Anonymous The Rushville Republican Thu Oct 30, 2008, 08:17 PM EDT

Tuesday meeting of the Rushville Rotary Club includes a bit of a twist at the top.

President Norm Voiles announced he was allowing President-elect Jason Clemmons the opportunity to practice and handed off the coveted gavel.

So, President-elect Jason called the meeting to order. Kathy Lienemann led in the Pledge of Allegiance and Kevin Snyder provided an opening prayer.

Markus Strobl was the Mystery Person. He awarded the free lunch to Bill Griffis, essentially because Bill is a good Rotarian who puts in a lot of time and effort for the club and the community.

Shelly King coordinated Brag for a Buck.

President Norm again bragged about grandson Mitch Tuttle, the Greensburg Pirates’ outstanding quarterback. Kevin Green boasted about Saturday’s Shrine Club breakfast from 6 to 11 a.m. at the RushShelby Energy Community Building. Kathy Lienemann bragged on Dusty Flannery, noting State Farm Insurance was very prompt in providing assistance she needed to repair the damaged windshield in a rental car she recently was making use of. Chip West wasn’t present so Bill Todd bragged about Penn State football. Christy Welch paid $1 to report Miller’s Merry Manor was hosting safe trick-or-treating from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday. She also bragged on Shelly King and Nancy Rice; both ladies celebrated birthdays Wednesday. Finally, Shelly K. reported that despite some airline-related setbacks she would soon be enjoying a sunny Jamaican vacation.

Sergeant-at-Arms Dr. John Williams was in rare form.

He fined everyone (Kevin Snyder) $1 who had recently bragged to someone about having the “catch of the day” following a fishing trip. Everyone (Shelly K.) who recently changed vacation plans involving travel outside the United States had to pay 50 cents. All with an October birthday or anniversary had to pay 25 cents. And, all who work in a financial institution of some kind were made to pay 25 cents.

With business out of the way, lunch enjoyed and quarters doled out it was time for the weekly program.

Pam Leisure introduced Rush County resident and farmer Tom Tully, who is also the Agriculture Department Chairman at Ivy Tech State College in Richmond.

The school’s ag program is a new effort being offered in conjunction with Purdue University.

The Richmond campus currently offers two ag-related degrees and Tully said it is his hope that number will be expanded in the near future.

Tully noted that Ivy Tech offers these programs at about half the cost other state-supported colleges and universities do and that Ivy Tech has 26 campuses located throughout the state.

Tully encourages anyone with questions about the ag programs available at Ivy Tech Richmond to contact him at 1-800-659-4562; (765) 966-2656 ext. 1115; ttully4@ivytech.edu; or visit www.ivytech.edu/richmond.
