Service Above Self – Making a Difference

Editor – PP Geoff HorvathThis month is Rotary’s Membership and Extension
Month, and while we are reaching the end of the month,
I felt that we should all think about what this means.
Membership and Extension is an ongoing part of beinga Rotarian so we do not confine ourselves to making aneffort on membership during August only. But was does
having more members really mean?
• Is it to make the President look good?
• Is it to beat other clubs by having the most members?
• Is it to “Enrich your life by meeting people fromdifferent backgrounds”

club of Amsterdam-Arena. This is a very poignant
message about the opportunities that exist within ourorganization; this is not just about the international
opportunities but also about what exists within our own
community. Twinsburg is a richly diverse city withpeople from many cultures and walks of life who could
make great Rotarians.
Rotary International has a statement on diversity;
Rotary International recognizes the value of diversity
within individual clubs. Rotary encourages clubs toassess those in their communities who are eligible formembership, under existing membership guidelines,andto endeavor to include the appropriate range ofindividuals in their clubs. A club that reflects its
community with regard to professional and businessclassification, gender, age, religion and ethnicity is aclub with the key to the future.

The first two are probably the end result of having astrong membership, but not the reason. The third one isa quote from Rotarian Andro Bottse from the Rotary

PP Doc McKenzie

From what we were told, Doc McKenzie may not be ofScots extraction!
Actually, Doc was born in Texas in the early 40’s to aPolish Mom and an Italian Dad. He had two oldersisters, from another marriage.
His mother didn’t know she was pregnant with him, until
she sat on a toilet seat, and gave birth!! Doc must havebeen a wee lad!! The family was poor at the time.
After being born, his mother and family lived on a farm
until his dad moved the family to Mingus, a small cityin Palo Pinto County, Texas. It was kind of touchy
because this little city was populated with Italians, while
Doc’s mom was Polish. I guess the two didn’t mix verywell.
Doc had a good childhood, doing well in school, thenattending college and medial school in Texas. One ofthe memorable times for Doc was working at a TB
hospital or sanitorium in Galveston, TX. The State
Tuberculosis Hospital opened in 1953 to care forpatients from Central and South Texas. In 1955, 550
additional beds were added to the original 408 beds.
By 1959, the 958 bed State TB Hospital was thelargest among the 21 TB sanatoria in Texas and oneof the largest TB sanatoria in the US.
While still a young lad, his father took his family backto Medina, Italy, to visit family, where he and his family
met Pope Pius XII. Doc actually shaking hands with thePontiff!

When the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company was firstestablished in 1898, America was in the midst of theIndustrial Revolution. Wanting to follow suit with therest of the nation and continue to push boundaries,
Goodyear wanted to explore a world beyond tires
and rubber.
It was then and there that Goodyear threw its hat in
the ring of lighter-than-air balloons and aircrafts, andthe concept for the Goodyear Blimp was born.
Goodyear built the Wingfoot Lake Airship Base near
Akron, Ohio as it’s aviation headquarters. This location
remains one of the oldest airbases in the United States.
Through the early 1900’s, Goodyear designed andcreated balloons for competitions, until the first
iterations of the iconic blimp, known as B-types and Ctypes, were created in 1917 for use by the U.S Navy.
In 1919, Goodyear started operating its own airshipfleet.

While we were enjoying a scrumptious meal at theMango Street Grill, which was packet tonight, whoshould come walking through the door but Past
President Alex Kanamu and Past Secretary, Alison
Kanamu! Both are looking good and are spending
some family time here before going back to their homein Texas.
