Our Guests last week were Rebecca Walkup, Linda Morgan Clark, Laura Wiekicer, Tonya James, & Derrick Reed as guests of Kim Lynch, Dean Swan as a guest of Ivory Vann, Beth Seim as a guest of Shirley Hilton, and Becky Ponce & Larry Moore as guests of Marlon Coleman. Welcome back anytime.

Membership Drive
A new membership drive is now under way with a few changes. Instead of having teams like before, this will be an individual competition with the top ten members getting the rewards. More details later but the time is now.

Party In The Park
The Party In The Park will be our next major fund raiser on April 21st. One goal is to get people from outside of Muskogee to attend. So get those tickets out to those you know from other communities and let's continue to grow this event. Melinda Murphy and Nita McClellan are the chairs and contacts for this event.

District & RI News

The District Assembly is scheduled for April 28th in Springdale, Ark.. This is a one day event with training and information sessions for Rotary projects at the club, district, and international levels. Board members, committee members, and anyone who is interested in continuing or starting a new project should consider attending this event.

A Rotary Foundation Matching Grant project that grew out of a Group Study Exchange (GSE) has provided basic mobile medical and dental care to thousands of children who lost their families in the 2006 eruption of Mount Merapi in Indonesia. During a District 1200 (England) GSE visit to District 3400 (Indonesia) in 2008, team leader Hugo Pike discovered that many homeless children living in Yogyakarta, Java, needed medical care. His district developed a plan to outfit a vehicle as a mobile clinic that would be staffed by medical teams from a major hospital in Yogyakarta.
