We got a chance to show off our videos. District Governor Paul Osimo asked me to speak on the public image of Rotary at the Saturday plenary session. I cited the many ways that we publicize our club in the local media and community I came away from the District Conference with the feeling that the Ardmore Rotary Club is one of the most active and healthiest clubs in the District. Our club is involved in more worthwhile projects than any club I know. Our public service activities are well known in the community.
Membership is at an all time high and continues to grow.
As most of you know, our own Jeff Gloss is the founder and president of Carelift International. Two years ago Jeff opened and equipped two state of the art emergency clinics in Uzbekistan, which is on the northern border of Afghanistan. They are very shortly expecting an onslaught of refugees from Afghanistan, which will put a lot of pressure on these clinics. Jeff would like to resupply them from Carelift s inventory. District Governor Paul and I would like our District 7450 to raise funds within the district to send one plane to Uzbekistan.
