to wear them!

Thank you,

Shandy Lam

Last Email Emily Update!

Hello Everyone!

I hope that everyone's weekend went swimmingly. :) And that in the cooler weather you have not all gotten sick.

This email is a reminder about the meeting that is scheduled for next week [Thursday the 19th]. This is a very important meeting. Everyone MUST attend. The District Governor will be there. I am E-mailing you now, so that you can get time off of work, and get out of other meetings in order to attend this meeting.

You will all be receiving another E-mail next week, as you usually do as a reminder for the meeting...

I will see each and every one of you at 5:30 next Thursday, November 19, at Gritman Hospital (room to be announced--as I am hoping to hear from someone who knows where the room is...Debbie? Tom?).

Have a Fantastic Evening! :D

Some Links to Read!

Here are links to two important documents for Rotary, Rotaract and our club.

The first is a link to the Rotaract International Committee Newsletter it has updates, goals, and information about Rotaract and what Rotaract clubs should strive for.

The next is information regarding 2009-2010 Rotary International Presidential Citation. Rotaract clubs can engage in four or more of these activities to get a Presidential Citation, just as Rotary Clubs can!

Just some food for thought. Our next meeting is tomorrow, Thursday Oct. 15th, at 5:30 pm at the second floor conference room at Gritman Medical Center in Moscow.

Car Wash This Weekend!

Hello All! As a quick preliminary post- I want to remind everyone about the upcoming car wash! We need as many people present- and helping as possible! Tell your friends. The details are below in a press release format. Forward it on to everyone!


For Immediate Release

Upcoming Rotaract Car Wash Benefits Local and Global Causes

Rotaract of the Palouse is having a car wash and hot dog feed this Saturday, Sept. 12, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Tyler Kelly Motors lot in Moscow.

Proceeds from the car wash and hot dog feed will be split between Rotaract of the Palouse, and the Pullman Rotaract. The Pullman Rotaract is currently raising money to build a house in Uganda for a family that is currently living in condemned housing. Many branches of Rotaract in the region are raising money to assist in their efforts for the Ugandan family, said Rotaract of the Palouse president Tom Lynch.

Fundraising events like this help sponsor Rotaract and its’ causes. Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club, for young people aged 18 to 30. Rotaract of the Palouse meets every second and fourth Tuesday of the month at 6 p.m. in the Gritman Medical Center Café.

“Rotaract channels and amplifies the energy I have for contributing to my community along with the talents and energy of others in a way that's more impactful than any one of us could do on our own,” said Rotaract member and Lewiston resident Matt Weibler.
