WELCOME THREE POINT SENIORS!
Wow! Are we proud to have you here today. Congratulations to you, your teachers, your parents, and the friends and neighbors who helped you reach this milestone.
ROTARY GUEST NIGHT LOOMS EVER CLOSER!
Get ready for our special "Guest Night." It's going to be a reprise of last year's venture to New Era Church. The show is "Hot Mikado" on Thursday, May 22. Dinner is chicken breast, parsley potatoes, a green vegetable, salad, rolls, dessert and a beverage. Pricing is on the brochures on each table. This is a FAMILY APPROPRIATE show so you can bring your children and grandchildren. The Trolley can take you from the Holiday Inn to the church if you like at no extra charge. ---- By the way, "The Mikado" by Gilbert and Sullivan (this is the same show with some more modern music) is one of the funniest shows Gilbert and Sullivan wrote.
THIS WEEK'S ROTARY QUOTE
No quote from Gary, so your editor has some
On rule and service
"The strong man is a man who feels his responsibility and accepts in a spirit of humility. Such a man has the elements of greatness in him and will overcome every obstacle and every handicap."
On friends
"The real friend is the man who knows all about you and loves you in spite of it."
"All friends are rare; wise friends are rarer; but foolish friends are worse than enemies."
- Francis Clement Kelley, Bishop of Oklahoma 1924-1948

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Normal flak about member guest night. You know the drill.
Today's Rotary Moment - The ideal of service is needed as much today as it was on that cold February night over a century ago when Rotary began. As Rotarians celebrate their gift to the world with the eradication of polio through the Polio Plus Program, they know they dare not rest their heads on the pillows of self satisfaction. Peace among warring nations, drugs, illiteracy, disease, poverty, hunger, homelessness, the environment - all present Rotarians with opportunities for service in the years ahead. It is hard to imagine Rotary ever not being needed
Here's some really bad stuff.
A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre.
After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings and made it safely to his van. However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied, "Monsieur that is the reason I stole the paintings.
I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh.
So you see, I had nothing Toulouse!!!
Upcoming Program Chairs are:
July - DeWayne Hopkins
August - Barb Krall
