Announcements
(notes courteous of the unconventional and unorthodox Paul Conforti)

September 24th: Champaign Club’s Action Auction including tickets to the Illinois v. Purdue football game on November 17. The tickets will be for the Colonnade Club and includes premium parking.

September 29 is the planned CU Sunrise tailgate event (no gloves please) before the Illini take on Penn State in the Big 10 opener.

October 18th meeting we will have Illinois Men’s Varsity Basketball Coach John Groce as our speaker. We will have a larger room and this would be an excellent meeting to bring a guest and/or prospective member.

December 13th is the tentative date for our club’s holiday party.

Mary Hodson announced she would like our club to explore the possibility of adding an international project to aid in her trip to Honduras which is open to all members as a service project.

Paul Harris Fellow: The club will match up to $500 towards any members quest to become a Paul Harris Fellow.

There was no program this week.  Instead, President Jeff conducted a club assembly that focused solely on membership.
