October 9th Meeting

Sunrise Rotarian Tom Wendt, owner of Amana Essential of Woodland, was our guest speaker today and presented a program on 'Ancient to Modern Alternatives in Healing'.

We enjoyed having visiting Rotarian Ute Turner (Luna Vista) with us today. With Mike Chandler away, Immediate Past President Peter Holmes took the lead on today's meeting.

Kevin Haarberg took the lead on today's Recognition and promptly fined Marc Faye, Steve Venables, and Clancy Duppong for a below-standard leading of Rotary Grace. Mark Ullrich enjoyed a dinner  at the home of Gary & Meg Wirth recently (acquired at the Rotary Auction).

It just wasn't Kevin Haarberg's day today. He earned yet another free lunch.

 Today's guest speaker was Tom Pritchard, Woodland Joint Unified School District Superintendent who gave us an update on various District activities including Measure O on the November 6th ballot. Thanks to Barbara Sonin for introducing the program.

 Joining us today were visting Rotarian Nick Ponticello (Sunrise) and John Ketelsen (guest of Jim Taylor).

 We got to know Kevin Haarberg a little bit more today. Tabb Randolph did his first ever stint as Recognition lead today. Marc Faye had Sunrise Rotary Salmon BBQ dinner tickets for sale.

Steve Venables is looking for Club volunteers to help with the

WWI Commemoration Parade on November 10th.

Tanzania Children's Hospital Project

The new Digital X-ray building, at the Children's Hospital in Zinga, Tanzania, Africa, was recently opened. A $103,000 Rotary International Global Grant co-sponsored by all three Woodland Rotary clubs and others in our region, provided a digital x-ray system, a digital dental x-ray system and an ultrasound system, along with necessary training of local staff on their use, for this hospital.

'The primary objective of

this global grant is to improve access to diagnostic radiology services for the poor and underserved children of Tanzania.'
