Week 29, January 16-21, 2011

Last week's snowstorm proved to be a real headache after the first 36 hours. I hope you were not as snowbound as the Faulkners. Our street still has icy spots. I did manage to make the joint meeting of the Laurens and Clinton clubs on Thursday. This day marked the beginning of a joint venture between the two clubs on a water project in Honduras. Al Steele assured the clubs that their desire to provide clean water would be fulfilled. It was great to see so many club members from both clubs. Since the beginning of the year, our district has laid to rest three of our own: Wilton McKinney, North Greenville; Marion "Skip" Young, Greenville; and Larry Thomas, Twin Cities. Please keep their families in your thoughts and prayers. If you have not done so, please register for Mid-year Assembly. This is for all Rotarians in the district. The program promises to be a great one and District Governor Elect Gary Goforth has some significant information to share with his President-elects after lunch. Just to let you know that there are still eight spaces available on the train to New Orleans due to a few folks having to drop out. Chip away at the stone and join us for the experience of a lifetime!
