December 13, 2006 – Rotary Notes
From the Top:
Please join us Thursday as we welcome
the Dexter High School Choir to
our meeting to entertain us with Christmas carols.
We may be asked to
join in on some songs so get your voice ready.
Some reminders for tomorrow; first, bring all the
gifts for our adopted
families. Please review the instructions so they are
prepared and
identified properly. If you can't get them to the
meeting, please drop
them off at Peace Lutheran on Jackson Rd.
Second, we are ringing the bells for Salvation Army
at Busch's this
Saturday. I will have the schedule for your final
reminder tomorrow.
Last reminder; Bill Stockwell would like all
donations to the Rotary
Foundation tomorrow from those who intend to give.
Checks should be
made payable to the Dexter Rotary Club with a
notation in the memo field
that it is for the Foundation.
.
Thanks,
--Fred
Last
Week’s Program:
Koy did a very nice job of sharing
some of the culture of her home country, Thailand.
It is a very beautiful country with many colorful
traditions. Buddhism is a very strong influence in
the culture, government and educational system of
Thailand. Thai cuisine is as colorful and spicy as
the rest of the country!
All who attended this program were very impressed
with Koy’s progress in language skills in just three
short months. Many were secretly trying to imagine
themselves giving a Rotary program in Thai.
Koy is now quite in demand at other clubs because of
the Group Study Exchange (GSE) team going to
Thailand this spring. Koy will be at Southfield on
Thursday, December 21 and Troy on January 3. I’m
sure she’d be happy to have our support if anyone
can make it to those meetings.
