Picnic Table Project:
In lieu of a regular meeting, we gathered at Craig Snyder’s garage to stain parts for the remaining six tables.  We managed to finish staining the last parts just as the pizza arrived.  Thanks to Judy Harms for getting the pizza, Chris Duntz for bringing brownies, and to substitute Social Committee member Bob Gunther for bringing water.
 
We have now poured concrete pads for all of the tables, including six at the Youth Cabin.  We have placed four tables at Rotary Park and two at the dog park.  Thanks to everyone who has participated in this project.
 
Grocery Grab:
The tickets are here!  Please pick up your tickets to sell from Chris Duntz at the Edward Jones office on Highway 33.  Remember that we are asking each member to either sell or purchase at least two books (10 tickets).
 
If you want an opportunity to sell tickets, Peter Clarke has said that we can sell in front of Food Mart.  Peter suggested that Friday afternoons and Saturdays are the busiest shopping times.
 
John Lothrop has posters that we can use when selling tickets.  Contact John if you want to use them.  The posters are shown below.  One is a generic version that can be used from year to year.  A matching poster in Spanish has also been printed.  The second contains specific details for the 2015 Grocery Grab and is bi-lingual.  Flyers will be available to members to distribute.
 
 
The Crete Rotary Club meets Wednesdays at 5:30 PM at Doane College in the Board Room of the Perry Campus Center.  Due to numerous service projects, we may not meet some weeks.  Please check the event calendar.
