August 9, 2018

Attendees:  Joe Ballsteadt, Jayne Barnett, Linda Book, Chris Casper, Dave Chasse, Denise Chassé, Julie Chassé, , Rose Defa, Ronda Eiting, Julie Jones, Tim Jones,  Justin Powell, Dave Ruprecht, Laurie Summers-Pisani, Erica Wolff
Guests:  Rian Trombetti, Emma Holbrook
Business Items:
1.      Call to order, Four-Way Test
2.      Youthlinc presentations – our guests, Rian and Emma described their experiences volunteering in Kenya and Fiji, respectively.  One of the things that stood out for both of them was how happy these people were with what very little they had. Home visits were another favorite for the girls because the people told them what they loved about their country, what work they did to provide for their families, and how they had access to water. The girls mixed and laid concrete, dug septic tanks for toilets and made a mural for the people to remember them by.   The girls were very grateful for the financial help from Rotary Club, which made their trip possible.




3.      Wine into Water Updates
a.      Food Committee – Jayne and Julie J. reported that the number for Utah Food Services was increased to 150.  We’re still in need of appetizers.  Please sign up on the link Julie Jones sent out.  Plan to bring enough for 50 people.
b.      Beverage Committee – Laurie reported UFS will provide lemonade and water. Wines from France, Italy and NY state will be featured.  Laurie has the list and plans to get the wine in the next week or so.  If you would like to donate towards purchase of the wines, please contact Laurie.
c.      Task Committee – Rose reminded everyone to bring serving utensils with your dish and please plate your dish ahead of the event.
d.      Wine Pull & Opportunity drawing- Ronda indicated she has received only 24 bottles of wine to-date.  She had hoped to have each member donate 2 bottles in order to make the wine pull work.  Please contact Ronda if you can help turn this around.  As a minimum, please bring wine to the Sept 6th business meeting.  Ronda also asked for donations of weekend away or something along those lines for the opportunity drawing.
e.      RSVP – Dave reported 58 total attendees have signed up, and that we all need to pitch in to make our 237-persons attendance goal happen.  Dave asked that we all remind our invitees to please get signed up.  The link to purchase tickets is provided below, for your convenience:

f.       Signage – Joe volunteered to work with a friend to get signage made for free.  We brainstormed what signs we would like, and had a lot of good ideas.  Chris volunteered to coordinate final wording with Joe.
4.      August Service Event – Chris is leading a hike with refugee children to Ensign Peak on August 23.  She will send out details including trailhead location via email.
