This week we had guests Seth Cromer and Jennifer Rominger with us. Word is that Seth is really close to putting in an application to join us.
We are still looking for 1 volunteer for thefirst concert on the square. Time from 8-9pm. Who ever volunteers will be working with an outstanding Rotarian. Please email Rex if you would like to work.
Jim Graham (Brownsburg Rotary) was our program and was introduced by Doug Catt. Jim gave us a brief update on the Qudrat School in Afganistan. The school is making great progress in womens literacy and health issues. They are pulling from five villages and are needing to expand the school. The Afgan government has taken over the payroll of the teachers os the school. There will be more information to come about the funding needs of the school for their expansion. Jim went on to share with us his adventure as the shortest pilot in the Navy. Jim had a desire to be a pilot for the Navy and was not going to let his physical size stop him from meeting that dream. He used someunconventional methods to grow a half inch. Jim developed a plan to grow using a stretch rack and met the 5 foot 6 inch requirement to enter the flight program. Jim's program was entertaining. He showed us slides of the various planes that he has flown over his lifetime. During 1957 there were more planes lost than that are in the Navy fleet today. Jim is the son of Gordon Graham. The Hendricks county airport is named after Jim's father. Reminder: The end of the year celebration will be held on June 28th. Spouses are welcome and encouraged to attend. It will be at the Blanton House at 6pm. Next week Bev Austin will be our speaker from the American Cancer Assoc.
