Sooner Rotarians start Tuesday off with awards, a song and a guest.

 

Wade Stewart was inducted into our club this morning. Welcome to Sooner Rotary, Wade!

Derek Osborn with OU’s Rotaract club gave us an update on their activities which includes fundraising for Japan relief.

Glenda Thomas presented Paul Harris pins to Anne Masters, plus one, and Kevin Murphy, plus four. Thanks for your support of Rotary Foundation!

Le Tour de Vin is finally here! Join this three-club fundraiser this weekend. Friday night is SOLD OUT, but there are still tickets available for Saturday night. Call 405-308-5944 to order yours TODAY!

 

Judy Simpkins announced LTDV raised over $56k in sponsorships; that surpasses the goal of $55k. Thanks for your support and thanks to Judy and her committee!

 

Opportunities for assisting with RYLA camp abound. You probably saw Joan Barker’s email earlier this week. She still needs volunteers to help with delivery/pickup of T-shirts. Contact her if you are able to help out.

 

We sang along with Lacy J Dalton this morning to a song she wrote about the Four Way Test, ‘We Are Rotary’. Lacy is an honorary member of the Reno, NV, Rotary club and produced a CD with this song, ‘This Close’, a song about Polio Plus, and ten other songs. The CD is being sold as a fundraiser for the Reno, NV, club to benefit Polio Plus. If you’d like to purchase a copy, go to www.lacyjdalton.com.

Our program this morning was presented by Dr. William Orr with the Lynn Health Institute at the OU Health Sciences Center. He discussed why drugs cost so much. For more information about his research work check out: http://lhsi.net/index.htm

 

Have a great week and remember....

 

EVERY ROTARIAN, EVERY YEAR!
