A Woman's Place
GUESTS
We were happy to welcome Judy TeSelle as a visiting Rotarian last week. Judy is with the Casper, WY 5-Trails club and has been involved with the District's work with the Saratov Russia club. A little bird tells me that she is moving to this area and may opt to become a member of our club.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
President Ron announced that we will be having elections for officers on Dec 7. Dorothy Simmons has agreed to continue as Secretary if the club desires. Mike Warne has also agreed to stay on as Treasurer.
Eric Swanson told the club that the first "meeting of interest" for an Interact club at Windsor High School was more successful than anticipated with over 30 students showing up. Tuesday, Dec 5, there will be an organizational meeting in room 120 at 11:15. Rotarians are encouraged to attend to give some support and background to the kids.
President Ron also announced the coming visit and luncheon with the RI President Bill Boyd at the Ranch on January 19. We will not be having a regular meeting that Thursday. He encouraged all members to attend as the club will pick up the cost for the meals for club members.
Ron also passed around a sign up list for members to go to the District Mid-year meeting in Laramie in January. Again, the club will cover the cost of registration for this meeting.
PROGRAM
Wendy Torres and Abby Peterfeso presented a program on "A WOMAN’S PLACE." This is a non-profit agency serving victims and survivors of domestic violence in Weld County. The facility is in Greeley at an undisclosed location for security purposes. They passed out literature and information about the program and facility which has 28 adult beds and a number of cribs for children They said the number of people housed or served varies significantly from week to week. Several weeks ago, the facility was full, but this week, only two people were in residence. The handouts gave much more detail and information than can be presented here, or you can get more details at http://www.awpdv.org/.
QUIZ ANSWER
The Vatican is a nation with approximately 1000 residents. Maybe it remains small because of the extremely low birth rate.
NEXT QUESTION
As December 7 is the 65th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, who was the Japanese Commander in charge of planning and carrying out the attack? Incidentally, www.nationalgeographic.com has wonderful chronological presentation that you can watch on your computer. The answer to the question is NOT there.
