Last Meeting Notes, News & Requests

·         John Paskin from DIK gave a talk.  He indicated the DIK are not dead and buried and that there is a probability of going in with another group (whose name escapes me).  [Can we look at what we have with the Lions re the block of land at Palmdale]. The amount of work that DIK has done over the years and number of containers sent – mainly to PNG – is amazing.

·         Debra has done a plan of speakers and events for the year. It is a work in progress.

·         Bob Lemon now has facilities to do the scan payments.

·         Barry is happy. All fees paid except one.

·         David Cameron did a talk on what is required at CPL for the water.

Joke(s) of the week

 

Why is the mistletoe hanging over the baggage counter?” asked the airline passenger, amid the holiday rush. The clerk replied, “It’s so you can kiss your luggage good-bye.”

 

Sunday school teacher asked her little children, as they were on the way to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" One bright little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."

Lee thanks Rotarians for their support

August 2008

Dear friends,

Thank you very much for your good wishes and kind congratulations welcoming me as RI president. It is heartwarming to see the outpouring of messages that my wife, Young, and I received. We appreciate and are humbled by the attention. I am honored to have been chosen as the 2008-09 Rotary International president. Young and I look forward to the opportunity to continue serving Rotary. We feel that with the continued support of dedicated Rotarians around the world, we can truly Make Dreams Real.  I am particularly pleased by the response to my RI theme, Make Dreams Real. It is gratifying to hear that my call for Rotarians to make the world a better place for children has resonated with so many of you.    I am glad you are ready to embrace this theme and to stand shoulder to shoulder with me to achieve this goal.United in Rotary, we can Make Dreams Real for all of the world’s children by reducing child mortality.     As we begin this new adventure of Rotary service, Young and I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible and visiting your many worthy projects. Stop by my Web pages monthly to see the various places we have visited during our RI travels.

Sincerely,14

Dong Kurn (D.K.) Lee
