The class then <br /> would tabulate the findings and send the surveys back to us. A suggestion was made to <br /> put the question of why the students idn't plan on participating. An example might be the <br /> cost or insurance needed for participation.

The report is attached and <br /> will be discussed at the November meeting. <br /> Update of Events <br /> Al King reported that he will be attending the Soccer America Expo in December to help <br /> market the Rotary tournament. <br />
