EDUCATION.

One of Rotary International’s seven areas of focus. Our club just gave another $16,000 in scholarships…and another local organization has the same goal. A little more colorful than us, too. “Don’t ever think you’re too old to do something like this,” says VP Terri Reidt of the “Krewe of the South Shore Marauders.” At age 76 Terri wears the Krewe’s traditional clothing like you would expect to see on their Gasparilla float. She’s small too.
But a big personality. Love hearing about local
clubs and how they’re also trying to
make the world a better place here in ! Thank you Terri!

Educator Laura Griffin grew up in Tampa Bay, went to Brandon HS, USF, UT, born in Key West, dad was shrimper; she’s a conch shell baby!
Laura believes all kids deserve an education.
She is principal since January of Sports Leadership and Management, (SLAM) charter school in Apollo Beach, serving student athletes and anyone interested in sports media, sports marketing and sports medicine. This is a tuition-free public charter school.
According to US News and World Report, 60% of the 1100 or so students at SLAM are considered economically disadvantaged, and 69% are minorities. We want “dreams to take flight,” she said. There are 12 SLAMS in Florida. Non-profits. Great to meet Laura, even better to hear about this unique opportunity extended to south county students. (813) 773-4560. Always learning here in !

She’s only been in the club since March but already Anne Moscony is a Paul Harris Fellow! Foundation chair Doug Roderick presented the award today, which was funded by Anne’s sister Jeanne from a Rotary club in Portland.
Rotary creates opportunities for friendship, business networking and most important, a way to give to causes that make the world a better place.

Paul Harris, the quiet even shy Chicago lawyer who founded Rotary in 1905, probably would be reluctant to accept all the attention given in his memory. Rotarians all over the world aspire to achieve “Paul Harris Fellowship” status. Today our foundation chair Doug Roderick awarded two of us with higher levels of that fellowship, Jim Kelly and Heather Holmes. The generosity of Rotarians makes the world a better place, starting here in !

For more than 50 years the Sun City Center Emergency Squad has been serving the 20,000 citizens of our little Del Webb community and beyond. Terri Rudinsky of the squad says there are eight teams and four ambulances. This is essentially a volunteer EMS system providing basic life support. Fallen and can’t get up? Had a stroke? Confused? They’re there for you. Even the cooks are volunteers, serving about 30-40 people a day. And guess what. There is no charge for the ride to the hospital. That’s something to think about. Emergencies: (813) 634-3800. Non-emergencies: (813) 633-1411. Always learning here at Rotary in

Paul Harris founded Rotary in 1905 and Rotarians proudly wear pins bearing his image as supporters of the fight against disease, disasters, or any other Rotary cause worldwide. As you continue to give, you are elevated to successive levels of your “Paul Harris Fellowship” and today our club’s foundation chair Doug Roderick elevated Bill Pappmeier, Rea Cantwell and Ron Banaszak based on their recent gifts. Much thanks to these generous Rotarians as we try to do good in the world, starting here in !

Fun night at Rotary! Ann Hammond is Rotarian of the Year for her leadership in local projects, and yours truly is serving as President again. The club rocks all year and met its membership and giving goals, again here in !
Adding to the fun were the antics of comedian Joe Conti, who waxed eloquent detailing a very personal story, which in any other setting may have seemed out of place but his raw courage in telling it was gripping. No shortage of meaningful content at Rotary.

Rotary is an organization of milestones promoting service and generosity. Today Foundation Chair Doug Roderick recognized Georgana Collins and Kathleen Stasia for their giving. And three other members, Nicole Sharp, Jim Sigel and Jim Garbett Sr. moved up from new members to full fledged Rotarians.
It’s a process that brings about good in the world here in .

All Rotary clubs need a member database and a common source for that is www.dacdb.com.
It’s the District and Club Database, but we call it “DAK-DEE-BEE.”
Our local expert on that website is PDG Tom Wagner, often thought of as “Mr. Rotary” in the Tampa Bay area. Tom came by today to school us on this sometimes finicky site, and made it all look so easy. Thanks Tom for a great and timely lesson.

The future is here. Outstanding students from East Bay High and Lennard High drop by our Rotary luncheon today to say “thanks” for the scholarship money they are receiving from us.
Future nurses. Politicians. Scientists. Social Workers. Biologists. Surgeons. Biomedical
Engineers. Psycologists. These youngsters are from all over the world and shared their dreams with us. We are so, so proud to have even a small part in their progress toward adulthood. One of the sweetest benefits of Rotary. Doing good and feeling good here in !

Members are the lifeblood of Rotary. Without them, nothing gets done.
Who promotes education? Peace? Clean water and sanitation? Women and children? The environment? Who promotes economic development and fights disease?
Members — all 47,000 of them in 200+ countries. They make the contributions. They do the work.
Today, sponsored by Ned Robertson, Holly Jamison joined! She has a rich background and will be applying those skills to make the world a better place through Rotary. Wow. She’s already made this club a better place! High quality addition!
Join us in !

What is “financial insecurity?”
Maybe something we’ve all felt from time to time? 33% of American adults have no retirement savings. Not a pretty picture.
Rick Sandlin of First Financial Security stopped by to promote safe savings products.
At Rotary we are always learning.
Thanks for the info, Rick.
glad to have you here in !
