Roseland Rotary Meeting November 30, 2017
What a great day at the Roseland Rotary. Yes we had sunshine, a great group of Rotarians, a good speaker and the return of two snowbirds for the holidays. In attendance were 17 members and our speaker. It was a good group of the finest young people Rotary has to offer. Yes you guessed it, Wally Johnson and Ben Bendit were back at Rotary!
I was in Tampa, FL the other day. I saw a bumper sticker on a parked car that read: "I miss 
Chicago". So I broke the window, stole the radio, shot out two of the tires, added an Obama bumper sticker and left a note that read,"Hope this helps.”

Can I have a puppy for Christmas?
Certainly not. You can have turkey like everybody else!

Winnie Farquhar announced that the Thanksgiving Basket program was a great success and thanked everyone for their help. Morey Rosen, Jason Taege, Dave Keck, Wally Johnson, Don 
Kulwicki, Erin & George Bonin and Paula & Tom Sours were all a great help. Thanks also to Martin’s Supermarket, Bob Evens, Perkins and Country Bakery for their support. Al Veldman lost the keys to his truck and so he was ½ hour late showing up. Al’s good friend Dave Keck made sure we all heard about it.

Joe Maloney, for Mark Berta passed around a list for the Healthwin’s Gift program. Members picked out a name to buy a gift for. This is an annual program for Roseland Rotary and all members should participate. Items needed were listed for every recipient and a price suggestion of $10 to $15.00. Contact Joe Maloney to volunteer to assist with this very worthwhile program.
Christmas Party Time. Roseland Rotary’s Christmas parties are always a lot of fun and this year will be no exception. Please plan on attending December 14, 2017 starting at 6:00pm at the Waterford. Please bring a present to exchange for a White Elephant Gift Exchange. A spending limit of $10 is recommended per person. So everyone attending should bring a gift to exchange. Come and have a ball. You can bring your wife, girlfriend or whoever.
Bell Ringing, a list was passed around however it has mysteriously disappeared. As a result a new sheet will be developed. We do know that it is two Saturdays and we are inside the mall, thank goodness. We are not sure but we think it is from 10:00am to 8:00pm. You should be hearing more very soon.
Winnie Farquhar’s 98 year old brother who served in the Navy during WWII and two subsequent wars was honored at the Notre Dame game. He got to see himself on the JumboTron along with Winnie and some of the family. It was quite an emotional moment for Winnie and her family.
Anyone who believes that men are the equal of women has never seen a man trying to wrap a Christmas present!
David Keck collected some happy dollars including one from himself for being so happy for our speaker. Dick Jankowski was happy for the weather, Wally Johnson and Don Kulwicki, No Pin and 
not real happy about it. Frank Toepp missed an appointment with Winnie, should have been fined $10.00 as a late fee. Winnie Farquhar was happy the Thanksgiving Basket program went so well. Jay Harwood was happy Purdue beat Indiana. Jay was also fined for his being on TV during a ND game. Al Veldman was just happy to be here. Joe Maloney was happy his wife is heading to Munich, where she will meet the grandkids and fly them back to South Bend. Is Joe happy she is leaving or that the kids are coming to visit?

We imagine a world in which all students have the opportunity to reach their full potential in their inclusive campus communities.
At InterAction, we use storytelling and the arts to build inclusive communities. We channel raw individual narratives on identity and difference into solutions that transform campuses into environments where all students can flourish.
Graduates of the University of Notre Dame who established and developed the highly successful program Show Some Skin founded InterAction Initiative Inc. Since 2011, Show Some Skin has helped Notre Dame to realize its true diversity by collecting the anonymously written narratives of students, faculty, and staff on identity and difference, sharing them as a community theater production, and then bringing those stories back into the community as a campus resource to foster dialogue and to promote social change.
For the past 5 years, Show Some Skin's community theater productions have experienced sold out

performances with over 900 audience members. Between 60-100 stories are collected & archived each year. Every year we engaged over 1,000 individuals in our program as participants, audience members, volunteers, writers, and actors. Stories collected have gone far beyond the stage as monologues have been used in classrooms, trainings for resident assistants, and in the First Year Moreau seminar taken by all Notre Dame first year students. ND Show Some Skin continues to play a significant role in fostering inclusion on Notre Dame's campus. We bring together a diverse background of experiences and skills to our stellar team. Together we are passionate about building inclusive communities and have all been impacted by the stories that have challenged and inspired our work.
NOTE, Next week’s meeting will be held in the ballroom.
NOTE, there will be NO MEETING December 28, 2017.
Happy Bill Brennen won the drawing and will be buying every Roseland Rotarian a new Cadillac for Christmas.
Be good Rotarians and ring the bell for Christmas and the Salvation Army.
