minister and author, tells the story of a young girl, an exchange student from
Sweden, who was spending the holiday season in New York City while living with
an American family. Her chores were helping
around the house, but she didn't have much money. So she knew she couldn't buy
nice Christmas presents for her host family—besides, they already had so much,
with new gifts arriving every day from family and friends.<br />
<br />
With just what little money she had, she went out and bought an outfit for a
small baby, and then set out on a journey to find the poorest part of New York
and the poorest baby she could find. At first, she received only strange looks
from people when she asked them for help. But then a kind stranger, a Salvation
Army bell-ringer, guided her to a poor part of town and helped her deliver her
gift. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;">On
Christmas morning, instead of giving her host family gifts, she told them about
her act of kindness done in their name. Everyone was speechless, and everyone
was blessed—the girl for giving, the wealthy family for seeing others with new
eyes, and the poor family for receiving an unexpected gift.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I
believe unexpected gifts are some of the most special. At this time of the year there seems to be
many opportunities to give to those who have great needs, or your giving could
be simple things like a smile, a listening ear or words of encouragement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;">As
Rotarians we are gift givers; of our time, our talent and our resources - and
not just at Christmas. It’s who we are. It’s what we do. Christmas began with the giving of one gift. Over 2,000 years ago, God gave His son, Jesus
Christ to the earth as His special gift.
And to many, it was unexpected. Christmas
began with Christ and if you are not familiar with this story, I encourage you
to check it out this holiday season. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

time to pass on this duty as I look ahead to my new role as club president. Jen Neuman officially takes up the mic on January

<h3>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">Good morning! This morning I thought I share a fun piece from brother Steve Carpenter regarding a “Spanish Computer.”</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A Spanish language teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.</span></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"House" for instance, is feminine… "la casa." </span></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Pencil," however, is masculine… "el lapiz."</span></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A student asked, "What gender is 'Computer'?" Instead of giving the answer, the teacher decided to have a contest between the men and women, and asked them to decide for themselves whether "Computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.</span></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The men's group decided that "Computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computadora"), because:</span></span></h3>
<h3>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">No one but their creator understands their internal logic;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck to buy accessories for it. </span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine ("el computador"), because:</span></h3>
<h3>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">Guess who won? You got it, the women. And for the guys, the suggestion was to keep working on maintaining a sense of humor. And that’s the Bottom of our News on this Friday, October 2nd, 2015. </span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">###</span></span></h3>

<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>If Something Can Go Wrong... </b></span></h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning! I would guess you the definition of Murphy's Law… If anything can go wrong, it will go wrong (Sometimes known as the 4th law of Thermodynamics).<br /><br />Captain Edward A. Murphy, an American engineer at Muroc, California (Edwards Air Force Base) came up with the first law. <br /><br />In 1949 he was working on a project to test the effects of sudden braking. Time after time his machinery failed and finally, he said 'If there is any way to do it wrong, I will find it.' The phrase stuck and quickly became widely used.<br /><br />Here are a few of the lesser known Murphy’s laws…</span><ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">He who laughs last, thinks slowest.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Those who live by the sword, get shot by those who don't.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">The shin bone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat, drinking beer all day.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, as we enter this beautiful weekend, may you NOT experience a Murphy’s Law moment! And that is the Bottom of our News on this Sept 18, 2015! <br /><br />##</span>#</div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-no-proof: yes;">I was in a

first memorable 911 was 43 years ago. It
was my first day of college and that evening, while watching the 10 o’clock
news I heard of a teenager from my hometown who had been killed in a car accident. They didn't release the name until the immediate family could be notified. I was that family. Soon after I got the phone
call. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Congratulations Zach Johnson!</span><br />
<br />
Last week I stood up here with an update on Zach Johnson’s play in the British Open. Little did we know that he would go to become the champion of the most prestigious and oldest golf event in the world, the British Open. And the 144th annual event was held at the birthplace of golf, St. Andrews Old Course in Scotland. It is quite an honor for, as Zach says “a kid from Iowa who has been blessed with some talent.” Here are a few things to note about this special guy from Cedar Rapids.<br />
<div>
<br />
HE HAS USED THE SAME PUTTER HIS ENTIRE CAREER… Most players change putters frequently, but Zach is the exception, using the same putter since during his early day in the minor tours.<br />
<br />
HIS OPEN WIN PUT HIM IN ELITE COMPANY… With his victory at the 2015 Open, Johnson becomes just the sixth person to hoist the claret jug at St. Andrews and win the Masters. The other five: Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Sam Snead, Steve Ballesteros and Nick Faldo. Not the worst of congregations to join.<br />
<br />
WHAT JOHNSON LACK IN DISTANCE… With a 280-yard average, one of the shortest players (164th) on tour -- he makes up for in accuracy. Johnson's boasts a 73.4 accuracy percentage , third-best on tour.<br />
<br />
JOHNSON WASN'T THE BEST PLAYER ON HIS GOLF TEAM… You would think a two-time major winner would have been the star of his college team at Drake. He wasn't the best player on his team, but he had the perseverance and work ethic to continue to develop into a star player.<br />
<br />
JOHNSON'S CADDIE IS QUITE THE PLAYER HIMSELF… Damon Green competed on the lower levels of golf, capturing 75 victories on mini-tours. Green decided to give caddying a try 15 years ago, and has been on the bag for all of Johnson's wins.<br />
<br />
HE SPENT YEARS IN THE MINORS and developmental leagues for six seasons and his breakthrough was in 2003, when he won Player of the Year honors on the Nationwide Tour.<br />
<br />
HE HAS HIS OWN FOUNDATION… Johnson and his wife started the Zach Johnson Foundation, focused on helping children and families in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Some of the foundation's programs include Birdies That Care (which helps provide college scholarships to those in need), Kids on the Course (helping children realize opportunities in the classroom) and the Zach Johnson Foundation Classic.<br />
<br />
HE WON THE MASTERS in similar fashion… Due to rainy weather with strong winds and cold temperature, he won the 2007 Masters with one of the worst winning scores, but two strokes better than Tiger Woods, Retief Goosen and Rory Sabbatini.<br />
<br />
JOHNSON ONCE SANG AT WRIGLEY FIELD… That's right, Johnson can sing! Okay, not really, but Johnson was given the honor of performing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" at Wrigley Field.<br />
<br />
And that’s a few things to note about our local Cedar Rapids guy, Zach Johnson. This year’s winner of the British Open. Congratulations to Zach, you make us proud. And that is the Bottom of our News on this July 24th , 2015!<br />

</b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Good morning my fellow Daybreakers! </span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you ever sent the wrong email to the wrong person? I’m guessing most everyone has done something similar. Wouldn’t it be great if there was an ‘Undo’ key to simply fix those blunders? The two most common mistakes are sending the wrong attachment or hitting the Reply All button instead of the Reply key. <br /><br />Well, here is a recent true example I wanted to share with you. <br /><br />A couple had set up their vacation and with the idea that the wife would be joining her husband at their destination a day later from her business trip. When the husband reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick email.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately, when typing her address, he mistyped a letter in the email address and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher’s wife whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her email, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint.</span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:</span></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-size: large;">To the love of my life… Just got checked in. Everything is prepared and I am anxiously awaiting for your arrival tomorrow. P.S. Sure is hot down here.</span></i></div>

morning my fellow Rotarians. Let me share some thoughts about our upcoming Independence Day holiday. </span><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></strong>
<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Well, 24 were lawyers and
jurists. Eleven were merchants and business owners; nine were farmers and
plantation owners. They signed the Declaration knowing full well that the
penalty would be death if they were captured.</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></strong>
<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Carter Braxton of Virginia,
a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships and his shipping company burned and
destroyed by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his
debts, and died in penniless.</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></strong>
<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Vandals or soldiers looted
many of their properties. Others had
their homes taken over to be British headquarters and when they were done, the
homes were destroyed and their families were imprisoned and torn apart. Most of those men died bankrupt.</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">These are true stories
about the men of the American Revolution. They were well educated and they had
their security, but they valued their liberty and freedom more.</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> Here was their pledge…<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<strong><i><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></i></strong>
<strong><i><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">"For the support of this declaration, with

<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></strong>
<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">They gave us a free and
independent America. During the Revolutionary War we didn't fight just the
British. We were British subjects at that time and therefore we fought our own
government!</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></strong>
<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Some today take our liberties
for granted and many don’t realize we owe a debt of gratitude to the patriots
who came before us. </span></strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">So, it’s not just another “holiday weekend” at the
beach. The 4<sup>th</sup> is a holiday
with a true purpose. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">This
is the best weekend of the summer in my opinion. We have a local Freedom Festival, time to spend with
family, picnics, ball games, awesome fireworks and more. At some point I'd like to suggest that you pause to reflect on the history,
struggle, sacrifice and significance behind your celebration. Tell your kids and grandkids about this. Unfortunately, many are not learning about this holiday anymore in our schools. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I

<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">Graduation Season</span><br /><br />Good morning my fellow Rotarians. We are in the midst of graduation season and there are a few fun stories I thought worth sharing.<br /><br /><b>Be unique</b><br />Robert Orben recently told graduates… “A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that 'individuality' is the key to their success.”<br /><br /><b>Another chance</b><br />It's graduation day, and everybody's going to get their diploma but Josh. At the assembly, the entire senior class stands up and shouts "Let Josh graduate, let Josh graduate!" The principal agrees to give Josh one last chance. "If I have five apples in my right hand and five in my left hand, Josh, how many apples do I have?" he asked. Josh thought long and hard and then said: "Ten." And the entire senior class stood up and shouted, "Give Josh another chance. Give Josh another chance!" <br /><br /><div>
<b>Ask for money</b><br />Commencement speaker Gary Bolding told grads… “Your families are extremely proud of you. You can't imagine the sense of relief they are experiencing. This would be a most opportune time to ask for money.”<br /> <br /><b>Make this look natural</b><br /> It was graduation day and Mom was trying to take a picture of their son in a cap and gown, posed with his father. "Let's try to make this look natural” she said. "Junior, put your arm around your dad's shoulder." The father answered, "If you want it to look natural, why not have him put his hand in my pocket?" <br /><br /><b>Average is okay</b><br />George W. Bush told the graduating class at SMU last week… “To those of you who received honors, awards and distinctions, I say well done. And to the C students, I say you too may one day be president of the United States.”<br /><br /><b>I'll show you how</b><br /> A young man hired by a supermarket reported for his first day of work. The manager greeted him with a warm handshake and a smile, gave him a broom and said, "Your first job will be to sweep out the store." "But I'm a college graduate," the young man replied indignantly. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that," said the manager. "Here, give me the broom – I'll show you how."<br /> <br /> Congrats to our grads! And that my friends, is the Bottom of our News May 29, 2015! <br /><br />###</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Good morning my fellow Rotarians. On the beginning of this
Memorial Day weekend I thought it only fitting to share with you some
history. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Originally known as
Decoration Day, it was a day set aside to honor the nation's Civil War dead by
decorating their graves. The first observance was May 30, 1868. It
was a short speech by General James Garfield at Arlington National Cemetery and
then over 5,000 volunteers decorated the graves of the more than 20,000 Union
and Confederate soldiers buried in the cemetery.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This 1868 celebration
inspired many local observances and after World War I, observances also began
to honor those who had died in all of America's wars.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 1971, Congress declared
Memorial Day a national holiday to be celebrated the last Monday in May. Today,
Memorial Day is still celebrated at Arlington National Cemetery very much like
the first one, with a simple speech by either the president or the
vice-president and then a wreath is laid at the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Flags are also placed on
the graves of each of the 260,000 soldiers buried in Arlington. Over 1500 soldiers of the 3<sup>rd</sup>
Infantry Regiment (or better known as the Old Guard) perform a “flag in” ceremony
which take them about four hours to place a flag at every grave. They then remove those flags on Tuesday
morning before the cemetery is opened back up to the public.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now let me tell you a story about a real veteran from Oklahoma who dropped out of high school to fight in World War II. It took him 72 years to receive his diploma, which was accomplished this past week.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bill Larkin, 90, who left school during his senior year in 1943, served with the US Marines in Iwo Jima and elsewhere, joined the 2015 graduating class ceremonies at Skiatook High School this past Thursday evening.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Skiatook invited the veteran to receive his honorary diploma as a way to recognize his service and inspire graduating seniors. When school officials discovered he only lacked on history credit to graduate, they decided his military service fulfilled that requirement.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I do not know what I need a diploma now for, I am not looking for a job. I have done just fine with out one," Larkin told the Claremont Daily Progress newspaper. Larkin spent three years overseas during the war and returned home to marry his high school sweetheart, Lois. After the war, he worked as a truck driver and pipeline construction supervisor, but never went back to finish the class he needed to earn a diploma.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Memorial Day is a rich
tradition where all Americans can take pause to pray and to thank our greatest
heroes. Let’s remember to honor those men and women who have paid the
ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. And that is the B<span lang="EN">ottom of our News on this May 22, 2015</span>! <span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Good morning my fellow Rotarians. Happy May Day! For some of you this may be a little known holiday, but not long ago it was widely celebrated in our country. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">May Day originated with the Greeks and Romans… based on ancient fertility rituals and agricultural traditions. They honored Flora -- the goddess of springtime. Medieval England created their own version by adding the Maypole decorated with flowers and streamers in the town square, and people danced around the pole with joyful frolic to mark spring's arrival. Today you will still find Maypoles in many European villages and towns.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The themes of "fertility" and "frisky antics" didn’t fly with the Puritans in the US because they thought the holiday was too pagan, so that version of May Day didn’t catch on. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In 1886 May Day become known as a day for protest when workers in Chicago protested and rioted in what became known as the Haymarket Affair. International Workers Day was also born that decade and became a worldwide special day to honor workers. It was the precursor to our US Labor Day. Since then, May Day has become popular day for protests.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The May Day I remember as a young boy was one that was a lot of fun. My mom used to help us prepare May baskets with candy and flowers (actually I think they were re-cycled Easter baskets, but we didn’t care!) Early on the morning of May 1st we would sneak up to the houses of family and friends and leave a basket on their front step with the hope of not being seen or getting caught. It was a great adventure and we loved it, especially when people seemed to not have a clue who might have left them those special gifts. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Years later an aunt told me that she always knew, but didn’t want to spoil it. This was the same lady who broke the news that the Easter Bunny was my dad. That is the May Day of the past, an old tradition that has since faded away in America. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But for us today, we can celebrate coming of spring by proclaiming happy May Day! And that my friends is our Bottom of the News on this Friday, May 1st, 2015. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
Good morning my fellow Daybreakers. This is our last meeting before Christmas and I thought I would share a story with you that fits who we are as Rotarians. It is called “The Envelope” and it goes like this… <br />
<br />
It's just a small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. No name, just plain. It has been in the branches of our tree for 10 years or so. It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas -- oh, not the true meaning of Christmas, but the commercial aspects of it -- overspending... the frantic running around, the gifts given in desperation because you couldn't think of anything else. Knowing he felt this way, I decided one year to bypass the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so forth. I reached for something special just for Mike. The inspiration came in an unusual way. <br />
<br />
Our son Kevin, 12 that year, was wrestling in junior high and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team sponsored by an inner-city church. These youngsters, dressed in sneakers so ragged that shoestrings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, presented a sharp contrast to our boys in their spiffy blue and gold uniforms and sparkling new wrestling shoes. <br />
<br />
As the match began, I was alarmed to see that the other team was wrestling without headgear, I thought wow, they need the protection. Obviously they could not afford the gear. Well, we ended up beating them, taking every weight class. Mike said sadly, "I wish just one of them could have won. They have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them." <br />
<br />
Mike loved kids -- all kids -- and he knew them, having coached little league football, baseball and lacrosse. That's when the idea for his present came. <br />
<br />
That afternoon, I went to a sporting goods store and bought an assortment of wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them anonymously to the church. On Christmas Eve, I placed an envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and in succeeding years. For each Christmas, I followed the tradition -- one year sending a group of mentally disabled youngsters to a hockey game, another year a check to a pair of elderly brothers whose home had burned to the ground the week before Christmas, and on and on. <br />
<br />
The envelope became the highlight of our Christmas. It was always the last thing opened on Christmas morning and our children, ignoring their new toys, would stand with wide-eyed anticipation as their dad lifted the envelope from the tree to reveal its contents. <br />
<br />
As the children grew, the toys gave way to more practical presents, but the envelope never lost its allure. The story doesn't end there. You see, we lost Mike last year due to dreaded cancer. When Christmas rolled around, I was still so wrapped in grief that I barely got the tree up. But Christmas Eve found me placing an envelope on the tree, and in the morning, it was joined by three more. <br />
<br />
Each of our children, unbeknownst to the others, had placed an envelope on the tree for their dad. The tradition has grown and someday will expand even further with our grandchildren standing around the tree with wide-eyed anticipation watching as their fathers take down the envelope. Mike's spirit, like the Christmas spirit, will always be with us. <br />
<br />
I believe this story also represents the spirit of Rotary locally and around the world. Giving gifts to those in need on behalf of others is what we do, except we don’t just do it at Christmas time, we do it all year long. <br />
<br />
May we each remember the true spirit of Christmas and the very special gift that was given to mankind over 2,000 years ago. It is the true reason for this season. May your holiday season be one of many blessings as you enjoy your time with family and loved ones. And that my friends is the Bottom of our News on this Friday, December 19, 2014!<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas!<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt;">Good morning my fellow Daybreakers.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt;">I recently came across a blog that did some
fact-checking regarding the history of Thanksgiving.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt;">Here are some common myths:</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b style="font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">In
1621, Pilgrims held a feast in Plymouth Colony to celebrate their first harvest</b><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">.</span></i><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><i> </i> </span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">False.</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Nobody knows for
sure. Historians know of harvest celebrations each year, early on shared by the
colonists and local Indians.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b style="font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><i>The
Pilgrims dressed in black and white and wore buckles on the their shoes.</i></b><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">False.</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Both men and women
typically wore a variety of colors when they dressed up in the 1600’s and it
was unheard of to wear black and white.</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">And NO, there were were no BIG buckles on their shoes.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b style="font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><i>Americans
have always eaten Turkey at their Thanksgiving feasts because that is what was
served at the first Thanksgiving. </i></b><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">False. In the mid-1800’s author and magazine
editor </span><u style="font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #0c4790;">Sarah Hale</span></u><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> started the idea of a Thanksgiving holiday
similar to what we celebrate today.</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">She
used her popular Godey's Lady's Book of recipes to promote turkey and stuffing,
pumpkin pie and cranberries along with other traditions that had nothing to do
with the colonists. She successfully lobbied President Lincoln, who in 1863,
declared Thanksgiving an annual holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday of
November every year.</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b style="font-size: small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><i>After
the first Thanksgiving in 1621, Americans have been celebrating Thanksgiving
every year since.</i> </b><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">False.</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Early on the different colonies celebrated their own days of
thanksgiving during the year.</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">In 1789, George
Washington made Thursday, Nov. 26, a Thanksgiving holiday, but only for one
year and the holiday continued to be sporadic.</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Lincoln’s fourth Thursday held until 1939 when President Roosevelt changed
it to be the third Thursday of November primarily to help the economy by making
the Christmas shopping season longer. There was so much opposition to the move
that two years later he changed it to the fourth Thursday in November.</span></span></li>

Thanksgiving holiday is uniquely American.</i></b><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><i> </i>

perfectly into the story of American history.</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">To be thankful to God for the ab</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">undance
of this great land was only</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> na</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">tural
for our forefathers and making it a national holiday</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> made perfect sense.</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Over time other countries followed suit.</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">More and more, however, due to the expanding commercialization of
Halloween and Christmas, it is a holiday that could get lost.</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">But as Rotarians we can do something about
that by embracing the idea of having a mindset of being thankful year round.</span></span></li>

SAD NEWS from MINNESOTA this week. Please join me in remembering another great
icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died on
Wednesday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated
pokes in the belly. He was 71. <br />
<br />
Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned
out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the
California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch.
The gravesite was piled high with flours. <br />
<br />
Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who
never knew how much he was kneaded. Born and bread in Minnesota, Doughboy rose
quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was
not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked
schemes.<br />
<br />
Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was a crusty old man and was
considered a positive roll-model for millions. Doughboy is survived by his wife
Play Dough, three children: John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey Dough, plus they
had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart. <br />
<br />
The funeral was held at <span class="aqj">3:50</span> for about 20 minutes. Please rise to the occasion and pass it on to
someone having a crumby day and kneading a lift. </span></span></div>

morning my fellow Daybreakers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought
I would share some interesting things about our English language.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some would say that English is a crazy
language.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyone who has learned another
language would probably agree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, here

take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that
quicksand works slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither
from Guinea nor is it a pig.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

if the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends

can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy
are opposites? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You have to marvel at a language
in which an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented by people, not
computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course,
is not a race at all. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">This
morning I want share some thoughts about our upcoming Independence Day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">You
may have heard this before, but freedom is never free!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Consider <span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">the </span><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence and what happened to
them in the following months:</span></b></span><br />

<br /></div>
<b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">They signed and they
pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What kind of men were they?</span></b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Well, they were just like you and me. 24 were lawyers and
jurists. Eleven were merchants and business owners; nine were farmers and
plantation owners. They signed the Declaration knowing full well that the
penalty would be death if they were captured.</span></b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Carter Braxton of Virginia,
a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships and his shipping company burned and
destroyed by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his
debts, and died in penniless.</span></b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Vandals or soldiers looted
many of their properties.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Others had
their homes taken over to be British headquarters and when they were done, the
homes were destroyed and their families were imprisoned and torn apart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most of those men died bankrupt.</span></b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span>
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">These are true stories
about the men of the American Revolution. They were well educated and they had
their security, but they valued their liberty and freedom more.</span></b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here was their pledge…</span><br />
<br />
<b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">"For the support of this declaration, with
firm reliance on the protection of THE divine providence, we mutually pledge to
each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."</span></i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span></i><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">They gave us a free and
independent America. During the Revolutionary War they didn't fight just the
British. They were British subjects at that time and therefore fought their our own
government!</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Some today take our liberties
for granted and many don’t realize we owe a debt of gratitude to the patriots
who came before us. </span></b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">So, it’s not just another “holiday weekend” at the
beach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The 4<sup>th</sup> is a holiday
with a true purpose. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">This
is the best weekend of the summer in my opinion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have the Freedom Festival, time with
family, a picnic, a ball game and awesome fireworks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At some point pause to reflect on the history,
struggle, sacrifice and significance behind your celebration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tell your kids and grandkids about this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I
am very grateful we have an “Independence Day” in America and for those
patriots who went before us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember, <b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">freedom is never free!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b>This is our news for this </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Friday, </span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">June 27, 2014.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Can I Quote You on That? </b></span><br /><br />Good morning my fellow Rotarians, what a beautiful day in the neighborhood. I always get a good laugh out of funny quotes so I thought I’d share a few with you this morning…<br />
<br />
"Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday." -Don Marquis<br />
<br />
"People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do." -Isaac Asimov<br /><br />
"A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man." -Lana Turner<br />
"A day without sunshine is like, you know, night." -Steve Martin<br /><br />"A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice." -Bill Cosby<br /><br />"A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths." -Steven Wright<br /><br />
"Why do they call it rush hour when nothing moves?" -Robin Williams<br />
<br />
"The day I made that statement, about inventing the internet, I was tired because I'd been up all night inventing the Camcorder." -Al Gore<br />
<br />
"I found there was only one way to look thin, hang out with fat people." -Rodney Dangerfield<br />
<br />
"Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes." -Jim Carrey<br />
<br />
"Here’s all you have to know about men and women: women are crazy and men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid." -George Carlin<br /><br />
Can I quote you on that? Everyone have a great weekend and that is the bottom of our news on this Friday, June 13th, 2014.<br />
<br />

This weekend includes a special Sunday, Mother’s Day. Guys, remember to call your mothers! Mom’s teach us a lot and I thought I’d share some things my mom taught me… <br /><br />1. My mother taught me to PRAY... “You better pray that will come out of the carpet." <br /><br />2. My mother taught me LOGIC… "If you fall out of that tree you're going to break your neck." <br /><br />3. My mother taught me PLANNING… "Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident." <br /><br />4. My mother taught me IRONY… "Keep crying, and I'll give you something to cry about." <br /><br />5. My mother taught me about doing the IMPOSSIBLE… "look at that dirt on the back of your neck!" <br /><br />6. My mother taught me about WEATHER… "This room of yours looks as if a tornado went through it." <br /><br />7. My mother taught me about predicting the FUTURE… "Just wait until your dad gets home." <br /><br />8. My mother taught me MEDICAL SCIENCE… "If you don't stop crossing your eyes, they are going to freeze that way." <br /><br />9. My mother taught me HUMOR… "When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don't come running to me." <br /><br />10.And my favorite: My mother taught me about JUSTICE… "One day you'll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you!" <br /><br />There you go, ten things I learned from my mom as the bottom of our news. My special thanks to my mom and Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there on this Friday, May 8th, 2014. <br /><br />### Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14083461371535339664noreply@blogger.com0Cedar Rapids, IA, USA41.9778795 -91.66562320000002741.7889735 -91.988346700000022 42.1667855 -91.342899700000032tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14011534.post-90403346324430089462014-04-18T07:02:00.000-05:002014-06-06T05:56:37.469-05:00Times Are Changing<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span lang="DE-CH" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">Good morning my fellow
Rotarians.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Found an article the other
day about how much prices have gone up and how things have changed over the
past 50 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These things reminded me
of my Granfather who would often respond with “that’s crazy.“<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So,
here are a few things from 50 years ago that I could hear my grandfather say...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE-CH" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Did you hear the post office is thinking
about charging 4 cents just to mail a letter?</span><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="DE-CH" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">If
they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody will be able to
hire outside help at their store.<br />
</span><span lang="DE-CH" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Someone told me that gas would someday
cost 25 cents a gallon? Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in
the garage because 25 cents a gallon is expensive (and crazy).<br />
</span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies
any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying
DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems every new movie has either HELL
or DAMN in it.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I read the other day where some scientist
thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of
the century. They even have some fellows they call
astronauts preparing for it down in Texas.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Some baseball player just signed
a contract for $50,000 a year just to play ball? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It wouldn't surprise me if someday
they'll make more than the President.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I’ve been hearing about this German
car, the Volkswagen, and it might open the door to a whole lot of foreign
business in the United States.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Thank goodness I won't live to see
the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I
sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to
government.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">There is this fast food restaurant
called McDonald’s that is convenient for a quick meal, but I
seriously doubt they will ever catch on.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">No one can afford to
be sick anymore. At $15.00 a day in the hospital is too rich
for my blood.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">If they think I'll pay 30 cents
for a haircut, forget it, I am NOT that crazy!<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

Good morning my fellow Rotarians. Here are some headline news...<br /> <br />YUBA CITY , Calif., April 10 (UPI) -- A California teen was so determined to raise money for a prom dress that she enlisted the help of a minor to help her sell brownies that were laced with pot. Unfortunately the teen got caught and was taken out of River Valley High School in handcuffs. In addition to being sentenced to four years probation for employing a minor to sell marijuana, the Yuba City teenager is now in danger of being deported back to Mexico. <br /><br /> PALM SPRINGS , Fla., April 10 (UPI) -- A special Palm Beach County Fire Rescue team, the "Bariatric Unit,” was called upon on Wednesday to rescue an obese man who had fallen in his home and was unable to move. In order to rescue the man, who was reportedly several hundred pounds overweight, the special unit had to cut a hole in the back wall of his home because he could not fit through any of the doors. "There's no way we could get him out," said friend Don Estess. "And I’m sure he won’t be happy with the big hole in his back wall." The Bariatric Unit is <a href="http://www.wflx.com/story/25207094/firefighters-cut-hole-in-house-to-remove-obese-man">equipped to handle patients</a> that weigh up to 1,000 pounds. <br /><br /> BUFFALO, N.Y., April 10 (UPI) -- A Buffalo judge ruled that a woman who was dumped by her former fiancé via text could kept her $53,000, three-carat engagement ring because her ex’s message implied that it was a gift. “You can keep the ring as a parting gift and use it for a down payment on a house,” said Louis Billittier, Jr. texted after breaking things off with Christa Clark. “You are doing this through a text message????” she texted back, according the Buffalo paper. Their relationship ended after 14 months because Clark wouldn’t sign the 55-year-old restaurant co-owner’s pre-nuptial agreement. State Supreme Court judge said that text message was further proof “the ring was a gift” and once a gift is given, it is irrevocable.” <br /><br />And there you go, news to snooze by as the bottom of our news on this April 11th, 2014. <br /><br />###Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14083461371535339664noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14011534.post-51017782199467750202014-04-04T06:10:00.000-05:002014-06-06T06:11:46.183-05:00Senior Citizens<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today fellow Rotarian, Martin will be talking with us about his services for our seniors. I thought I would share a few senior stories that Martin and his team of volunteer drivers can easily relate to… <br /><br />"A man in his eighties went to the doctor for his annual health check-up. He told the doctor: 'I'm getting really forgetful. I forget where I live, I forget where I've parked my car, and I go into shops and I can't remember what it is that I want. And when I do get to the checkout, I find I've forgotten my wallet. It's getting pretty bad, doc. What can I do?' The doctor thought for a moment and said: 'Pay me in advance.'"<br /><br /> "Asked by a reporter how he had managed to live to the age of 100, an old man explained: 'Well, son, I got married when I was 21. The wife and I decided that if ever we argued the loser should take a long walk to cool off. So I guess I've benefited from 79 years of fresh air."<br /><br /> "A 61-year-old man told the doctor that he was no longer able to help around the house like he used to. After the doctor had finished examining him, the man said: 'Now, doc, tell me in plain English what is wrong with me.' 'In plain English,' said the doctor, 'you're just lazy.' 'Ok,' said the man, 'now give me the medical term so I can tell my wife.'"<br /><br /> Senior citizens have taken to texting with gusto and they even have their own vocabulary: <br /><br /> BFF: Best Friend Fainted <br /> BYOT: Bring Your Own Teeth <br /> CBM: Covered by Medicare <br /> GGPBL: Gotta Go, Pacemaker Battery Low! <br />LMDO: Laughing My Dentures Out <br /><br />
In honor of our seniors today, that’s the bottom of our news on this April 4, 2014. <br />###<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span>

<br />
Good morning my fellow Rotarians. How many 30-somethings in the room this morning? <br />
<br />
Any of you get the feeling yet that you are feeling old? For some of us this feeling has been with us for quite a while. No names mentioned of course. For others, it maybe is one of those thoughts that has started to creep into your thinking. So, thought I would share with you a few signs that would give you a heads up… <br />
<ul>
<li>You get super excited when you go to a concert and there are SEATS.You start a story with “when I was in college” and realize that was 10 years ago. </li>
<li>When you watch teen movies/TV shows, you find yourself siding more with the parents than the kids. </li>
<li>You’ve gone to a bar and left because it was too loud. </li>
<li>You’d rather pay a little more for a “nice, clean” hotel room than cram into a hostel with 12 of your friends. </li>
<li>You start buying shoes based on “comfort” instead of looks. </li>
<li>You voluntarily buy the “fiber” cereal. </li>
<li>You’re seriously thinking about getting a dog. No, having a baby. No, definitely getting a dog.</li>
<li>You get carded, and your first instinct is, “AWESOME.” </li>
<li>An 11-year-old has to show you how to do something on your smartphone. </li>
</ul>
There you go, some sure signs that you are over 30 and getting old. That’s the bottom of our news on this March 21, 2014. <br />
<br />
