Alana Summers, Indianapolis Rotary Club, was our guest and brought us up to date on Camp Riley. Located in Martinsville, Camp Riley works with kids to help them develop goals that will challenge them and support them to learn how to overcome obstacles. The camp fosters the idea that their disabilities are not a limiting factor for them and for the kids to feel normal. 
The Riley Foundation is designed to insure that doctors do not have to cut corners to treat Indiana children. 60% of the children come from homes that are uninsured or under insured. Children are referred to Riley and most are cancer cases. Rotary Interactors Justin, Sam and Kaitlyn were our guests last week. We also have Matt Howrey from NSSB as our guest also.
Pat Cockrum presented our club with a banner from a Rotary club in Brazil. Him and his wife went to see Fernanada. They enjoyed their stay and Pat brought back the suggestion that we serve beverages like to do down south.
It was the honor of the Danville Rotary Club to induct 4 of our 5 new members to the club. Their sponsors were on hand to provide them with their Rotary Pin. Our new members were: John McBride, Larraine Smith, Dave Simmon and Fred Cline. Mike Petrunich was not pictured. Sponsors were: John Battershell, Jade Gruner and Pat Cockrum.
Announcements: Board Meeting March 8th. Ag Day is March 8th at the Ellis Park Train Station. Saturday March 12 is work for a senior day. Dave Coleman will have more information about that.
