President Steve Tolley announced the annual Provo Rotary Charity Golf Tournament, called the Rotary Festival Classic which will be held Monday, June 20, 2010 at Riverside Country Club. This is the club's annual fund-raising event for charity. The lunch that day will replace the regular Thursday lunch for that week. Please put this on your calendar and think of a business who can help sponsor this event.

Stan Miller introduced a new member of our club, Ethan Shumway, community relations director for the Urban South Region of Intermountain Healthcare. Ethan is filling the spot previously held by Bryant Larsen who has been transferred by Intermountain to a new position at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray. Welcome Ethan!

Rotary District 5420 (Utah) is sponsoring a "Torch Run" in late April or early May to help raise funds to continue the effort to eradicate polio. More later.

Craig Carlile served as sergeant for the day and auctioned a quilt hand-made and donated by Tamara Tolley with proceeds going to the Provo Rotary Charitable Foundation.

Tom Powell introduced speaker Burke Hoffman and Trevor Hansen of Metech Recycling. This company specializes in recycling electronic equipment which would otherwise end up in landfills. Last year they recycled around 50,000 tons of electronic waste. Forty percent of lead in US landfills comes from discarded CRT monitors. Around 65 million PC computers become obsolete in the US each year. Many businesses contract with Metech to recyle their old electronics. RC Willey will receive an old TV when a new one is sold and recylcle the old one through Metech. It is illegal for a business to dispose of electronics in the garbage.
