Speaker: Shelton Williams
The Osgood Center for International Studies has just completed a successful, challenging and inspiring International Leadership Conference (ILC). This year's program could not have been successful without the grant of $3,000 from the Rotary eClub of the Southwest USA.

Very enjoyable. A little of everything
Great meeting. enjoyed the article on free-ing the whale. Good idea on sponsoring the club for home schooled students. They are forgotten alot.Great humor Bob Adams.God Bless, Tex Ellis ,District 5830, Paris, Tx.
Welcome, Samuel! Fantastic to have another fan of Project Amigo in the group. I made a video about my own experience there I'll share here for anyone curious (don't worry; it's short): http://www.nextvista.org/projectamigo-volunteer/
Interesting ideas on EREY and our economically diverse membership. Perhaps we should aim for every member contributing something (even $5 helps), and see where we end up as an average. The key is taking part more than it is the amount, I figure.
Speaking of giving, thanks to Elizabeth for the recipe!
Finally, thanks to Shelly for giving us a great program. It was especially cool to hear from the participants how their lives changed being part of a program which fosters and celebrates friendship and understanding.
Interesting conference - thanks for the program and your efforts Shelly.
A very enlightning and interesting way to do a make up.
Your e-meeting foremat is outstanding and place for makeups.
This sounds like a wonderful conference, and I am proud that our eClub played such a part in bringing some of the people attending to Washington, D.C. It will be interesting to see how the information these young people gathered will be used in Africa in their own professions.
That is nice that the other 16 who were not able to attend will still have the opportunity. It sounds like the 8 who attended had a wonderful experience.
That was a very moving story about the Whale tangled up off the coast of San Francisco. Thank You Steve Bianchi

Very good meeting. I especially enjoyed the inspirational thought. Thanks much!
I very much enjoyed the program on the Osgood Center for International Studies and particulary the insight provided by Paul Hughes. His recognition, as a warrior, that war plans without solid peace plans were useless.
As usual excellent and very informative and up to date...Thanks..
I am overwelmed with the abondance of information and participation reflected in this meeting or presentation(s). I am pleased to see comments in made in the different languages and emphasis given to Rotary Student Exchange endorsement by your Rclub. I see your club is actively recruiting members. Your club is great.

Good meeting, thanks! The program about OsgoodCenter for Internaconal Studies was interesting and shows how Rotary can bring the world closer together.
Our contribution of $3000 to Osgood Center International Leaadership conference is great investment in promoting world understanding

Osgood Center really shows the impact of providing new opportunities to those in other countries. It benefits the US image and the participant.
Royary has supported a worthwhile International Project. The Osgood Center is really dedicated to their programs.
Great meeting! Thanks
It is always good to have the opportunity to participate in your meetings. I recently took on a new role as CEO for an international health-care delivery not for profit that operates two medical centres and 10 outreach clinics in Malawi (www.lifelinemalawi.com). On my most recent trip to Malawi I had hoped to be able to attend a Rotary meeting in the capital of Lilongwe, but given my schedule at the time was unable to do so. The option to attend your club meetings whenever I miss my own or when I am travelling is important to me. Thanks for being here.
It flowed like a live meeting and was interesting to follow it. The program pointed out another in a host of organizations that work so hard to bring people together without fanfare. Congratulations to the Club for helping out.
This is one of many examples of how Rotary is promoting peace and changing the world. Your contribution helped make this project a success.
Thank you Shelton for your interesting program....It is my second meeting today because I attended the Rotary meeting of the oldest Rotary club in Singapore. I will write the report very soon. Welcome to our new members! and...chapati are the best !
Thank you Shelton for good program!
I appreciate his service for young people in the world.
I believe that the youngster whom he raised becomes readers and makes efforts for the world peace.
Thank you!
Enjoyed the Humor.

The inspirational Moment about saving the whale really hit home. I am an avid SCBA diver who has had his share of wonderful encounters with marine animals. Stories such as this one should encourage everyone to search for a deeper understanding of the interrelationships between all of the living plants and animals which share this amazing planet with us.
It is good to see our club helping to sponsor these events,congratulations to our new members
Donna,Samual,Jim,dora,doreen,Gary,and to see our club growing,from Australia Down Under.
I like the Inspirational Thought...
thanks
It is always interesting to sit in and learn how other clubs are doing and what they have as programs
The story about the Whale who was tangled up in the fishing lines touched my heart. We all find ourselves tangled up in life on occasion. Hopefully, we are like the whale and recognize there are people in our lives that can help us swim free...and we give them a nudge of thanks! Thank you for sharing!!
Interesting Program.
I enojyed the multi language group forming invitation I found it interesting and fun.
Glad to hear that our club was able to contribute to such a worthwhile event as the International Leadership Conference of the Osgood Center for International Studies.
I will try cook the chapati
Very informative meeting as always. The international e-club recipes look very good. I shared the Chapati with some family members. Thanks
The truly International flavor of our club seems to stand out more and more with each wonderful program.
I did not see the list of the members who are in arrears with their dues. I hope I'm not one of them. I agree that the quarterly statements should include the opportunity to include the minimun amount to be part of the EREY. Clark
Great meeting with a lot of great information!
Thanks so much fo amother beneficial program!
Youth programs such as these are critical. My eyes were opened to the world because I participated in Model United Nations. I've not made it to Bulgaria just yet, but I will someday. I hope the International Leadership Conference was equally inspring for these young people.
Great Meeting.....
Intresting meeting. Loved the part about the Seven Wonders of the World
My Brazilian guest made me farofa. It is made up of a type of Brazilian flower which has to be poured thru a sieve to remove the "chaff" Then he browned chopped brown onion (about 1/2 medium) in butter and a bit of garlic, then added the flour. Sort of a dry dip for meat. Very tasty and interesting.
Great format, good articles and humor
I enjoyed the meeting, particularly the pieces about the members. Also, we have an active team on Team Amigo and it is great to see that come up at other Rotary Clubs.
Welcome Samuel Brown, I like Simon Asimov to.
Bienvenido Samuel Brown, a mi también me gusta Simón Asimov
This was a very inspirational program and makes me proud to be a member of RECSWUSA. I also want to thank Elizabeth for her recipes.
As usual, excellent program - I always stand amazed at what Rotary can do.
Sam, welcome! You're one of the few people I know that can make Library Science interesting! You're going to love this group -- definitely not shy!
Elizabeth, thank you for sharing your part of Kenya in the recipes. It's a very personal way of sharing something as basic as a meal, and share the sights, aromas and tastes of another part of the world. Again, thanks!
Have I mentioned that this eClub ROCKS? :-)
Every cents given to help youth gets paid back to us 10 times, doesn't it? Building the leaders of tomorrow is something that we all need to be invested in.
I always enjoy the international notes in each meeting. I was happy to see that thanks to Polio Plus India now has no new polio cases.
Nice way to do a makeup. I found it well rounded - much like the traditional meetings. I learned about your new member, projects the club is involved in as well as projects of a broader scope. I was very impressed with the ILC program and that your club sponsored 4 participants. What a great experience for all involved. Well done !
Thank you again for another great meeting....and Welcome Samuel to our club
As usual, another interesting meeting. For me these makeups at your website widen my Rotary prospective. Our club usually has only local speakers since we are located in a remote area of California. Thanks for another interesting and informative meeting.
I enjoyed the program. It is great to see the difference we can make as we collectively work at it.
thanks so much!
Great program. I was particularly intrigued by retired colonel Paul Hughes paradigm shift after dissolving the Iraqi military, "leaving angry and destitute soldiers with caches of weapons. One week later the insurgency began."
As Paul stated, "war plans without solid peace plans are useless." I admire his vow to "build a group of peace professionals who are as well trained, as committed, and as effective as US soldiers." His approach fits nicely with our eClub's vision of fostering peace around the planet.
Enjoyed learning about the Osgood Center for International Studies.
Great recipes, Elisabeth. We're currentely in Kenya for a conference and enjoying the food! Thanks for sharing these.
Again thanks to the club. I have talked with Stephen since his return, and he is gathering a group to come back in July. Leanwhile, we start a program today on "The US, Israel, and the Middle East." Happy to say that we have Christians, Jews, Muslims and Hindus participating.
Thank you Shelly for the great program. The chapati looks similar to our Scandinavian lefse in North Dakota.
