BUILDING COMMUNITIES AUCTION UPDATE
Auction! Auction! Auction!
We need the Rotary members and the community to help make the 2019 auction a success. The committee has set a goal of $125,000 net to help build communities in the Wenatchee Valley! Ever wonder what the money raised will be used for? This is a short list of how we will use the proceeds from the Auction 2019.
Lincoln Park BMX Track and 2nd Picnic Shelter
Wenatchee Rotary Foundation (Scholarship Fund)
Rotary Park
Interact Club Service Project
Community Service Committee Grants; past projects include Library, Westside HS, Pybus Foundation, and Chelan County K9 unit
As you can see we do many projects impacting a variety of interests; funds stay in our community.
I encourage you to get involved.
Here is just one of many Rotary Auction Success stories :
Joe St Jean presented earlier this June on some of the previous students who have been awarded the Rotary Scholarship. Our Rotary Club awards students over $20,000 to students every year. Part of the proceeds from this year's auction will be going towards our scholarship fund to continue awarding scholarships to deserving students in the coming years. With your help and support for the auction these and many more students will be able to receive a higher education with less student loan debt.
Veronica Garnica - WSU - CLASS OF 2020; BUSINESS DEGREE

Chloe Crasson, our Rotary Youth Exchange (RYE) student this year from Belgium, gave a presentation about her home country, family, and interests, and future plans. She used an excellent, polished and colorful PowerPoint to illustrate her information with lots of interesting history, politics, maps and photos. View Chloe's PowerPoint here.
Belgium has 3 prominent languages, German, French, Dutch. Chloe was educated in German, but speaks 3 languages. Her hometown is Deiffelt, population 113. She ended her talk with a hilarious YouTube video called Belgium for Dummies (click to watch).
In the photo, Chloe inspects the PolioPlus certificate received from President Pete with her friend Alina, RYE student from Finland by way of Confluence Rotary. Two other RYE students were at the head table, Joseph (France, Sunrise Club), and Julia (Germany, AFS).
After her talk, she had rush back to WHS to make the bus for the girls' basketball team, for which she is the manager!
Did you know Chloe has a wish list? See it below and at our meeting, and make her wishes reality.
Notice to Appleseed readers. This section in future editions will be reduced in scope to save time and space. Since audio is being provided, program details are available by listening or watching the PowerPoint. Any member preferring a detailed written summary, may volunteer to be a weekly reporter. This approach was suggested by the Board of Directors in discussion on Nov. 15.
