Our Ambassadorial Scholar is busy preparing for her scholarship. Look for her presentation to our club on November 6th. Here's Sarah:
Hello Howell Rotarians,
This is Sarah Heddon, the Albion College Student who applied for the Ambassadorial Scholarship through Howell. I've advanced to the next level and greatly appreciate your support!
I have enjoyed receiving your e-updates and I have an idea of how the Howell Rotary Club might get involved with my project. I plan to work with a Rotary Club in Mombasa, Kenya and am conjuring up an image of a cross-cultural partnership between Rotary clubs in two different parts of the world.
I look forward to making my presentation to Howell Rotary regarding my reserach. Thank you so much!!
Peace and Smiles, Sarah
Sarah's enthusiasm is uplifting. Kenya? Yes you can!

The Tigers are falling quickly. Pitching has been good, but the hitting is weak. Don't give up!
"I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it."
Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969)
"The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us."
Black Elk (1863-1950)
