Remember, as Greeter this week, you need to arrive at Woodstock Country Club early to greet members, visiting Rotarians, and guests (collect guest lunch fee of $14.00).  You also provide the pre-meal prayer, check attendance, announce guests and visiting Rotarians, manage the marble drawing and provide "Fun & Frolics."  If you are unable to fulfill your greeter obligation, please contact the next person in the greeter rotation to take your place.
 
Stories
New Story May 03 2019
Thats right Friday May 3 is D Day.  That is the day we are supposed to have deposited all of our auction items so that the organizers can get things arranged and planned  for our Beach Party Fund Raiser this May 11.  Information for all the items should have been turned in already, but Friday May 3 is the Day for the actual items to be turned in.  If you still have items that have not been delivered please bring them to the Rotary meeting this Friday so they can be accounted for and organized. This gives the committees in charge some time to get things ready to display so they won't be going crazy on Friday May 10. If this cannot be done please check the prior email that listed all the committees and other pertinent  information so you can personally contact the person in charge of your items.  
 
Lloyd Shaw has  reminded all the live auction  donors to please get the information to him by the meeting this Friday May 3.
 
The meeting on May 10 will be held at the Fairgrounds in Building D where we will all roll up our shirt sleeves and MAKE BUILDING D GREAT AGAIN.
WE 0NLY HAVE 9 MORE DAYS TO PUT THIS PROGRAM TOGETHER AND MAKE ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL BEACH PAR
TY EVENT. LET'S MAKE THIS THE BEST BEACH PARTY  EVER.
 
SPECIAL REQUEST FROM THE AUTHOR.   I AM REQUIRED TO HAVE TWO PERSONS BE DESIGNATED NON DRINKING SECURITY OFFICERS FOR THE EVENING  AS A REQUIREMENT FOR THE LIQUOR LICENSE.  PLEASE CONTACT ME AT THE MEETING I NEED 2 OR MORE VOLUNTEERS. SOBRIETY IS THE ONLY REQUIREMENT AND YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO WEAR A UNIFORM.    ALSO I WAS NOT AT THE CLEANUP LAST YEAR AS I WAS IN NORTH CAROLINA AT FAMILY GET TOGETHER AND THE LIGHTS THAT WE PUT UPOVER THE AUCTIONS ITEM WERE COLLECTED  BY SOMEONE AND I NEED TO K NOW SO  WE CAN GET THEM READY FOR THE EVENT.  PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU KNOW THE LOCATION OF THE DECORATIVE LIGHTING.      BILL SCHUBERTH
 
Girls on the Run
Michelle Stein has asked for our help with Girls on the Run, a 5K to be held at Woodstock North HS on May 19 at 8:30 AM.  Use this link to volunteer.  https//www.raceplanner.com/register/index/gotr5Kvolmc.  The weather should be perfect.
 
Beach Party:  Now is the time people.  We need ticket sales turned in with table reservations.  We need Live auction items turned in to Lloyd so we know where we stand with our auction.  We need basket items ready to go.  We need raffle ticket sales.  Not trying to beat a dead horse, just sending out a wake up call.  Time is running short.
 
Nature Report:  If you can't get excited about being outside this last week, you are in a coma.  All the birds are calling and nesting sites are being chosen.  The Turkeys are calling every morning.  The Pheasants are crowing all day long.  The Sand Hill Cranes are calling.  And a walk in the woods will reveal the early wild flowers, Trout lillies, Hepatica, Toad Trillium, Skunk Cabbage is growing, and the trees are leafing out.  Soon the fruit trees are about to bloom.   And no bugs!  Getout there.
Big Brother Big Sisters 
If you are looking for a way to give back to the community Big Brothers and Big Sisters along with District 200 have a great opportunity for you.  Big Brothers and Big Sisters is coming to District 200 starting with a lunch time mentoring program at Westwood Elementary School.  Big Brothers and Big Sisters is looking for people to serve in this program.  If you are interested or know someone who is interested please contact Karen Atkinson at karen.atkinson@bbbsmchenry.org or email Mike Moan at mmoan@wcusd200.org.  This is a great opportunity to give back to our community and our schools.  
Host Family
Host Family Needed!
 
As he has done for the past weeks, Chris reminded the Club on Friday that we need the third and final host family for Thomas. It is down to the wire. If you or someone you know is able to step up please contact Chris ASAP.
Beach Party 2019
Beach Party! Beach Party! Beach Party!
 
It is only 31 days away!  
 
We learned Friday that only 8 tickets had been sold. That's about 2% of our goal! Get your tickets sold and the info in to Laurie!
 
And for the hundreds of people that will come because we sold those tickets we need to have great ways for them to give their money:
 
  • Have you thought of a live auction item?
    • Major League sports ticket donations
    • Weekend away in a major US city - donate air miles, hotel gift card, limo, restaurant gift cards
    • Do you know of someone who has timeshare to share?  A summer/winter home to share?  Ask for it.
    • Weekend to NAPA Valley.  Sonoma County.  San Francisco.  There is wine AND beer out there.
    • NY NY weekend.
    • Dinner for 6 in your home.  Dinner for 6 at a great local restaurant.
    • Dinner Cruise on Lake Michigan.
    • Think of something that is not readily available, unique and an experience to remember.
  • How many basket items have you solicited?  We are going to bring back the silent auction for the top 10 baskets items.  Get yours on that list!
  • Remember it takes all of us to have a successful event.  ALL. OF. US.  Every year someone is unable to attend, that is life and it is OK.  Yet we still have the prep work to do:  Live auction items, silent auction items, invite guests, etc.  Try and keep Friday of the event weekend open for decorating duty.
 
The work of our club - the grants to the community and to international projects, our backpack program at Woodstock High School, Operation Warmth, RYLA, Peace Essays - just to list a few things is funded through this event. The better we do the more we can do.
