March 23rd Speaker: Darci Neuzil

 

Darci Neuzil

 

Darci Neuzil is the Deputy Director for the Addison Airport and she spoke to us about the economic impact of aviation on North Texas. We learned about the economic impact that regional and local airports (as well as major airports) have on the local economy.

 

We also learned about what the regional airports are doing as far as security, Addison Airport has actually implemented stricter security to keep us safe! Darci also went over the amount of jobs that the airports provide to the airport, not just at the airport, but through peripheral economy outside the airport.

 

It was very interesting to learn how much of our economy in Addison is brought to us by the Airport and how the airport helps with air traffic at the major airports by keeping smaller airplanes from using their landing strips and airspace.

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.

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.
