Rotarian Peter Duenkelsbuehler
passed away in August
With great sadness we must report that Peter Duenkelsbuehler, a long time Rotarian since 1964 passed away in August. Peter has been unable to attend meetings for a number years due to health issues. Those of us who knew Peter, remember him and a kind, carrying and gentle person who was a dedicated Steward of the environment with a passion for the nature around him. I first met Peter in the mid 80's when he owned and operated a fallow deer farm near New Hope Mills, and through him, I became a close acquaintance of a long time friend of his during my year's stay Hechingen, Germany. Peter is survived by his wife Mari Theres. He will be missed by all of us who knew him. .....by Ward
PRESIDENTS' CORNER... by Pres., Doug Powell
Cathy and I are in hot and sunny Texas and will be back for the meeting Thursday 10/17. The area west of Houston is green, lush, and not at all like the deserts of the southwest. I would like to thank Bill Conole for all his hard work in keeping the schedule of speakers going. This has been a lot of work and going back and forth mixing and matching schedules. I have been very pleased with the variety and content of the talks. I invite anyone who has any suggestions as to proposed speakers to let Bill know. We will have three new members shortly. The club members have been finding new good prospects and we certainly want to thank them and encourage all members to look to their neighbors and co-workers to invite. Upcoming events include the dictionary and thesaurus give away at the school. Haunted hallways is on 10/31 when we will have no meeting at the Sherwood. Also upcoming is the 10/19 district conference in Oswego. Many plan to attend. The setting is gorgeous Oswego. Join us.
WHAT's in a WORD?Galumph - describes a person moving very clumsily. i.e. Ward with his cane.

Shelter Box thank you for our club's purchase of a Shelter Box to aid in the Dorian aftermath in the Bahamas.
Haunted Hallways: Since Halloween is on a Thursday this year there will be no regular club meeting so that Rotarians can either assist with Haunted Hallways at the HS Commons or stay home and greet witches and goblins.

October 24th is "World Polio Eradication Day". John Gilly from the sunshine Rotary Club will speak about polio.
It was with sadness that Peter Duenkelbuehler's passing in August of this year was noted. Peter was a member of the club for 55 years.

Club Programs - Robin & Craig made a plea to include more local governance & infrastructure updates & projects in our programing. It was pointed out that club members should be active in recruiting speakers that they feel would be of interest and coordinate that effort with our program chair, Bill Conole.
