(full schedule) The free lectures and presentations by local scholars, authors and artists are open to the public. Drop in for a particular session or stay all day!

Throughout the conference, attendees can meet and greet krewe leaders and members or become a krewe member, and view costumes and other items related to the 17- year-old walking parade that marches each Twelfth Night in the French Quarter on Joan of Arc’s birthday, January 6th.

I want to update the club on the status of the wheels
Thanks to all of the members that participated in the “Wheels” program. In the first round of “wheels” we have three names drawn. They are:
Ernesto Carballo
Gayle Dellinger
Charles Neyrey
In addition to the fund donors, we have been able to accelerate the process by having other members donate their points. The members that donated their accumulated points are:
Carl Davis
John Olinde
Peter Waring
These points donors can be you! If during your time in Rotary you have donated money to the IR Foundation and you have already received a Paul Harris fellowship, to can donate your points. Just contact me for details at 786-223-6051.
With an additional five new donations of $100 we will be drawing another new Paul Harris Fellow at the meeting this week! Once a wheel is completed and all of the donations are collected, all the names are placed in a hat to draw one person and that person will receive the Paul Harris Fellow Award. It’s That simple.
Please Join me in making the Paul Harris Wheels a success!
