FRANCE; More than 300 people gathered in Is-sur-Tille in
November to unveil a stone memorial honoring U.S. soldiers
who fought in France during World War I. A project of the
Rotary Club of Dijon-Toison d'Or, the monument incorporates
a sound system that plays four minutes in English and French
about the U.S. Army camp and supply depot that stood in the
town. More than two million men and four million tons of supplies
passed through the camp between 1917 and 1920.

April 27: Meeting Highlights:
Jim Scott has more Rubber Duckie fundraiser tickets for anyone who would like more. President Elect Ann Crandall talked about May being the month for Relay for Life. Each member was given a plastic bottle in which to save dimes and other monies for the program, which will be held May 29-30 at Polk High School. Ann is looking for $5-$10 from each member. Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of death in the U.S. The American Cancer Society has come up with many kinds of treatment for cancer, and the survival rate is now up to 80%. Childhood leukemia treatment is now 85% successful. Dharmesh has cut a slot in his bottle so it will accept coins larger than a dime. PSNC, Jack Holmes' employer, donates $2,000 to Relay for Life each year; Polk and Rutherfordton counties each getting $1,000. The Bike Tour is our most productive fundraiser of the year. Jim Scott has sent letters to previous participants asking them to be sponsors this year. Chuck Britton has sponsorship forms for anyone who needs more.
