On a perfectly beautiful fall afternoon, President Arnold gonged us to order At 12:02. David Hartman thoughtfully led us in prayer and Stacie Cook, subbing for Cara Sauceda, led us in The Pledge of Allegiance and a lively rendition of Old McDonald Had a Farm. We then greeted one another as we mumbled ROTARY.
Carla Dowlen introduced Vonda Keel as our only guest this week. Lisa Stephens-Musick recognized John Deason as our birthday celebrant of the week.
James Hughes reported that his dad Jim was home and resting well after a recent bout with a respiratory infection. Please keep Jim in your thoughts and prayers.
Arnold reminded us of the November 9th dedication at the Beacon Lighthouse for the Blind for a new awning that the three Rotary clubs in Wichita Falls assisted in Providing.
Arnold also reminded us that our District Governor will be at our November 17th meeting. Please be sure to wear your Paul Harris Medallion to this meeting.
In our Member Spotlight, Brady Woolsey introduced himself and told us of his 45-year career with TX DOT and kinda bragged about having worked with both Larry Tegtmeyer and Arnold Oliver.
Benay Ayers introduced John Kazor from the Rotary Club of Lewisville who enlightened us regarding a Rotary Global Project providing Mobile Medical Clinics in Ukraine. Hospitals in Ukraine have been targeted by Russia because they're thought to be used to store weapons. These mobile units are being manufactured in Ukraine and serve as temporary replacements for these hospitals. Each unit costs $35,000. The initial goal is to produce three units.
David Hartman introduced Benny Ayers as our program today. We were given a tutorial regarding the Club Runner app for our phone. Installation of the app on your phone and computer will keep us all better-informed regarding Rotary.
We closed with the Four Way Test at 1:03.
