Congratulations to Club Member, Dr. Michael Graves World President of The International Fellowship of Flying Rotarians
May 6-9th, Rotarians all over the world will be attending the Rotary International Convention in Bangkok, Thailand...including our own, Dr. Michael Graves. Let's keep him in our thoughts and prayers this week as he travels abroad and Represents The Rotary Club of Plainview, Texas.
From Club President, Coralyn Dillard:
This week's "This Close" Update picture features a child receiving the Oral Polio Vaccine in India. For an average cost of $.60 this child is protected from the paralyzing Wild Polio Virus. Your donations to The Rotary Foundation for PolioPlus go directly to Polio immunization activities and research.
Right now...PDG Dr. Michael Graves is attending the 2012 RI Convention in Bangkok, Thailand, 6-9 May. Let's keep Dr. Graves in our thoughts and prayers as he travels back home at the end of this week. To read more about the GREAT things going on in Bangkok, log on to www.rotary.org .
What to EXPECT at Rotary in Plainview this week: 1) Induction of Newest Member, Gordan Ziegler, whose grandfather was in the charter club of The Rotary Club of Plainview, TX in 1921. In fact, I learned last week that the ZIZZER was originally named by his grandfather Ziegler...thus Ziegler's ZIZZER! 2) Announcement of another Grant from the Walmart Foundation 3) Classification Talksfrom our Newest Members AND a "seasoned" member, as well. Hmmmm....I wonder who it might be?
Only Four Polio Cases Reported in One Country - Worldwide This Week! Did You Know? Thanks to the work of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), Days of Tranquility have been brokered in Afghanistan, Chad, Somalia and Sudan, in which warring factions have laid down their arms long enough to allow children to receive the Polio vaccine.
Next Week Preview: We, the Rotary Club of Plainview, plans to honor our FIRST RESPONDERS (Police and Fire Department) with a Citizenship AWARD. The entire force has been invited. You won't want to miss the program on May 15th as we tell a few heartwarming stories and honor those who remain available to us 24/7.
I am honored to be a part of this wonderful organization. Thank you for your dedicated service to our club. Congratulations to Rotarian J.B. Roberts, Plainview Chamber of Commerce 'Man of the Year'!
From the Plainview Herald: "Roberts is a founding member of Plainview-Hale County Industrial Foundation and one of seven men recognized for helping bring the Wal-Mart Distribution Center to Plainview. "A decorated Rotarian who exemplifies that club's motto of "Service Above Self," Roberts helps provide food and humanitarian aid to people around the world. A licensed pilot for more than 50 years, he spent 23 years on the Hale County Airport Board, 22 years on the Plainview Cemetery Board and has served on the Wayland Baptist University Board of Trustees.
"Roberts received the John Ben Sheppard Texas Leadership Award in 2006 for demonstrating community leadership while exhibiting character and high standards of ethics. He serves on The Salvation Army Board and is a deacon at First Baptist Church."
