_____________________________________________
Let's Talk about the Boo Bash!!!
You've heard us tell you to save the date, but how familiar are you with what the Boo Bash actually is?? Read on for more information!
* This is our annual fundraiser and will be replacing our spring auction.
* This is not an auction!!! This is an envelope fundraiser.
* The envelopes will be on a "Wall of Money."
* There will be envelopes from 1-300, with each envelope having the corresponding number on it.
* All guests will be able to choose an envelope (or several envelopes!) and donate the amount written on the envelope.
* For example, if I choose envelope 42, I would put in $42 in the envelope as a donation.
* Envelopes 1-250 will be at the party and available online, while envelopes 251-300 will be exclusively online, accessible for Rotarians who may not be able to make the physical party.
* There will be prizes in random envelopes, to inspire the donations. (Yes, even the envelopes online!)
* To purchase envelopes online, sign-up as a "bidder" and place your "bid" on the envelope. (Sorry, the website is through ClickBid and it's what we used for the auction. Therefore, we can't change the word "bidder" and take it out of the website!)
* Some of the prizes that are available to win are: Cash prizes, gift cards to local restaurants and businesses, Eagle Point Lodge rental, Clinton Lumberkings' Lumber Lounge - party for 10, a week at a Cabin in Michigan, Y membership for 6 months, River City Gold, Lottery tickets, and more!!!!
*We will be having a "dessert auction" where each table can bid on desserts that are being donated to the Boo Bash! Talk about a delicious reward!
* Some proceeds will be going to the Backpack Buddy Program, which we will hear about at our October 14th meeting.
* In addition to our fundraiser, we also want to have a good time!!! There will be an amazing DJ and dancing, a costume contest that our Interact students will judge, a photo booth area, and a wonderful MC.
* We will have a delicious meal and there is a cash bar, with signature Halloween cocktails. And most of all, we will have an amazing time supporting our community and our club!!!
To purchase tickets, please go to the website: www.rcc.cbo.io. Get your tickets now, the price goes up after October 18th!

Meeting Review
We had the wonderful opportunity to listen to Mike Parent, Plant Manager of the local Cordova 3M plant. As a valued economic partner with over 450 employees and 150 contractors on-site; the combined 3M generated payroll alone represents a significant amount of return for our area.
Mike first started working for 3M as an intern in 1991 following his freshman year of college. He returned to 3M for 3 more internships before attending graduate school at the University of Minnesota. Mike joined 3M in 1999 as a product development engineer. After 5 years and having led several NPI programs, Mike moved to Cordova as a black belt. Mike has had a number of manufacturing roles including Product Manager in MRD’s Cordova and Jinshan, China operations.
Mike has received numerous awards from 3M and is the author and owner of several publications and patents. He has a BS in Chemical Engineering from the University of Illinois, a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Minnesota and an MBA from the University of Iowa.
Did you know:
The manufacturing of adhesive materials at the local plant provides the capability of 3M to create over 1,000 different products of varying scopes.
You're never more than 10 feet away from 3M technology!
There are over 93,000 3M employees worldwide and 450 employees at the Cordova plant.
Production runs 24 hours/day, 7 days/week.
Cordova services 22.3 Million divisions through both value stream factories.
In 2018, they had 688 U.S. patents, with a Total of 4,208 worldwide and 117,000 in the company's history? (That's a lot of genius work there!)
Thank you, Mike, for answering all of our questions and telling us about 3M and the Cordova plant. (And thank you for the awesome goody-bags, filled with 3M products!)

Foundation Minute
Speaking on the transformational power of The Rotary Foundation 30 years ago, then Rotary International President, Paulo Costa identified the Foundation as “…the most generous expression of Rotarian generosity – a generosity that not only benefits but also brings help and cooperation to solve the problems that affect mankind.” This week’s minute report is a reaffirmation of that statement.
Paramount among the problems confronting many of the underdeveloped communities of the world is the lack of clean water. The provision of this amenity is part of The Rotary Foundation’s goal of achieving overall health among the most underprivileged citizens of the world. El Salvador suffers chronic water shortage due, in part, to degraded land and water resources. Not only that, more than 50% of the country’s water does not meet international standards for drinking. Consequently, the Rotary Club of Santa Monica, Santa Monica, CA, partnered with a Rotary club in San Salvador by contributing $40,000 toward a $255,000 clean water project.
Clean water was the casualty when incessant rain caused a dam to overflow in Lohian, India, flooding at least 20 villages and destroying the existing water filters of government schools in the affected areas. With no help coming from the government, the Rotary Club of Goraya in the state of Punjab, came to the rescue. On Sunday, September 29, the club donated water filters worth 1.50 Lakh Rupees ($2,127.36) to government schools affected by the flood. Lupinder Kumar, a club member, explained that the objective of his Rotary club “is to encourage and foster the idea of community service” and that this kind gesture would put an end to “the fear of contamination…and ensure clean drinking water for the students.”
The Rotary Club of Morgantown, NC., definitely solved one big problem when on Wednesday, September 25, it donated an educational endowment of $250,000 to North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. This took place at the Morgantown Community House during its weekly meeting. Membership Chair, Allen Van Noppen described the donation as “…perhaps the largest gift made by a Burke County civic club to anyone.”
As we look forward to October, this is hoping that Rotarians worldwide remember one of The Rotary Foundation’s area of focus, Community Development, in their club’s weekly meetings.
Yours in Rotary,
Olabisi Gwamna Ph.D
Rotary Club of Mt. Pleasant
