Speaker: Rick Barrett
Date: Sep 07, 2009
Rick Barrett, a member of our eClub, works at Rotary's headquarters in Evanston, Illinois. Today he will show us the PolioPlus exhibit from the lobby of One Rotary Center. As this week's program is picture-intensive, please be patient while downloading the rather large file. Note also that the text that appears in the pictures is added in the file.
Speaker: Charles Townsing
Date: Aug 31, 2009
Today we hear from one of our own, Charles Townsing. Charles has been a member of Rotary for almost twenty years, and joined pour eClub last year due to the difficulty of getting to the nearest traditional Rotary Club, which is apparently a 200-mile round trip! Charles and his wife Fay spent several decades running a bakery, then made the switch to the Australian Outback, where they quickly learned about fencing, solar energy, and water issues. Fortunately for us, he's willing to share that learning so we don't have to spend the years learning it firsthand! Please be patient with the file; it's rather large.
Speaker: Carol Anderson
Date: Aug 24, 2009
Carol Anderson has been a member of Rotary since 2000, and early next month will celebrate her second anniversary as a member of the Rotary eClub of the Southwest USA. She is one who loves "working with kids and critters," and will tell us today about Talking Talons, a program that helps both.
Speaker: Dr. Linda Selman
Date: Aug 17, 2009
Dr. Linda Selman is a professor of literature and composition at Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia, Arkansas. She and her husband Frank have raised Frank David, a special young man with many challenges. In this program, she describes how they came to the decision to move him to an intermediate care facility, how he has thrived in that setting, and the worries they have over attempts to close such facilities down.
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.
