Wild Game Cookout
The 43rd Annual Wild Game Cookout was held the past Friday night and was a success.  Thanks to all those that helped with this event.  Without all those that sold tickets, helped with the pre-event preparations, worked the night of the event and helped with the clean up, this event would not be possible.  Thanks again.
 
********************************************************************************
**** Very Important Wild Game wrap up ****
#1- It is very important to turn in any unsold tickets and money for ticket sales  right away.
#2-  Receipts for expenses that need to be reimbursed should be submitted to Brett Mueller.  Each individual should submit a sheet of paper listing the expenses and who should be reimbursed with the attached receipts.  Please do not turn in an unorganized wad of receipts.
#3- All committees should prepare a report and turn it in.  This report should contain all information related to their committee.  Who was on the committee, what supplies were ordered (and do any of those need to be increased or decreased for next year's event, What is the process for preparing your final product (this should be detailed enough that if no one on your committee was available others could step in and complete the necessary steps), is there anything that needs to be done differently the next year?

Calling For Your Wild Game Photos
I would like to compile all the photos related to wild game to post in albums on our website and Facebook.  Please send me any photos you have taken during the preparation for the cookout, during the event, or during the clean up. You may either e-mail them to me at wp.wicker@gmail.com or text them to me at 813-731-8360.  I was unable to take many photos this year so your cooperation will not only help document the event but provide photos for use in promoting future events.  Please note by sending these photos you are giving permission for them to be posted on-line or used in future print media or presentations.

The Atlanta Host Organization Committee is offering some good old-fashioned Southern hospitality at the Rotary International Convention from 10 to 14 June. It has planned a wide range of activities featuring everything from good food and music to inspiring tours of local landmarks. If it’s your first convention, these events are chances to meet fellow Rotarians from around the world, and if you’re an experienced convention goer, you can catch up with old friends. Hall of Fame baseball player Hank Aaron will host Rotarians for a “Strike Out Polio” night at the new SunTrust Park, where you’ll...
 
When Teguest Yilma helped found the Rotary Club of Addis Ababa Entoto in 2002, she thought polio had already been eradicated from most of the world. But while Ethiopia had been free of the disease, Yilma was shocked to learn that new cases had started cropping up in surrounding countries such as Somalia. “I was thinking, it’s not possible, we can’t be free if the countries around us are not free,” she says. Yilma, the managing editor of Capital, Ethiopia’s largest English weekly newspaper, has brought a journalist’s skills to the fight against polio. She became vice chair of the Ethiopia...
 
Battling breast cancer in 2000, Kathryn Smith found comfort pursuing her lifelong interest in Franklin D. Roosevelt. The more she read, the more intrigued she became with the 32nd U.S. president’s private secretary, Marguerite Alice “Missy” LeHand. “I thought, what a fascinating life she had because she was by his side through the polio crisis, establishing the polio rehabilitation center in Warm Springs and then after his return to politics,” she says. Smith, a past president of the Rotary Club of Greater Anderson, S.C., and a longtime newspaper journalist, turned that curiosity into a book...
 
One of United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s earliest memories is of fleeing with his family into the mountains during the Korean War, his village burning behind him. His father and grandfather had to forage for food in the woods; his mother gave birth to his siblings away from anything remotely resembling a health facility. “I have known hunger,” he says. “I have known war, and I have known what it means to be forced to flee conflict.” The soldiers who came to their rescue were flying the blue flag of the United Nations. The UN provided them with food and their schools with books....
 
Like a lot of us, I spent much of my childhood riding bikes, but fell out of the habit for a while. Forty years. Then my wife and I moved to New York, where cyclists risk their necks in a daily Thunderdome of cabs, police cars, firetrucks, double-decker buses, messengers on motorbikes, and delivery trucks backing around corners at 20 miles an hour. Not for me! At least not until my 50th birthday, when my metabolic furnace flamed out. Calories started going directly from beer bottle to beer belly. It was time to start exercising. Either that or give up Samuel Adams, and I couldn’t do that to...
