Ag Day
Welcome to all Farmers. We had a good turn out at the Ellis Park Train Station for Ag Day or Farmers Appreciation. Some of the Farmers were: David Whicker, Phillys Palmer, Jim Loughmiller, JD Mendenhall, Cathy Stamper, Rex Parsons, and Charles and Theresa Brown. This is not a full list, just the names I was able to remember. Sorry to leave anyone out. We were very happy that these folk took the time to share their time with us. The Danville Rotary Club would like to formally thank all farmers for the work that they do.
Other guests included: Interactors: Gary, Lornezo, Gabe, Elliott and Plainfield Rotarian Mike Miller.
Henry Wallis introduced our speaker, Amber Wolfe from AgrAbility. Amber is a Project Coordinator for them. AgrAbility is an organization designed to help farmers with disabilities continue farming. They specialize in Arthritis help. They will work to keep farmers farming. They are receiving funding from the USDA now. 50 million battle Arthritis and mostly women are effected. Amber suggests getting checked out by your doctor if you have problems with your joints not your vet.
Jayson Marksberry and Mike Miller both talked briefly about the tornadoes and destruction in Southern Indiana. Jayson got the word out to the club last week that he had alread made a relief run to Henrysville there weekend before. Jayson let us know what supplies are still needed and that he was collecting those donations with the help of North Salem State Bank. (As of Monday at 10am, I am still waiting on word from Jayson for an update on how things went over the weekend.)Your Chance to Help!
Mike Miller spoke about the opportunity for each club to help on a District Level. Here is a excerpt from the District Website:
