Rotary Informer

Four Way Test:  Thank you Robert Rogier.

 

Invocation:  Thank You Anne McDevitt for the following:

Steve Jobs:  “Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes…The ones who see things differently – they’re not fond of rules…They push the human race forward, and while some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

Think:  The eradication of polio.

 

Visiting Rotarians:  There were no visiting Rotarians this week.

 

Life Events:  Happy 29^th Birthday to Chris Etienne and congratulations to new Grandpa; Jim Beno.

 

Song of the Week:  “Do Wah Diddy” If Manfred Mann only knew what a crowd pleaser this song still is.  My mother only let me sing the “corrected grammar version”.  “I knew we was (were) falling in love.”

Today we paid tribute to those persons who helped make Career Day a successful event. This program is put together every year by BJ Shawn for the 6^th, 7^th and 8^th graders in our community.  Counselors Colleen Pattullo and Dana Ashton explained to us how students need to interact with adults and learn that education will break down, among other things, the cycle of poverty. Career Day helps students to simply reflect on “What am I good at?  And what is out there for me?”  BJ Shawn and the entire Club would like to thank the following persons who gave of their time and shared their expertise:

 

 

Again, Many Thanks!
