It's District Conference Time
On Friday we will meet as part of the opening general session of the Rotary District Conference in Room 21, the same place we normally meet.
Please support Governor Steve and attend. There is no cost to members of the Waterloo club since we will not meet next Monday, April 25.
Stick around after lunch to see the premier of the new multi-media presentation on the children of the dump.

Housing Still Needed
For Youth Exchange Students
As of last weekend, Kevin McCrindle was still looking for club members who would agree to house one or two youth exchange students Friday and Saturday nights.
Please call him right away at 291-7242 or 234-0535 if you have a spare bedroom.
No Rest for the Active
No sooner will the district conference be history than the club turns its attention to the Million Dollar Hole in One Shootout.
Committee members running the shootout have been pretty quiet until now in deference to the conference, so be ready to help them in our club's major fund raiser for local projects.
And shortly after the shootout is completed, the shoebox project will be back in action. In case you've forgotten, ours is a service club.
