Speaker: Susan Hill and Ted Rose
Date: Aug 10, 2009
In the early 1980's, Ted Rose and Susan Hill sold their house, their business, and one of their cars, and moved to a small town in rural Mexico to help poor children there get a better education. What they and their friends in Colima and around the world have built has given better futures to thousands of children. Today you will learn about their organization, Project Amigo, and how Rotarians are making wonderful things happen for some of those most in need.
Speaker: Rushton Hurley
Date: Aug 03, 2009
Rushton Hurley is the chair of our eClub's Internet Communication Committee, having been rumored to know a little about the internet, or communications, or committees, but not necessarily all three (at least not at the same time!). He spent most of 1991 as an Ambassadorial Scholar in Perth, Western Australia, and will describe how that experience shaped the work he does today. He believes the power of Rotary Foundation programs such as the Ambassadorial Scholarship make good things happen for many years after the initial experience, and will convince you of that, too. Here's Rushton Hurley, and "An Ambassadorial Scholar's Next Vista".

Be ready for stories of some of the many people who have shaped our world today.
Speaker: Elise DeYoung
Date: Jul 20, 2009
Elise DeYoung is the National Operations Director for Girls For A Change, which works to help girls learn they have the power to change the world for the better. As you will read, Elise actively volunteers in her community, and like any good Rotarian, thinks big about what we are capable of achieving.
Speaker: Rushton Hurley
Date: Jul 13, 2009
Rushton Hurley is a high school teacher of Japanese language, the executive director of the educational nonprofit NextVista.org, a trainer and speaker, and the one in charge of programs for RECSWUSA for 2009-2010. Rushton joined Rotary in 2004 when he became a member of the San Antonio Downtown Rotary Club of San Antonio, Texas. Everything is bigger in Texas, and that club was at the time (and may still be) the world's largest, then having approximately 750 members. In 2005, when Rushton and his wife Tabitha moved to California, he moved his membership to the Rotary Club of Santa Clara, a fine club with a membership of somewhat fewer than 750. On the occasions he found himself making up missed meetings, he often chose the convenience and interesting environment of the Rotary eClub of the Southwest USA, and when his work schedule changed in 2008, he joined RECSWUSA. Today's program is about the philosophy and mechanics of Rotary programs, with special attention to how RECSWUSA helps spread the insights and stories that inspire Rotarians weekly around the world.
