Coming October 14 to North Scott Rotary

Don Doxsie, sports journalist with the Quad-City Times, will talk about his new book, “Iowa Baseball Greats: Six-teen Major Leaguers Who Were in the Game for Life,” on October 14. Doxsie has been a sports journalist for 40 years, most of them with the Times, where he has written about every sport you can imagine. But baseball is a par-ticular passion for him, and he blends his interests in base-ball and history to turn up hundreds of interesting facts about major leaguers who were born right here in Iowa and remained connected to the game throughout their life. Doxsie is also author of a book about Iron Man McGinni-

ty, an Illinois native and Hall of Famer who retired from professional baseball at the age of 54 and whose life was the stuff of legends. If you are a baseball fan, you won’t want to miss Don Doxsie’s presentation.

Here are photos taken last week when 20 members of the Rotary Club of Masaka visited GMOC. It shows caregivers wearing their new Rotary shirts given by the Club

Dear GMOC Sponsors, I am asking you to send the annual sponsor's fee to us by November 20 this year. Then, we can put the money together and wire the funds to Rob-binah by Thanksgiving. That will give her time to deposit the funds and then, use part of the funds for Christmas.

You are only obligated for the $180 for 2017 School Year if your child is still in Primary 1-7, $120 for tuition, or $390 for Secondary grades. Approximately $310 goes to tuition fees for school. The remainder is used for school supplies, back pack and uniforms and personal needs. Most Sponsors have sent along additional funds to be used for a Christmas gift (typically $25) and a Birthday gift (typically $25). If you have a specific item that you want Robbinah to purchase for the child you sponsor, please indicate what you want. Otherwise, she typically chooses practical items like clothes or shoes. The past two years we have helped GMOC sponsor a wonderful Christmas party. Funds we con-tribute are used for buying food (goats, chickens, white rice, sweet potatoes, soft drinks and a Ba-by Jesus Birthday cake) The funds also pay for the tent and rental of a sound system plus balloons and some candy.

Not only are the children we sponsor invited, but also their caregivers and siblings are invited. Tribal and community leaders are invited. A Pastor from a local church is invited and he tells the Christmas story and leads prayers. It is a festive day that they all look forward to. They eat, drink, sing and dance as a part of their Christmas Day tradition. For most, it is the only time they have fresh meat to eat all year. Thank You: Merle Anderson

Foundation Minute for Week of October 10

Rotary clubs around the world are always supportive of projects that truly create an impact on the lives of the people that they serve. One such project comes from the Rotary Club of Ortigas Center in the Philip-pines. They initiated a sight-saving project for children with special needs. At least 350 children were diagnosed for visual impairment, and free eyeglasses were given. In cooperation with the Asian Eye Institute these chil-dren were also pre-screened for cataracts. With improved vision, they will be able to develop their own capabili-ties to their fullest potential. In India smart canes for the visually impaired were donated. These special canes contain an attachment, which is embedded with ultrasonic sensors. They have a range of ten feet and make the user aware of obstacles from the knee up to the head. The club in India donated 200 such canes to the needy. Your contribution to The Rotary Foundation enables the visually handicapped around the world to live a bet-ter and more productive life. Thank you for giving.

LAST WEEK – October 7, 2016 – Joel Youngs: Eastern Iowa Small Business Development Corp.

Patrick announced that ticket sales for the Auction are now open. He is asking for every member to “sign up” to come, so that the committee can have an accurate count of attendee’s. An ongoing list will be available each week, to avoid duplication. The committee anticipates a sell out of the 400 seats. Fifty nine attended on Friday. Doug Peterson from the Iowa Q.C. Rotary club was a guest, along with Jeff Martens, Jon Cole and former member, Margo McInnis. Margo won the 50/50 drawing of $96 and pur-chased Sheila’s cinnamon roll apple pie for $75. Thank you Margo! Joel Youngs gave a lot of interesting information about the free service he provides to counsel and ad-vise small business owners. He protects the confidentially of his clients, therefore many don’t know about his service. He helps educate them and provides workshops, forums and events for them to attend, to learn to be-come a better business owner. Jim Smith was the sergeant and collected $78 in fines. John Maxwell sold this week’s group of good-ies for $540. October birthdays were celebrated.
