THIS WEEK's PROGRAM

GSE Team from India

Central India in the Kerala area is sending a team of five people to speak to the Bellevue Rotary Club. The group team leader is Rotarian Venu Menon, of the Rotary Club of Muvattupuzha. He is a commodity broker, with a background in manufacturing. He is especially interested in learning more about the promotion of tourism.

Accompanying Venu is Kavitha Jain, who manages an academy named Attitude teaching team building and brand building; Balu Subramanian, a member of the advertising division of media conglomerate Bennett, Coleman & Co., Ltd.; Kishore, an active member of Rotaract who is also active in media and design; and Parashar Pandya, who owns a company named Biofonics, which involves health care professionals.

Bellevue Rotary is fortunate, due to our strong support of the Group Study Exchange program in our District, in having GSE groups visit our club almost yearly. This year two groups will be visiting our area from India and southwest France.

Camp Goodtimes Offers Two Sessions — Need Volunteers!

SAVE THE DATE!
It is almost summer, when we can think about going to camp, and the wonderful, wild Rotary Camp Goodtimes Carnival will be held Thursday, July 2. Plan to spend the day on Vashon Island helping kids with cancer have a great day.  The kids tell us the Rotary carnival is the highlight of their summer.  It might be yours, too.  Don't miss it! Contact
Charlotte Ellis for more information.

Camp Goodtimes is now offering 2 sessions: June 28-July 4 and July 26-August 1. We expect over 200 children with cancer to come to camp this year. For this to happen, we need 140 volunteers and have been working very hard to find applicants. If you have kids over 18, friends, or employees who might be available either week, ask them to go to www.campgoodtimeswest.org to apply on line.

In addition to cabin counselors, we need program staff and support staff. The camp is on nearby Vashon Island, the cabins are modern, the beach is wonderful, and everyone who comes has a great week. Contact Charlotte Ellis for more information.
