 Service Above Self

 Quote  of  the  Week      What   this   country  needs   are  more  unemployed  politicians.                                    Edward  Langley    Program  Last  Week  (10-‐8)            Our   speaker   was   Rich   Kaye,  District  Governor  of  5870.  He  praised   Rotary   for   its  diversity,  but  he  would  like  to  see   more   women   and  minorities   in   the   clubs.   He  was   proud   of   its   projects  around   the   world,   and   that  most   clubs   accept   the  community   as   its  responsibility.      Rich’s  two  main  passions  are  the   Rotary   foundation   and  increasing   membership.   Rich  noted   that   our   own   district  has   seen   a   decline   in  membership  over  the  years.      Meeting  Order  Presiding:      John  Chenoweth  Prayer:      Bob  Derse  Pledge:    Herman  Knodel  4-‐Way  Test:      Boyd  Johnson      Visiting  Rotarians  Rich  Kaye-‐Killeen  Heights  Hanspeter  Tobler-‐NW  Austin  Don  Kaminsky-‐Naperville,Il.  Bob  Smith-‐Sunrise  Kevin  Hull-‐Downtown  Ron  Swain-‐Downtown
