Do you want to lead a GSE team to Bolivia in early 2010?
District 5030 is looking a team leader for a month-long Group Study Exchange to Bolivia in April-May of 2010. The team leader should be fluent in Spanish and head a team of 4-5 non-Rotarian young professionals from the Seattle area for a fascinating experience. Ask past team leader Gary Zimmerman about his experience. Applications are due September 14, 2009, and can be found at gse.rotary5030.org.
Do you know of any non-Rotarian young professionals who’d be great for GSE in early 2010?
District 5030 is looking for 4-5 young professionals (ages 25-40) currently not in Rotary who are interested in developing professional and leadership skills during a month-long Group Study Exchange to Bolivia. Anticipated dates are April 11-May 9, 2010. All costs are covered by Rotary. If you know of someone who would benefit from such an exchange have them check out gse.rotary5030.org. Applications are due October 12, 2009, and can be found at this website.
Keep looking for the cowbell on your table (there are 5 of them) to bump others' fines, and remember to bring your ticket stubs from arts attendance — museums, theatres, music, etc. — as putting one in the basket is allowed in lieu of a fine. Click here to let your Sergeant at Arms know of a fellow Rotarian’s fineable antics.

Calling All Bellevue Rotary Photogs!
Leslie Lloyd
We’re taking extra effort to document our activities for the coming year – and for posterity!
Please submit your photos from fellowship or service activities, such as Camp Goodtimes, President’s Celebration, Rotary First Harvest, Fireside, golf outings – any and all events of the Bellevue Rotary Club. We will use them for the District Assembly in Portland next year, and they will also be preserved for all time by our resident historian, Stu Vander Hoek.
It’s simple: all you have to do is email your digital images to:
Be sure to include the names of all the people in each photo.
If you’d prefer, you can copy your photos to a CD or thumb drive and give them to Leslie Lloyd at a Rotary meeting.
With your help, the BRC will have a rich display of club activities for next year’s conference – and for all time
.
