Gary Olsen, who represents the Dubuque Community Schools, seized the moment for a photo and a quick interview when Kent Renier brought his son, Nathan, to a meeting on his birthday. Nathan announced that at his birthday party, he asked his friends not give him presents but the equivalent in donations they could make to relief efforts conducted by Rotary Club in earthquake ravaged Haiti. The acorn does not fall far from the tree.
Guest of Joey Anderson this week was Kari Bahl.

January 26
Meeting Audio

January 26. 2010: It's president elect Tanya Bottomley, taking the helm of the meeting from Doug Pearce who was indisposed this week. Introducing our speaker was Tim Moothart and our presenter was Josh Jasper with the Riverview Center. His expertise is reducing the potential for violence in the home and particularly that which is perpetrated against women and children. His talk was highly instructional and interactive as he questioned the audience on issues of intervention when witnessing violence in their own neighborhoods or, God forbid, one's own family. It's a fascinating topic and we have it recorded along with the rest of the meeting. Tens of thousands of people from around the world listen to our audios on this Website every week. It's a great way for members to find out what they missed in the event the can't attend a meeting, but, more importantly, it serves as a splendid calling card for prospective members and presenters who wish to become part of our weekly conclave.

Audiophiles Please Take Note: We now offer our meeting recordings in MP3 file format as well as traditional Windows Media format. This audio file should behave like any other audio file in most up-to-date browsers (playing almost instantly), but you can also download this file into your resident MP3 music folder (right click and choose "Save target as," and point the download directly to that folder on your computer).

Once it resides on your computer, your MP3 software (like iTunes) will treat it as a music or podcast file allowing you to add it to a playlist, audio database, etc. from which you can download the file into your iPod, Zune, or similar portable audio device. Give it a try and let us know how it works for you.- Gary O.

    Rotary Club Human Services Committee

    Dubuque Rotary Club Grant Requests (C indicates Contingency funding).The Community and Human Development Committee has revamped the request form that people fill out to apply for finances. To download the Microsoft Word file. Click here. Linked to this website is the important grant request summary document (in Microsoft Word) completed by people in our community representing organizations who seek funding from Rotary Club. The document is quite thick but interesting since it requests over $50,000 from our organization. This is good news, actually, because it gives us the opportunity to set a goal for our fund raising efforts. After all, this is what we are all about.... raising money for humanitarian projects among other things. Here is the committee who must sift through the requests and decide what we will fund. The chairman is Mike Seyer.

    The date for accepting applications for grants is September 1, 2009 and ending November 30, 2009. This gives the subcommittee enough time to evaluate all of the applications we receive in a timely manner.
