Marty Patchen and Larry Miller, Membership Co-chairs, introduced new member, Barb Dair, to the members of the club. Barb has been an unofficial member for some time. She often joined her husband, already a member of the Byesville Rotary, to help out at fundraisers such as the club’s Breakfast with the Bunny and Breakfast with Santa.
Club members also welcomed visiting Rotarian, Daniel Kebede. He is a member of the Redman Rotary club located in Seattle, Washington. He shared details of his club’s biggest fundraiser—The Redspoke Bicycle Tour (http://www.redspoke.org/). This is a 5 day, 300 mile tour from Redmond to Spokane. Each rider must donate a minimum of $625. The tour is limited to the first 100 riders to register. According to their web-site, they have already begun planning for next year’s event and already have quite a few corporate sponsors.
During their monthly business meeting, Byesville Rotary members approved donations to the Masonic Learning Center, Cambridge Performing Arts, Rotary International Rose Parade Float, and the Dickens Victorian Village to support maintenance of the coal miner manikins at the Byesville Scenic Railway depot.
Byesville Rotary’s next meeting will be 7:30 am, August 17, at the Stop Nine Senior Center at 60313 (GPS use 60299) Southgate Road, Byesville. Anyone interested in learning more about the Byesville Rotary can call Membership Chairs Marty Patchen, 740-685-3828, or Larry Miller, 740-439-2767.
