The catch up school relies on donations and needs a steady stream of income. He and Gordy are working on a draft proposal for the project. A lot of work will need to be done before the club will get involved. The next steps include getting the local African Rotary Club on board with ownership of the program; there needs to be a presentation to the board here is the African club is a go; then it can be taken to the membership if the board signs on. Dave has been researching how micro loans to the school might be leveraged to enable the students to generate some of the income needed.</p><p>Junior Achievement – Dave is also interested in getting a Junior Achievement program going here at the high school this coming fall. </p><p>Club Runner – It was noted that committees can put their information on the Club Runner website. We need a meeting to train the general membership on how to use Club Runner; and a meeting to train committee chairs on how to upload information to the site.</p><p>Conference – Al Moss reported that Hope Source will provide the shuttle transportation. We need members to sign up for Home Hosting and we can expect the conference to be FUN!</p><p>UPCOMING EVENTS: August 8th - Board Mtg. 6:45 a.m. @ Bar 14 August 22nd - BBQ at KVCH - 11:30 a.m. August 29th - Fellowship Meeting TBA</p><p>Meeting adjourned at 8:05 am</p><p>Respectfully submitted, Debby DeSoer, secretary</p><p>Approved, Marty Stewart, 7/19/07</p>
