Kelly's North Star
 
 
Showed a clip of a couple of singers Jonathan Antoine and Charlotte Jaconelli on Britain's got Talent. After hearing them sing they got a standing ovation. Charlotte made a difference in his life!
 
When Kelly was growing up he lost his brother to leukemia. Both his parents worked and no one taught him how to do anything. His nick name was Smelly Kelly. His was bullied a lot. One day a teacher ask to meet him after school. Once there the teacher (Mr. Graybill), He said tomorrow bring clothes and will be taught how to wash clothes. He also brought a tooth brush. 
 
 
As time passed Graybill ask Kelly what he enjoyed doing? Being bullied he said he could fight or run. He could run fast. Teacher said your grades aren't good enough for sports. So started tutoring Kelly. Soon enough grades were good enough for sports.
 
 
                                                         This rings true 
Graybill got promoted to principle. Every three or four days it came over speaker Kelly report to Office. Kelly enjoyed going because he knew he would learn something. Make me a Mr Graybill!!

Rotary Foundation Fact

In January 2023 The Rotary Foundation Trustees established two temporary funds to assist Pakistan and Ukraine, two areas that are facing extreme need.

The Pakistan Flood Response Fund and the Ukraine Response Fund address the humanitarian crises caused by devastating flooding in Pakistan and the war in Ukraine. Donors can give directly to relief efforts led by Rotary members.

Why your important to Rotary
 
 
 
Marta picked today the whole club because all contribute to the Club. We are powerful in the way we weld the Club to the outside.
Wine is Fine
 
 
 
 
 Charlie was wearing his Rotary pin when his name was called, so he won a bottle of wine.
It was Angels and Cowboys, sort of fits the picture!
