Last Week’s Program...
Fellow Rotarian Chris Derry from Bowling Green introduced and explained the role of the Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy Solutions. It is an independent, non-profit, non-partisan center, which analyzes local and state laws and regulations and presents free-market solutions to the most pressing issues that face Kentuckians.

The Bowling Green based institute is an association of thinkers, writers and speakers committed to the pursuit of free-market policy decisions consistent with the respect for individual liberty, economic freedom, personal responsibility and respect for others.

Thanks for a great program.

Attendance: 84

Highest Attendance This Year: 98

Invocation, Pledge & 4-Way Test: Ken Lawson

Thought for the Week: "A mind, like a home, is furnished by its owner, so if one’s life is cold and bare he can blame none but himself."  - Louis L'Amour (1908 - 1988), 'Bendigo Shafter'

YOUR PRESIDENT SPEAKS:
Why Join Rotary? Reason # 6: Continuing Education: Each week at Rotary there is a program designed to keep one informed about what is going on in the community, nation and world. Each meeting provides an opportunity to listen to different speakers and a variety of timely topics.

Remember, new members are our lifelines to the future. Invite a friend or business associate to consider membership in Rotary.

Have a great week,

Jeff
