Up With People
GUESTS
Ardin Wright brought his neighbor, Ray Kelsin, as a guest.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
President Ron Clark announced that there will be no meeting on January 18 as we are hosting the RI President Bill Boyd at the Ranch the following day. Tickets for that meal were passed out to those planning to attend. The club is paying for the meals, so if you would like to go, be at the next Rotary meeting or contact Ron to get your ticket. This is likely a once in a lifetime opportunity, so if possible, make yourself available for this event.
PROGRAM
Dr. Mike Carey introduced the program which included Kelli Buck, Diane Struekler, and his son, Daniel Carey. Daniel is with Up With People, and Kelli is a new cast member that will start her tour shortly. Daniel gave us a background of the organization. He has been with Up With People since 1999 when he toured. He was in 109 shows in 9 countries and 25 states. He stayed with 67 different host families during his tour.
Up With People (UWP) started in 1965, as a cast of 140 volunteers performing "Sing-Out 65" at a summer convention of Moral Re-Armament on Mackinac Island, Michigan. Kelli Buck will tour for six months in the SE and Eastern US as well as Europe and Thailand. She had to raise over $11,000 to pay for her expenses during the tour. She told us that in addition to the performances, the group is centered on community service wherever they go. They help many services clubs with projects locally. Kelli’s cast contains 81 people from 27 different countries. Daniel said the organization is more interested in character than talent. They accept candidates from 18-29 years old who are put through a rigorous interview and evaluation. For more information check out http://www.upwithpeople.org/.
QUIZ ANSWER
The arrow is between the E and X.
NEXT QUESTION
What song and dance man was awarded a Congressional Medal of Honor and never fought in the war? (Hint--it was WWII).
I heard Denver referred to recently as the Pile High City. Speaking of snow, the premier blowing snow researcher, Dr. Ron Tabler lives in Niwot. Ron is responsible for the design of the "Wyoming Snow Fence". For those who have questions about blowing snow, drifting and other cold stuff, check out Ron's web site: http://www.tablerassociates.com/. As I told Ron once, "I question the sanity of someone who would chose as his life's work, a job that keeps him working in the worst possible weather conditions." I hope to have him as a speaker some time
