November is Rotary Foundation Month
Please enjoy, learn and be inspired by this week's Lake Views newsletter of Lake Chelan Rotary. We are proud of the community and international service we have provided since 1926 to the Lake Chelan region.
Our club meets every Tuesday at 11:45 a.m. at Tsillan Cellars in Sorrento's Ristorante. Our satellite meeting is held at The Vogue, the Valley's Gathering Place, on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month at 7 a.m. Please join us at either of these meetings, and feel free to bring a guest interested in Rotary.

Even though
John Anderson
"retired" from Lake Chelan Rotary, he comes to visit as often as he can, noting that our Club is the finest Rotary Club he has been a member of. Tye Witt presented him with an Honary Membership at the October 30 meeting. John will return to Chelan someday...when the timing is right for his family.

Club Announcements
Festival of Trees: Our Rotary Club will be participating in the Festival of Trees event (see further information below). In fact, we already have a tree ready to decorate! However, we will be needing somebody(s) to help champion this endeavor. (There is a rumor that a couple of Board members are willing to head this up). And, they will be needing a few good volunteers to help out. Further details to come.
Prescription Glasses Donation: Don't toss out those old prescription glasses (or sunglasses). Tom Tochterman will be collecting them for donation next time he heads over to his "home away from home" in Kenya.
Do you contribute to the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International through automatic payment withdrawals? Please remember to notify Linda O'Brian at
[email protected]
if you do to ensure that the additional $25 annual club contribution is made in your name.
