Rotary Hall of Fame

Purdue Pete made a surprise visit to the Rotary District Conference in French Lick.  I am sure that he was down south welcoming IU an early homecoming.

Late last week, seven Danville Rotarians made the migration to French Lick for the District 6560 Conference.  This was the largest turnout of Danville Rotarians seen at a district conference in a long time.  We were educated on the Rotary Foundation, Polio, Water, and Hunger.  You just don't know that power that having plenty of food and clean water can do for a community.  One lady said, "When the well was built, the children stopped dying."   This is what you are part of when you are part of Rotary.

We were all asked to share our Rotary Moment.  The moment that we changed from a RINO (Rotarian in Name Only) into a true Rotarian.  Each of us have this moment.  I find that I have many of these moments and that they build on each other. You should be proud to be part of such a great organization.   (Editors Note:  During this time with fellow clubs, I notice that I felt a strong sense of pride in the Danville club for all the great things that we do and the great people that make up our club.  I am very proud of each of you and I will be honored to serve you next rotary year.)  Special thanks to the Rotarians that went to the District Conference:  Rex Dugan, Suzanne Whicker, Michael Williams, Greg VanLaere, Tracie Shearer, John Battershell, and Ron Bochstahler.  Very Special Thanks to the Spouses:  Sharon Dugan, Herbie Battershell, Dusti VanLaere, Myra Williams, Dave Whicker and Danny Shearer.
