Ray Keller from Wiener, Arkansas Inspires Group

What a treat today to hear Ray Keller speak. His son Travis is one of our own. Ray says he joined Rotary in Jonesboro, Arkansas the year Travis was born and hasn't looked back. He gave a rousing testimony to the significance of Rotary in the World. It was a great boost for all of us and I think members new to Rotary will have gotten a better sense of how important Rotary is to the world at large. Ray is District Governor this year for his corner of Arkansas and we thank him for taking time out from a busy business and Rotary schedule to come speak to us. By the way Travis and I both lettered in basketball at Florida College a Church of Christ affiliated school in Tampa. I doubt Travis' team could better the record of our team the year I played. We lost every game! I know what you're thinking.

District Governor Terry Shockley Visits

Terry and his wife Jo visited us today from the Frankfort Club. Terry presented a power point presentation outlining the work and objectives of Rotary. He talked about what modern society might be like without Rotary. He mentioned a shocking statistic that 30,000 children die EACH DAY from largely preventable disease. The International Rotary President D.K. Lee from South Korea wants Rotarians around the globe to focus on the welfare of children. We are very close to eliminating Polio and with the help of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation may actually bring that goal to fruition soon. Terry served as an Assistant District Governor with our own Bob Kleier some years ago. Bob tells me that the year of being District Governor requires a great deal of travelling and although he does have an expense allowance the Governor is still out quite a bit of money from his own pocket. Thank you Terry for making such a commitment and thank you for a job well done.
