Mark Kulaas introduced the speaker but first gave an update on the Rotary Park Peace Pole project, displaying photos (which are displayed on our website) and presenting a fund-raising status report. We have raised approx. $80K of the estimated $102,000 total cost, but we also hope to replenish the Rotary capital account with about $23K. To aid in this effort, there are several basalt colonnades for sale, along with name recognition on the plaza sign and some commemorative tiles which can display your name, graphics, or logo. For questions, comments, complaints, compliments, or palm readings, contact Mark or Ken Robertson.

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS ROTARY?
Sponsored by the Wenatchee Valley Musuem and Cultural Center.
Nile Saundersdonated the steam train and 10-inch gauge railroad track to the city of Wenatchee in 1988. Saunders ran the train on his pear orchard property in Peshastin for his son and other neighborhood children before donating it, Cheek said. The train made its first run at its current location at Riverfront Park in 1989. "They used to have to haul up 12 sections of track and put it together while they were steaming up the engine and putting all the cars on the track," Sleeman said about how maintenance used to work. "Then, they'd run around, take everything down and put it all away." Wenatchee Rotary Club raised over $13,000 to help make a railroad display including a depot and a station to park the train. The Train is operated through the Museum.
