The Friday Program: Salome Thomas-El, Champion for
Combining humor with reality, this award-winning principal from a Philadelphia elementary school, brought a fascinating story of how chess changed the lives of school children in his community while providing the foundation for a nationwide movement. For, you see, Thomas-El reasoned that the game of chess was the key to bring out the best of his kids. And, his hunch proved right. Joining the BBRCs Rourke OBrien who arranged for his visit, Salome explained that he grew up in Philadelphia, one of eight children of a single mother. Our mother helped me get motivated to do more and break out of the chains that hold so many people down in the inner city. I was able to go to college, where my graduation held the promise of a better job. READ MORE
Chandler quoted from The Rotarian, about the growth of Rotary since the fall of the Soviet Union. Dr. Vladimir Donskoy is the first Russian citizen to serve as District Governor of District 5010. A visitor to the BBRC a couple of years ago, Donskoy has distinguished himself as the author of a book that reveals Rotarys special power to build world peace and goodwill. He also explains for his Russian audience how the 4-Way Test works. Don concluded that Donskoys book is a primer for people who have little experience in independence and integrity. Knowledge of this fact strengthens the power of the Rotary Foundation by our gifts. Steve Peters is heading up the Vocation at Work project at Hopelink. He needs volunteers to help with practice interviews for those in training. These are held on Tuesday and Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. To make the program effective, a minimum of six Rotarians is required. Please call Steve and volunteer.
Thought for the Week Weaknesses of character are normally shown in a game of chess. Gary Kasparov. Norm adds: Hmm ... I thought thats why golf was invented! THIS WEEK'S EDITOR THIS WEEK'S PHOTOGRAPHER
