He announced our guests Officer Ted Bell, GuHyoun Nam, Susan Clovile-Hall & Dennis Eberhart. and forgot to announce his guest at his table, Kevin.

Happy Buck- Bruce Redmon Good Grief Golf Outing, please see Bruce if interested in being a tee sponsor, May 16th at Fox Den 9am. no birthdays or anniversaries today. Rotary Fun Fact: What was Rotary’s motto prior to service above self? “Did the check clear?” Steve Fry is genius. “One profits most who serves best...” was the actual answer. We donated the the card to the Interact Club’s talent show on Friday May 16th. He then gave us some Ohio trivia. It was... interesting. Then he told a joke about Dick Hall in a million dollar car, and Tony Falcione on a mo-ped with suspenders on. It was a little lengthy, however it got a chuckle. Steve Fry had the winning ticket, and pulled the 2 of spades.

GUEST: Gu Hyoun Nam is from Korea and Bob met him at the conference over the weekend, He is 18 years old and has studied English for 7 years. He spoke and received a flag from our club, as well as he presented our club with a flag from his club in South Korea. Very interesting young man who is grateful for the opportunities through Rotary.
GUEST SPEAKER: Sara Drew- Introduced Officer Ted Bell, and his dog Mingo. Mingo is our female k-9 she is the first Malinaw (sp?) vs Sheppard. She has been in service with us for the past 6 months, and she is doing so well. She is young and full of energy! She has helped track down some not so good things in our community. She is trained to seek out Marajuana, Cocaine, Meth, Heroine and human scent. He then demonstrated what Mingo does. He showed us how obedient she is. Most all of the dogs are trained in German, so when dogs are imported they choose the dog. He then hid some drugs in Katie Wrights purse. He found it! Look for the video on our Facebook page! She’s an amazing animal and has superior skills. The program is funded by profits of drug money from busts that our department does. The dogs really reduce risk on the city, because the dog can have the suspect bow down, and they are then apprehended.
What an exciting day! Check out and “LIKE” our new facebook page. It is a community page that will get more traffic and is easier to promote. To view a video of Katie Wright, and Mingo finding her suspicious purse contents.... click here and check it out!
