IN THIS ISSUE:

THIS WEEK

“Antibiotics: Friend or Foe” is the subject of Friday’s program. Chris Velicer from the UW Medical Center will discuss her research on increased risk of breast cancer with the use of antibiotics. The BBRC returns to its familiar haunts at the Glendale Country Club on Friday, with breakfast served at 7:00 a.m., followed by the weekly meeting and the program. Be prepared to contribute to Tsunami Relief. Rotary International has set up a special account called “Solidarity in South Asia.” If you want to see your contribution go to a Rotary-sponsored group, note that on the memo portion of your check. Make your check payable to the BBRC Foundation.

ADMIN CORNER

It’s our semi-annual check-up of the data you’ve provided to the club’s database. Do you have a new email? A new home or business address? Been a member of another Rotary Club before you joined the BBRC and didn’t tell us about that? (The time spent in that previous club counts toward your “Years in Rotary.”) How about letting us know about your children? Clubmate (our software program) only likes to have DD/MM/YYYY when adding family members to the database. An upgrade is easy. Just go to the Members Only section, put in your ID and Password (ask the computer to remember it for future visits), click on “Online Directory.” This will reveal the club’s directory for individual members. It is your responsibility to keep the information current. You can do so by scrolling down to the “Directory Information Form,” which asks you to fill in information that you wish upgraded. Remember to click on the “Submit” button when you’re finished and DON’T USE the ENTER key while moving around the form.

Thanks for helping us keep tabs on you. We only sell this information to various online health and financial firms WHOA! JUST KIDDING!

Tsunami Relief Plan Adopted

WorldVision The BBRC World Community Service Committee met immediately following Friday’s meeting to discuss the club’s participation in Tsunami relief. Chairman Kim Shrader told members that Rotary International has established a fund called “Solidarity in South Asia,” to which members can send contributions.

During the meeting the committee had a discussion on where to give the remaining $4,000 of the WCS budget. They discussed whether to give to one organization or give to many. They also discussed giving to R.I.’s Solidarity in South Asia fund, local relief agencies, or directly to Rotary Districts in India and Sri Lanka that had contacted the BBRC through Brian Evison.

The World Community Service Committee decided to donate $1,000 to each of the following:

The Rotary Foundation/Solidarity in South Asia

World Vision, Federal Way

NW Medical Teams, Portland

Mercy Corp, Portland

Members of the BBRC will be encouraged to donate to tsunami relief by making a personal check (or credit card) out to the “Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Foundation” and bringing it to our January 14th meeting. Every person contributing should mark “tsunami relief” on their checks. As stated by R.I., contributions will not receive Rotary Foundation recognition (Paul Harris Fellow). Through the Treasurer, the club will add the money given by our members to each of the four organizations listed above, as designated by each member.

Attending the meeting and voting to appropriate the funds were: Cyril Faulkner, John Martinka, Dean Pollock, Curt Cummings, Tom Helbling, Michael McIntosh, Howard Johnson, Steve Peters, Ruben Ladlad, Kim Shrader, Don Deasy, and Don Chandler.
