Wow, 2 new Rotarians (Ervin Byrd and Mark McBride) inducted, our own Ted Kirchharr introduced as our new AG, Bob Bothfeld gets his Paul Harris Fellow Plus 5 Award, SubWest earns a Presidential Citation, Ronnie shows slides from the Paint Project and we have a fantastic speaker (Pennye Nixon-West) tell us about Rotary projects in Bolivia!
Pennye is a mom who's daughter Etta, was on a RYE trip, going to school and living in Bolivia. Etta was tragically killed in a bus crash in Bolivia in 2002. How did Etta's mom deal with her grief? In an unimaginably positive way - she set up Etta Projects - an organization to honor her daughter's memory by making a difference in the very community where Etta had lived the last days of her life. What a powerful testimony to the spirit of service above self. Love they neighbor as thyself....
