We present Charlie Ellington as a Honorary Member
As we voted Charlie Ellington in as an Honorary Member of North Pole Rotary Club today, I thought I would provide the following information from the Manual of Procedure on Honorary Membership. I think we all agree Charlie has definitely distinguished himself accordingly with our club! Michelle, I've completed a form for Charlie and will send your way. Michelle will also order Charlie a badge. Here's to our first Honorary Member, and very deservedly so!

Margarita Bell Awarded Paul Harris Fellow
Last year Margarita Bell received her Paul Harris Fellow, but never received her three emblems of a Paul Harris Fellow: the certificate, pin and medallion. We corrected that at the June 4th meeting. Congratulations Margarita and thank you for supporting the Foundation. The gentleman on the left is past North Pole Rotarian and president of our club, Ed Ruff. Ed is visiting Alaska for his annual summer/fall fishing and hunting trip.
June 6th 1230pm
Pamela Harrison announced at Rotary today she will be at City Hall to begin planting at our Larry Swenson Memorial Rose Garden beginning around 12:30P THIS Friday, June 6. If you have time and can come help, that would be wonderful. Shouldn't take too long. Thanks to Pamela for planning, purchasing and planting the garden! And thank you Joanne, for your donation of wild roses. Past Rotarian Larry Swenson loved roses and chaired our rose sale for several years.
If you're so inclined, Hazel Rosendahl of the North Pole Gardening Club has been at City Hall these past evenings and will be there Friday night as well and would appreciate any help you'd like to give them.

North Pole Rotary Fellowship Program
We are starting a monthly fellowship opportunity for our North Pole Club. Rotarian Dave has generously offered his home for these gatherings. Mark your calendar for the fourth Tuesday of every month, beginning at 6:30P. Directions to Dave’s will be sent out later. Why get together? Whether you are a brand new member, maybe just in the club for a year or two, or seasoned members, we all enjoy a little wind down after work. But it’s also a time for us, and our spouses/partners if they’d like to join us, to learn more about Rotary, what our Club does and why, and get to know each other better. It’s an opportunity to ask questions, to continue to educate ourselves, and just enjoy each others company. Plus, these will count as makeup's! Stay tuned for more information!
