District Assembly - THIS SATURDAY - April 21st
As part of Jim Flaherty's upcoming year as District Governor, our Club is the hosting Club for this year's District Assembly.  This means we are responsible for organizing and running the event.  We will need as much help as we can get from all Sunrise Rotarians.  The date is this Saturday, April 21st and it will be held at Westerville North High School.  The Assembly is in the morning and will end by 1:00 p.m.

The Assembly is a great way for new members to learn more about Rotary.  We encourange you to attend to learn more about Rotary rather than volunteering to help.

On the day of the Assembly we will need volunteers to help direct people, handle refreshments, help with lunch, help with clean up, etc.

Please contact Larry Jenkins or Denny Berrier to let them know how you can help.

Pancake Breakfast - April 29th
Our annual pancake breakfast will be held on Sunday, April 29th at the Westerville Senior Center.  Tickets were available at last week's meeting.  If you haven't picked up your tickets yet or signed up for a shift please contact Jeff Barstow or Gary Minter.

Golf League
The Golf League needs one more player for the first half only.  Ideal handicap for nine holes would be around 12.  No reasonable golfer refused.  If interested, contact Jim Flaherty or Glen Epting.

Jim Flaherty - Boston Marathon
If anyone wants to track Jim Flaherty's time on Monday, his Bib Number is 11600.  The website is www.baa.org.  The weather prediction is 42 degrees, rain and 20 mph winds.  Finishing is Jim's priority rather than setting a personal best time.  Good luck, Jim!

Spring Elementary Leadership Summit
On Friday, May 18th, volunteers will be needed to assist in facilitating three sessions during the Elementary Leadership Summit.  This is a one-day summit for the student representatives, grades 3-5, from all Westerville elementary schools who attended the Fall 2006 summit.

Session facilitators are needed from 8:30 a.m. until approximately 2:45 p.m.  Volunteers will be in charge of working with up to 10 kids in grades 3-5.  Facilitators will receive training from 8:30 to 9:15 on the lesson they will be responsible for facilitating.  A clear, easy to follow lesson plan will be provided and volunteers will have an opportunity to practice the lesson prior to attendees arriving.  Sessions last 35 mintues each and the facilitator will repeat the session three times to three different groups of kids.  Lunch is provided at no charge for all facilitators.  Session topics focus on communication, team roles, and problem-solving/decision making.

If you would like to volunteer or need more information please contact Dr. Scott Ebbrecht at 797-7200 or ebbrechs@wcsoh.org.
