When it comes to Rotary, Mitty Chang is practically a lifer – and he's only 26. Chang joined Interact 10 years ago in Fremont, Calif., where almost a quarter of the 2,000 students at his high school were Interactors. He went on to organize two Rotaract clubs. Now an entrepreneur who works with small businesses and nonprofits to build their online identity and brand, he plans to become a Rotarian within the next few years. "I expect to have a long life in Rotary," he says. We caught up with Chang at the 2014 Rotary convention in Sydney, Australia, to find out what being a member of the Rotary...

In the Spring of 2014 then President Elect, Bob Troyer submitted his goals for the 2014-2015 Rotary Year. A recent check of the Rotary.org to measure our progress so far this year shows we are doing very well.
But, there is still more to do...
As the graph shows we still have not made our club goal. We need to have 4 new members before June 30th to achieve the goal Bob has established for our club. Ask your friends, Ask your neighbors. Invite them to a meeting...it is up to us!
Nothing happens if we don't invite folks to our meetings.
Also, the graph does not reflect the most recent Foundation donations made by members for the most recent quarter. With that donation and the one to be made in April we will be right on track with our Foundation Goal.
Our goal includes 2 new benefactors in the 2014-15 Rotary Year. So far we have 1 new benefactor thanks to Mary.

Sense & Nonsense
The Shakespeare Seat
My grandparents were taking me on a vacation to Disneyland. Grandma was excited for me when we boarded the plane, she exclaimed that I was lucky, because I got the Shakespeare seat.
"Why is it the Shakespeare seat Grandma?"
"You are in seat 2-B, so it's the Shakespeare seat."
"Don't be silly Grandma. All the seats on an airplane are Shakespeare seats."
"How do you figure that?"
"Well, it's either seat 2-B or not 2-B."
