Michael, speaking on international understanding stated good will must be practiced, and must begin with each member. Taylor in guiding the discussion stressed International Youth Exchange and the Lafayette Rotary Foundation. He related many of the activities of the Lafayette Rotary Club throughout the last 55 years projects supported that have accomplished much in the greater Lafayette community. Eth Baugh gave the club an excellent account of the Colt Baseball Program and the current World Series being played at Lafayette. The program is aimed at helping youth become better adults.
Teams are here from as far away as Maryland and Hawaii.
More than fifty local Rotarians have had a part in the local event this year. The Lafayette Rotary Club stood in silence in memory of Eth, and several members paid tribute to his friendship, enthusiasm, and good deeds. It was recalled that for more than thirty years Eth had not missed the annual Football Kickoff luncheon, or the Rotary Glee Club party, both of which he had been instrumental in launching and developing as he had been in so many other Rotary activities. President Taylor read a letter expressing thanks and appreciation from Harrison Trails Council of Boy Scouts of America for assistance from the Lafayette Rotary Club. The Scouts were especially grateful for our sponsorship of the Eagle Scouts' dinner.
