Rotary enjoys visit from DG
Rushville Rotary met Tuesday at the Park Restaurant. President Jason Clemmons called the meeting to order. Dr. Fred Philips led the Pledge of Allegiance. Kevin Snyder gave an opening prayer.
There were a couple guests in attendance. Nikki Nickels was introduced by Christy Welch and Leota King, a member of the Connersville club and our District’s Assistant Governor, joined us.
Chris May was the Mystery Person. He gave the free lunch to Kevin Snyder, noting that Kevin and his wife were dedicated to their work-out programs.
It was noted that Dr. Philips had two make-ups to his credit.
Shelly King was next with Brag for a Buck. Dr. Philips paid $1 to welcome District 6560 Governor Judy Hollander and to report he and his wife recently celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary. Nancy Rice bragged on her sister-in-law, Cinda Brown, who was recently recognized as one of Indiana’s most inspiring women at a WNBA basketball game. Markus Strobl bragged about last week’s high water having receded and on his oldest daughter, who will soon travel to Germany to visit relatives and attend a family wedding. Bill Ward bragged on Milroy’s Aug. 22 community celebration and invited everyone to come on down. Finally, Paul Barada Jr. announced that on Sept. 23 Rush County Victims Assistance, Inc. is bringing noted pianist Steve Hall to town for a fundraiser concert at Center Christian Church.
Sergeant-At-Arms Dr. John Williams was next up to do his thing. He fined Bill Todd for taking up 2.5 seats, preventing Dr. J from making his rounds to collect quarters. Paul Barada Jr. was penalized for “working the crowd” on his way in to the meeting. Bill Ward was exempted from any fines in honor of Milroy’s planned celebration. Julie Smith was penalized 25 cents just because she’s Julie. Finally, everyone not wearing a Rotary lapel pin was made to pay.
President Jason shared thank you notes from scholarship recipients CJ West and Jessica Bostic.
Chip West asked for the club’s assistance in providing and serving snacks one evening next summer when the Group Workcamps folks come to town. He was assured some help would be forthcoming.
Next up was program chair President Jason, who introduced District 6560 Governor Judy Hollander.
Hollander is a retired teacher who has been a member of the Attica/Williamsport Rotary Club since 1995.
She shared her goals for the coming Rotary year, which reflect the goals set for at the International level as well.
Those goals include Rotary’s continued fight to eliminate polio from the face of the planet, the promotion of literacy throughout the world, an ongoing effort to provide clean and safe drinking water in Third World countries, and addressing health and hunger issues where ever they exist.
She also reminded everyone that District conference will be held the first weekend in May on the north side of Indianapolis and encouraged everyone, and especially new members, to attend if possible.
She also shared plans involving a partnership with Heifers International. The plan here is to send cows, sheep, llamas, water buffalo, goats, ducks, geese, rabbits and pigs to areas of Honduras in Central America that are in need of assistance.
DG Hollander reminded all Rotarians that this year’s international theme is “The Future Is In Your Hands” and encouraged one and all to take that message to heart.
