March 23rd Speaker: Darci Neuzil Darci Neuzil is the Deputy Director for the Addison Airport and she will be speaking about the economic impact of aviation on North Texas. Darci has traveled to Washington to speak about this topic and we will have much to learn from her about how aviation in general and the Addison Airport in particular have an impact. Past Speaker: Polly Weidenkopf Polly Weidenkopf came to speak to us about her passion and her mission in life. ReserveAid. Polly is ex-military and has a lot of experience in helping our men and women in the military that get lost in the cracks and need our help. Over 40% of the reservers are serving in Iraq. Salary reductions for reservists are more greatly felt (as most had good paying jobs before being deployed, and often they come back injured and cannot resume their careers or their employers have gone out of business when they return). ReserveAid is not a hand out it is a hand up, they help keep their homes out of foreclosure, their vehicles from being repossessed. They will help with all bills (except credit cards). ReserveAid was started in 2006 by a unit trying to raise funds just for their unit, then they grew to raising funds just for New York and now they are a national organization. If you are interested in how you can help ReserveAid, check out their web site. For more information check their web site at www.reservaid.org March 16th: Easter Baskets after the meeting! We met after the meeting to put Easter Baskets together. We had a great time making 100 children at Captain Hope's Kids very, very happy on Easter. We had an abundance of candy and treats and bunny glasses for all the kids. Thank each and every one of you who stayed to help us put together the baskets!
Upcoming Events: JK Harris, Entrepreneur and Author JK Harris is a highly respected and accomplished entrepreneur who has founded or purchased more than 18 companies in his 30-year business career. His goal is to share what he knows so that you can get our business on the fast-track to success and achievement. Flashpoint: Seven Core Strategies for Rapid-Fire Business Growth is only the beginning - there's much more ahead. Stay tuned! Upcoming Events: GSE Team is Coming and We Need Your Help! The Rotary Group Study Exchange (GSE) is Coming and we need help on two fronts. First, we need five host families. Attached is a page from District 3080's newsletter that has bios of the team members. Second, we think we have vocational days lined up for four of the members, but we need help with Shailendra Kuma Pandey (Assistant Professor in Physics). Anybody know any physics professors or researchers? Please note that he has a keen interest in design and development of lab equipment so if you know of a test lab in the area that would work too. If you are interested, please let Bruce Arsten or Neil Hewitt know. Upcoming Events: New Officers! Can you believe the 2011 Rotary year is only four months away? New leadership will take over on July 1, 2010. The current leadership proposes the following officers. Chris Kellen - President Jeff White - President Elect Hamid Khaleghipour - Secretary Brian Bertcher - Sergeant of Arms Bruce Arfsten as Treasurer Raffle: Every Week! Show me the money! We will have a “BIG JACKPOT” raffle drawing every week. Here are the rules. - The drawing will be held every week after the speaker concludes. Tickets can be bought up to that time. $1 for 1 ticket, $5 gets 6 tickets. - A ticket will be drawn at the end of the meeting. - But the weekly winner, will not automatically get the jackpot. To ensure we have a BIG JACKPOT, we then ask the winner to draw the “winning card” from a standard deck of 52 cards. If they pull the “winning card”, they get the BIG JACKPOT. - How do we determine the “winning card”? After the jackpot is won, we will draw one card from a standard deck of 52 cards. That card becomes the “winning card.” It is reinserted into the deck. - If a non-winning card is drawn by the weekly drawing winner, that card is discarded. This means the odds of drawing the “winning card” will improve every week as the BIG JACKPOT grows. - The jackpot is rolled over every week until the “winning card” is drawn. - The value of the BIG JACKPOT will be reported in the newsletter. - Half of the winning pot goes to the Addison Midday Rotary Foundation. Attendance: March 2010
