A major project during the year, sponsored by "Kuch" Kuchenreuther and "Chris" Christenson and approved by the Board of Directors, was the High School Band Uniforms. The contribution of $1,000 by the Rotary Club started the drive which raised nearly $4600 to completely outfit the high school band in new uniforms.

The major emphasis of the year was on youth. The club sponsored boys to Scout A Vista, to boys camp, made a donation to Junior League Baseball, donated a sum to the Salvation Army Camp, helped with money and personnel in the Kiddies' Easter Egg Hunt, participated in the Children's Halloween Jamboree with both money and personnel to direct activities, and secured the help of 20 carpenters who gave one full day at Scout A Vista.

Outstanding programs brought us Sam Fraser, long-time head of the International Apple Association of Rochester, New York; Dr. Donald Nylen of the University of Washington speaking on Russian-American relations; Dr. George Strayer of Columbia University for a report on his analysis of the state school system; Jock Ridland, the British Consul, talking about India; Judge Matt Hill of Seattle; Dr. J. Hoover Macklin, telling about the origin of Grand Coulee; S. W. Schlobohm, a business man of China for 20 years and a member of the Shanghai Rotary Club; John Show, former member of our club and now Superintendent of Schools in Spokane; Dr. Max von Brevern of the University of Washington talking about "the Near East in International Relations." All these, of course, were enhanced by very excellent talks from our own members.

This year we moved back to the Columbia Hotel. The first half of the year we held our meetings in the Cascadian, the second half in the newly refinished dining room of the Columbia Hotel. The luncheon price was raised from 75¢ to 85¢.

Several outstanding meetings were held with the Presidents of the Kiwanis and Lions Clubs as special guests. The election of Vice President for 1947-48 resulted in such a close vote the first two times that it required a third ballot to elect Don Phipps.

During this year Rotarian Art Pohlman was elected Mayor of Wenatchee and Ken Sexton was elected County Commissioner. Dave Jones was elected to the State Legislature.
