Anchorage II

There are a lot of Rotary Clubs in Anchorage..

Wednesday I visited Anchorage East... sorry... the pictures did not turn out.  The program was on  the new news station in Anchorage.. and all the biggies from Channel 11 News were there and presented a very interesting program..  I did get my opportunity to present the the Club Banner and  talk about the Foundation and my trip.  This club is also pretty big and is really active.  Was able to touch base with a couple of members that I have worked with in the past.  Ventus Plumme from the old days of Youth Exchange and Paul McGuire the M/C at past conferences.  Also saw PDG Caroline Jones.

Wednesday evening I met up with the Mid-Town Club at Chilkoot Charlies... interesting place to have a meeting.. the club is small and informal.  Here is a picture.  I was invited to do the program.

Next, I headed for Girdwood Rotary, they meet in the Alyeska Hotel.  Nice digs..
Small group and an interesting program on a south Sudan Health Clinic Rotary partners project.

Banner Exchange with Girdwood.

Girdwood makes the 21 club visits on the Alaska Campaign.   Every Rotary Club has been welcoming and warm and all clubs have given me time to expain what I am doing and allowing me time to campaign for the Rotary Foundation.
Today at the Anchorage South meeting  Rotarians were presented to  program on the Providence Hospital Services and Health System.  The morning meeting had a program on Club Membership and Retention.
Today was a full day with three club visits.   I visit my last Anchorage Club tomorrow at the Gateway Club.

I have had a chance to explore the Anchorage area.. I must say it is a very easy town to navigate.  Wide street and many one way with lots of parks and parking is pretty easy and acessable.
