Thomas Smith's Eagle Scout Project

 
 
 
Thomas (TJ) Smith
 
Thomas is from Arlington and has been an active member of the Boy Scouts for 7 years with troop 178 based out of Arlington. He is at the rank of Life and is working toward Eagle. In order to accomplish the rank of Eagle, Thomas had to complete an Eagle scout project. Thomas chose to help the Stilly Center by rebuilding a medical storage shed.   Our Club donated $500 toward the $1200 that the project cost to help Thomas in his endeavor.  Thomas, with the help of family and friends,  stripped the shed down to studs and then put it back together with a new roof, siding and even a new door.  Now, the shed has been completely rebuilt and is being used to store medical equipment that the Stilly Valley Center uses for their loaner program.

Thank You Duck Dash Sponsors!

Our Duck Dash sponsors were our special guests at our regular meeting on August 12.  Sponsorship Chair, Jola Barnett, welcomed those sponsors who attended the luncheon.  
 
Sponsorship Luncheon
 
In her opening remarks, Jola reminded us that we are a group dedicated to making our world and our community stronger, and that our community is stronger because of the partnership we have formed with our partners.  As a result, in the last few years we spearheaded building a playground and splash pad at Haller Park.  Over $250,000 of proceeds from our Duck Dashes of 2014 through 2017 and our related Friends of the Park Campaign greatly improved the park.  We were delighted that the splash pad was able to open this May.

Meeting Tomorrow's Water Demand

City of Arlington--Jim Kelly

Rotarian and the Public Works Director for the City of Arlington, Jim Kelly, was our program on August 19.  He started out with a bit of show and tell, with samples of pieces of the water distribution system--old and new.
 
Jim Kelly With a Section of Old Wooden Water Main
 
In addition to the show and tell, Jim gave us some statistics about water:  65% of our body weight is water.  About 3% of the Earth's water is fresh water with most of it locked up in glaciers, ice caps, and permafrost, or it's buried deep in the ground.  With the current drought, there is record low water levels in the Colorado River Basin with the largest US reservoir, Lake Mead, at 35% of capacity.
