Ann Palmer will be taking pictures at the Rotary Noon Meetings on August 21 and 28 for the directory. They will only be taking pictures of those members whose pictures are not in the directory. That is for new members not listed in the directory as well as other members whose picture is not the directory. The Goal of Tom Gorrell and Ann Palmer is to get a picture of every member in the directory. They will not be doing retakes of the members whose pictures are already there. If members cannot make either of these dates they can either mail a copy of a picture (any size/matte or glossy) to the Rotary Office or e-mail it to us, as a jpg file, at mailto:dtrotary@swbell.net. We cannot guarantee the return of any picture you send us. Deadline for submitting pictures is September 4. You could also contact Ann Palmer at 357-6386 or e-mail her palmerann@networksplus.net and arrange another date and time for her to take your picture.

Cups for new members admitted in 2007-2008 are on the back tables with your names on them. Please pick yours up.

Beginning next week, we will attempt a rather significant technological feat, by broadcasting our club meetings online. Barring technical glitches, you will be able to visit the Topeka Rotary Club website at noon and watch our club meet live over the web. The video will then be archived and available for you to watch later and potentially be used as a makeup meeting. There is a chance we might be the first, or at least one of the first, clubs to offer this. Consider this option when you cannot make a meeting or if you want to show potential members what Rotary is all about.
