Jan Van Glabbeek returns this week
 
I have spoken to Jan a few days ago and he will be returning to San Diego this week. He has been at his home in Michigan clearing out possessions had stored there.  His home there is on 300 acres and includes barns and a lake on the property. 
 
About a week ago, there was a severe storm with high winds that uprooted around a hundred trees.  He said he had to clear fallen trees to even get out of his driveway!  Luckily there was no damage to his house, but he had to stay with a neighbor for a few days because electric service to his own home was interrupted.  He has realized that the process of getting his home and property ready to sell will take some time because of all of the work that has to be done. 
 
I told him that we missed him and would looked forward to his return.  His wife, Thea, has made steady progress on her health while he has been gone.  Family and professional help kept her safe.

Volunteers Wanted
 
I have been newsletter editor and website administrator for RB Sunrise since July 2008.  I have learned a lot about how to create stories, but the downside to my involvement is that no one else in our club is trained to take my place.  I want to teach others in the club to take over inputting data into various sections of the website.  ClubRunner is designed to have multiple members of a Rotary club maintain the information rather than one person. 
 
Since I set up our website and started to do the SunRiser 11 years ago, I have been the default person for the newsletter and website.  In order to insure that our club maintain our internal communication and keep records of what we have accomplished, other members of the club are needed to fill in the gaps that exist.
 
I want to teach several people in our club how to keep information on our website so that in the future someone else doesn't inherit a situation such as I did.  In 2008, our club records, roster and attendance records were on personal computers that were not networked.  As a result, information was not available to club members as it is now. 
 
ClubRunner makes it relatively easy to do each of the record keeping tasks that are part of the benefits the application. ClubRunner has gotten more powerful and easier to use in the last eleven years. 
 
Please consider how you can help the club by learning how to use ClubRunner. 
 
Thank you.
