NORTH SCOTT ROTARY AT DISTRICT ASSEMBLY

North Scott Rotary was represented at the District 6000 District Training Assembly on March 28 at Newton by Paul Seelau and Bill Tubbs. Starting July 1, Paul will be co-chair of the District Interact Committee with Nancy Pacha of Iowa City. Paul and Nancy gave a short talk about Interact as part of the training, which included modules on numerous Rotary programs for club leaders. Bill is the District Vocational Service Chair and gave a brief talk about Vocational Service.

LAST MEETING – April 10, 2015 – North Scott Boys Championship Team Coach Shamus Budde and assistant Stephan Nass are extremely proud of the seven seniors on the championship North Scott Basketball team. Trey, Grant, Ricky, Tanner, Miles, Cortez and Marlon are so much more than basketball players, they are excellent citizens of the community. NSHS was represented very well in Des Moines at the state tournament. The team made history for North Scott, as they took home the top trophy. Shamus has taught at Ed White Elementary for 12 years. He has been the head basketball coach for 8 years and has had a winning record for the past 6 years. Stephan is employed full time by the FBI and is a volunteer motivator for the team and coaching staff. He is also a Chaplin for FCA. Glen Keppy asked members to complete the committee sheets for next year----otherwise you may be stuck on a committee, you don’t want to serve on. Eric Langan was the sergeant and col-lected $82 in fines. He had the basketball team shooting baskets with a nerf basketball. If they made it, each table had to pay. Seventy five were present on Friday, including guests, Tim Lane from Bettendorf Rotary, Jim Lafrenz, guest of Ken Tank and Jerry Trimble, guest of Jan Trimble.
