Ralph Allen, a native Eastsider, is an architect. His work has taken him around the world and, most recently, to the city of Shanghai, China, where he was the lead architect building the Shanghai Children’s Medical Center. “Project Hope was involved to get the project moving and our company was hired eight years ago to design and oversee the building of the Medical Center. The job was finished and dedicated in June of 1998.”
The Shanghai Children’s Medical Center is a pediatric teaching facility. The Chinese had raised funds to purchase $40 million in medical equipment and they needed a place to put it. Hence, the building of the Medical Center. MORE

Rotary’s Leadership Academy
In an attempt to further spread the gospel of Rotary, Dick Clarke established the District Leadership Academy a year ago and reports that “classes” will begin for the new semester in September. “This is a 10-lesson correspondence course, which digs into what Rotary is all about. It’s an invaluable tool for all Rotarians and particularly those who are in leadership within their clubs. This past year, 20 Rotarians became part of the first graduating class, and I urge all of you to consider enrolling in this special course.” The cost is $75.00. Click here for a registration form.

 Have you heard the one about the Agnostic, the Dyslexic, and the Insomniac?
 They lie awake every night wondering if there really is a dog.
Meanwhile, everything is returning to normal after a goofy three weeks battling the computer. Actually, the battle is with the owner of the computer, who may ignore certain signs and conventions designed for proper maintenance and operation. Learning once again to save your data and in this day-and-age, subscribe to a system that allows a daily scan of programs/data to avoid a dreaded virus. Thus, you should receive your quarterly billing this week. A rapid turnaround to the Treasurer would be appreciated.
