LAST MEETING

Marshall Turner is a member of the Lakewood Foothills Ro-tary Club, a physician, and a history buff. He grew up in Ken-tucky and attending Vanderbilt University. Marshall has de-veloped a great interest in the history of the American Indian. Marshall gave a review of various interesting events and ex-periences that the Indians had as our country expanded. Horses played a big part in the history of the Indians. The Spanish in-troduced horses to the Americas. The horse completely changed the life of the Plains Indians. With the horse, the hunt-ing of the buffaloes became much more efficient and the horse became a source of wealth. He briefly described the background behind a famous Chief,

Quanah Parker. He was the son of Comanche chief Peta Nocona and Cynthia Ann Parker, a European American, who had been kidnapped at the age of nine and assimilated into the tribe. Quanah Parker also led his people on the reservation, where he became a wealthy rancher and influential in Comanche and European American society.

SPECIAL RCC REPORT

The Rotary Community Corps of Parker is so active, they almost deserve their own page in the Lamplighter. Under Kam Breitenbach’s inspired leadership, the RCC continues to grow and improve. Here is what is going on (at least what the Lamplighter is aware of): ♦ Last weekend they made blankets for the Linus Project. ♦ This Saturday, they will be supporting a car wash fundraiser at the Kwik Car Wash

near the intersection of Jordan and Lincoln. There is a real need for Rotarians to sign up for one of the four shifts between 9:45 am and3:15 pm. See Kam to sign up.

♦ The RCC members will be at the State Softball Tournament and could really use some

help in handing out Parker Rotary and the RCC. Again, see Kam for how you can help. ♦ Walmart has donated $1,000 to the RCC and gave them a discount on material purchased

or the Linus Project. ♦ The RCC has published a wonderful book titled We Are RCC! They can be purchased for

$10. The book has been well received at Rotary International and will be highlighted on the Rotary Voices Blog (http://blog.rotary.org/) on August 19th.

CLUB NEWS

THE ANNUAL GOLF BENEFIT - SEPTEMBER 9

For the nineteenth consecutive year, the Parker Rotary golf tournament will provide a significant portion of the club’s annual operating budget. Over the years, the tournament has been the single largest contributor to our budget. As with any of our major projects or fundraisers, participation by club members is essential to success, but partic-ularly for the golf benefit! And it isn’t just playing

golf.

Chairman Andy Becher will need many Rotarians to serve at the numerous func-tions on the day of the event. A great deal of effort will be required even before actu-al event. We must find sponsors, sign up golfers, and obtain donations for the silent auction, in order to assure a profit and

thus provide the means for continuing our local and international projects. Additional-ly, all members are encouraged to stay for the dinner.

THE KEY NOW IS TO GET THE MONEY THAT HAS BEEN PLEDGED!

Attend the golf committee meetings, which are held every Thursday, to find out what you can do to help. It is recognized that every member may not be comfortable approaching potential spon-sors. But we all know golfers and many of us know sponsors from previous years. Every member is aware of the terrific contributions that this club makes to the community and to the world. Money is the common enabler that allows us to do what we do. Help in any way you can. It isn’t all work, either. Come out and have a good

time golfing, working, and eating!

INTERNATIONAL NEWS

There is an upcoming trip to Lomé, Togo, West Africa on October 15-24, 2013 to participate in a polio immunization exercise, attend the 9th Annual West Africa Project Fair, and engage in a hands-on work project. There is a limited amount of space and it is expected that this trip will be filled in the next week or two.

Per Person Price: $1,689, double occupancy Program includes: Hotel accommodations, transfers, most meals, polio immuniza-tion exercise, hands-on community service field work, West Africa Project Fair reg-istration, special Rotary and fellowship events, sightseeing, etc.

This will be a like changing experience. Have you ever heard a Rotarian speak about their personal experience participating in a polio eradication exercise? These trips have a pro-found effect upon the individual. For those of you who have gone on one of these trips you know, and for those of you who have yet to enjoy this experience, you should. The experiences you have stay with you forever. You get up early in the morning, travel with local Rotarians to a village, health clinic or impoverished neighborhood, and for the next few hours, you change. Small children come up to you to say thank you. Mothers and fathers smile at you knowing that you are giving their child a chance for a better life. You meet with the leaders in the village to learn of their needs and their hopes. It is hot; it is

dusty; it makes you uncomfortable; it is exquisite. The West Africa Project Fair is endorsed by Rotary’s Reach Out to Africa Committee (ROTA), who is trying to generate greater connectivity between the African and North American Rotarians to generate greater support of the projects of Africa. Your involvement, or your club’s involvement, in this Fair would not only provide an opportunity for project support, it would also help your members to grow and to understand the benefits of being a Rotarian. Involvement in Rotary gives the ordinary Rotarian extraordinary opportunities to do things that they could never do anywhere else. This trip is just such an experience.

Forget the Stereotypes Paul Harris believed that the quickest way to destroy stereo-types was to meet and interact with people that you believe fit those stereotypes. Early Rotarians thought that Great Britain would not be fertile ground for Rotary based on stereotypes of British society. Clearly, the stereotypes were untrue, and Rotary has done very well in Great Britain. After Rotary had penetrated into Canada, Great Brit-ain seemed in the eyes of optimism to be waiting just around the corner. The pessimists were, nevertheless, running true to form. To them, the hope of winning the British to the movement was sheer naïveté. The British were caste-ridden, and far too cold. Fancy Sir John becoming chummy with a retail tradesman, his greengrocer, for instance. Time has revealed, however, that the Briton is not so stratified as was supposed. Sir John has shown himself human and deeply interested in the problems which confront his fellow-members, whether their stations be high or low.

RIBI

The structure of Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland (RIBI)

forms an interesting chapter in our history. In 1914, after Rotary expanded

across the Atlantic to Great Britain and Ireland, a British Association of Ro-

tary Clubs was established as part of the International Association of Rotary

Clubs. During World War I there was little contact between the international clubs, and the British associ-

ation held the small number of Rotary clubs together in Great Britain, Ireland and a few other European

communities.

Following the war, a new Rotary International Constitution was adopted in 1922 which established the

principle that whenever a country had 25 Rotary clubs it could become a "territorial unit" and thus have a

representative on the RI board and receive other specific powers. The clubs in Great Britain and Ireland

immediately petitioned for and received the status of a "territorial unit." No other group in the world made

such a request or received that status.

In 1927 Rotary International terminated the territorial unit concept and organized Rotary clubs by "areas"

of the world. However, all of "the rights, privileges and powers of existing territorial units" were forever

protected and perpetuated. Thus, since RIBI was the only territorial unit, it has continued to function as

an independent unit of Rotary International, subject to certain approvals by the RI Constitution.

The RIBI form of administration is uniquely appropriate

to Great Britain and Ireland because of geography, lan-

guage, tradition and custom. Because of this historic

relationship, RIBI maintains a slightly different adminis-

trative structure from all the other Rotary clubs and dis-

tricts in the world, even though it is a full member of

Rotary International.

A GARY MERAZ TRUE STORY

The tale is told of Boudreaux, out on the bayou, fishing by dropping sticks of dynamite over the side, waiting for the “boom” and scooping the fish out with a net. After he’d done this four or five times, the game warden came out and said,

“Boudreaux, you know you ain’t s’posed to be fishin’ that way.” Boudreaux paid him no mind. Lighting up another stick of dynamite, he handed it to the game warden and said, “you gonna talk or you gonna fish?”

TODAY IN HISTORY 1814 Andrew Jackson assumes command of American troops at New Orleans during

the War of 1812. 1846 The first newspaper in California, the Californian, is launched in Monterey. 1914 The Panama Canal is officially opened to traffic. 1939 MGM’s The Wizard of Oz premieres at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Holly
