Governor Glenn Smith
There was just the Rotary Club of Payson when Glenn moved to Payson in 1997. As the town and the Club grew, the
need for a second club was born and Rim Country Rotary-Payson Club was organized in 1997 with Glenn as a charter member and the charter Treasurer. He was treasurer for a few years and the club president in 2003-04. Glenn was his
club's Centennial Rotarian of the Year.
At the District level, Glenn served three years as the Assistant Governor. He also served as a Sergeant-at-Arms for two District Conferences, was on the District PR Committee and assigned to the District Finance Committee.
Glenn has been married for 49 years to Sherry, a charming and friendly partner with an easy smile. Sherry became an Honorary Member of the Rim Country Rotary-Payson Club 2003. As District 5510 First Lady, she adds special
warmth to all the meetings that she attends with her husband. They will celebrate their 50" anniversary within months
of the end of Glenn's year as District Governor.

BUILDING COMMUNITIES, BRIDGING CONTINENTS
Bigger Clubs:
You need to diversify your membership as it will improve your recruitment and retention efforts.
Age: Recent global demographic surveys tend to indicate some interesting statistics:
o Approximately 68% of our members are 50 years old or older.
o It is estimated that our members’ average age is approximately 57-58 years. o Average age for your club is approximately 55 years
o Approximately 79% of the membership base is still working in some capacity
Gender: Global - Male to female ratio is 85% to 15% ~ District: 79% to 21% ~ Club: 70% to 30%
Question:
1) Is YOUR club attracting the younger business professionals?
2) How can YOUR club change your approach to make it easier and more beneficial for them to join?
Better Clubs:
Balance in the five Avenues of Service (Club, Community, Vocational, International Service and New
Generations)
Each avenue of service should be attractive to individual members.
You need to use Rotary’s core values of Service, fellowship, diversity, integrity and leadership) to promote what
Rotary is all about.
Your club should think longer terms in your planning horizon — not just one year but 3-5 years = CONTINUITY
By developing leaders in the community, Rotary offers an opportunity to advance ones skill set and professional
capabilities.
Bolder Clubs:
Here we begin to step out of the box a bit.
You need to be a flexible and innovative club.
You need to be an action-oriented club that gets things done, taking action to solve community problems.
Your projects need to be significant and signature projects in your community that will display boldness within
the community.
And, let’s not forget about promoting Rotary’s networking opportunities—it sells today, especially in a down
economy. Rotary was started for networking opportunities.
Club Status:
I Challenge you to exceed…..

DG’s Strategic Plan
As Rotarians, we need to ―Seize the Vision‖. If we reject the possibility that it may work, we may miss the opportunity. The success of a vision rests on
the willingness of people to examine the vision’s potential.‖ As Rotary
International President Ray Klinginsmith said: We must be ―BIGGER – BETTER – BOLDER‖.
I have chosen to focus my efforts this year toward helping you and your
Club to ―Seize the Vision‖ – your Rotary vision
A Vision is future oriented. It is not so much a solution to current problems as it is a glimpse of what the future could be if specific things happen. It is
a view of future possibilities rather than a criticism of the present. A vision
always brings into being a strategy for making the vision come to pass. It finds it power in a practical proposal for its fulfillment.
Author Bill Carter, outlined six steps to fulfilling a vision:
1) ―Seize the Vision.‖ ~ As Rotarians, we need to ―Seize the Vision.‖ If we reject the possibility that it may work, we may miss the
opportunity. The success of a vision rests on the willingness of
people to examine the vision’s potential.
2) ―Clarify the Vision‖ ~ The visionary must have a very compelling insight. You must be able to put it into a form so that those who are called upon to accomplish it, can understand it.
3) ―Test the Vision‖ ~ Your vision should be tested among appropriate groups to see how well it is understood and
what may be required for its acceptance 4) ―Form the Vision‖ ~ You must reduce it to a clear, concise statement and express it in terms people will
understand. You must outline the steps for its completion.
5) ―Share the Vision‖ ~ You need to share it with your club, your district or both. You must help those who will
accomplish it and those who will benefit from it to buy into the process, and accept responsibility for the vision’s fulfillment.
6) ―Incarnate the Vision‖ ~ Bring it down to earth. Make it real. Give it a presence. Help it live.
District Goals
District and Club Strategic Planning and Visioning – Where are you going and how will you get there?
―The strength of Rotary is determined by the strength of the clubs…where clubs are weak, Rotary is weak. If your
club is not performing as it should the tools are available for you to change. Club Visioning is one of the most effective of those tools.‖ PRIP Bill Boyd

Police officers gathered Monday morning for the funeral of Sgt. Sean
Drenth, 35, who was found shot to death by his own shotgun last Monday.
The sergeant was found by Capitol police in an industrial dirt lot not far from the State Capitol in downtown Phoenix. The police are treating the case as a
homicide, but do not have any suspects at this point.
Services for Drenth, a 12-year-veteran of the force, were held at Christ's Church of the Valley in Peoria.
Drenth was laid to rest at Phoenix Memorial Park. Drenth, 35, is survived by
his wife of 13 years.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone, MT, or the Arizona Humane
Society.
The Drenth family released the following statement through the Phoenix Police Department.
―We would like to thank everyone for their support during this devastating
and difficult time for our family. The grief we are feeling is impossible to put into words.
Sean was many things to many people but to us he was a beloved husband, son, grandson, nephew and cousin. Sean filled
our lives in every way, especially with his love, generosity and humor. To say that Sean had a great sense of humor is an
understatement. He had a passion for music, guitars and animals. Sean’s two "best friends" were his dogs, Chili and Belle,
and he had a song for every occasion. Words cannot possibly begin to express the void this tragedy will leave in all of our lives.
We are so very proud of Sean and the honorable profession he chose and so loved. We all know the dangers associated
with the job but still no one ever imagines something this devastating will ever actually happen to their family. Sean was so proud of the uniform he wore and
the fellow officers he served with on
the Phoenix Police Department.
Given the level of support they have shown us the past few days, we can
now understand why Sean
considered them his second family.
This is a loss to our family that we
will never get over. As we struggle
with the loss of Sean, we want to take this opportunity to thank the
Phoenix Police Department and the
community for the support they are
providing.
Thank you for respecting our
family's privacy as we grieve.
Sadly, the sound of Sean's music and laughter is silenced and will be
missed forever.‖

Making a Difference...Making a Difference...
So, RIM's fundraiser, A Dollar Makes A Difference (http://www.adollarmakesadifference.com), kicked off this last
weekend - how many of you would be willing to help us prove a point? We have been challenged (by the "YES I CAN"
man himself, Don Ratliff) to set a big goal for this fundraiser. We were originally going to go for $25,000.00. Don challenged us to double that, which we found very exciting and adventurous, in all sorts of ways that have caused RIM
and I (Mrs. Rim) to both grow as individuals and as partners in both life and this endeavor. We are very grateful for that!
So, here's where we can use your help.
This fundraiser began last Saturday October 9, 2010 with the kick-off party, and it will end officially on Saturday January
8, 2011 with a party that is ALREADY promising to be a huge event!
During these three months - amidst all the activities and events and contests and raffles that will be getting under way - we
are going to ask for people to participate by donating just ONE DOLLAR to this fundraiser. Of course, if people would like to give more, that would CERTAINLY be welcome. But the whole point behind "A Dollar Makes A Difference" is
this: $50,000.00 SEEMS like a lot of money to raise, doesn't it? Now look at it this way... What if 50,000 PEOPLE each
gave ONE DOLLAR APIECE?! That seems a lot more do-able, doesn't it? What would happen if YOU were to donate just ONE DOLLAR, and then ask one or two of your friends to do the same? Would you be willing to part with ONE
DOLLAR to be a part of something HUGE to benefit a group of heroes who are not only worthy of our attention and
appreciation, but who DESERVE our attention, appreciation and admiration?
We are asking for your help in the form of giving just ONE DOLLAR, and then asking your friends to do the same. What's a dollar to you? What if YOUR dollar is the one that makes the difference? Guess what... IT IS!!
We are so grateful for your willingness to participate! And I, personally, am so very grateful for your help in contributing
to my husband's success in this venture that is so incredibly close to his heart.
God bless America, and God bless those men and women and their
families, who have sacrificed - for us - more than we can ever hope to really comprehend or appreciate.

A Dollar Makes A Difference
A dollar can make a difference
It can change a person's life
It can serve a soldier in combat It can serve that soldier's wife*
We let our soldiers know that we care
By supporting Packages From Home Your dollar will go toward shipping
A package of "care" to the combat zone
And when our troops return
They sometimes need a hand
The Emergency Relief Fund Provides "solution" for problems unplanned
As we raise money to help these two charities
Our intention is simply to serve The men and women who give of themselves
That our forefathers' Dreams be preserved.
By Sandra Anne Daly
*We would like to acknowledge that we are aware that there are women in the military, as well, and husbands here at
home—the word ―wife‖ just works well for the poem. Thank you for understanding.
Get Involved! This project runs through January 8th
REGISTRATION: $300 if you register prior to December 15th. ~
$340 if you register before March 31st. ~ $380 if you register after that.
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS
The Birthplace of Horror
Universal Horror is the name given to a series of distinctive horror, suspense and science fiction films
made by Universal Studios from 1923 to 1960. The series began with the 1923 version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and continued with such movies as The Phantom of the Opera, Dracula, Frankenstein,
The Mummy, Bride of Frankenstein, Werewolf of London, Son of Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, The
Wolf Man, and Creature from the Black Lagoon. The iconic gallery of monsters created by Universal has created a lasting impression on generations of avid moviegoers around the world.
1910s (The Early Years)
Universal started out by the name Independent Moving Pictures Company (IMP). Universal had only one
horror film Dr Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1913). This was huge because this was one of the first horror films ever made.
1920s (The Silent Era)
Universal's earliest success in the horror genre was the historical drama The Hunchback of Notre Dame in 1923. It starred Lon Chaney in the title role. The lavish production sets rebuilt 15th-century Paris on an
epic scale, even re-creating the famed Notre Dame de Paris cathedral.
A runaway success at the box-office, Hunchback of Notre Dame inspired Universal to produce their first true horror film, The Phantom of the Opera, based on the mystery novel by Gaston Leroux. The film was
released in 1925. Chaney designed and endured torturous make-up that even exceeded the demands of his
previous role as the Hunchback. And as with the film Hunchback, the sets played an important part in the
film. The interior of the Opéra Garnier was recreated to scale, and remains one of the longest-standing film sets to this day. It was used for the 1943 remake with Claude Rains, as well as numerous other
The Phantom of the Opera
(1925)
previous role as the Hunchback. And as with the film Hunchback,
the sets played an important part in
the film. The interior of the Opéra Garnier was recreated to scale, and
remains one of the longest-standing
film sets to this day. It was used for the 1943 remake with Claude Rains,
as well as numerous other pictures.
The set is contained on Stage 28 at
Universal, which was constructed specifically for the film and dubbed
"The Phantom Stage."
Chaney, who was a free-lance player at the time of Phantom of the
Opera's production, signed a
contract at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
and could no longer produce character roles for Universal. His
death in 1930 ended any possibility
of his leaving MGM for another studio, and Universal turned their
attentions to other actors such as
German character actor Conrad Veidt, who was a success in 1928's
The Man Who Laughs.
1930s (The Golden Age)
Béla Lugosi as Count DraculaIn
spite of the Great Depression,
executive Carl Laemmle Jr
produced massive successes for the studio with Dracula (directed by
Tod Browning) and Frankenstein
(directed by James Whale), both in 1931.
Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's
MonsterThe success of these two
movies launched the careers of Béla Lugosi and Boris Karloff, and
ushered in a whole new genre of
American cinema. With Universal at the forefront, film makers would
continue to build on their success
with an entire series of monster movies. These films also provided
steady work for a number of genre
actors including Lionel Atwill,
Dwight Frye, Edward Van Sloan, and John Carradine. Other regular
talents involved were make-up
artists Jack Pierce and Bud Westmore, and composers Hans J.
Salter and Frank Skinner. Many
of the horror genre's most well-known conventions—the creaking
staircase, the cobwebs, the swirling
mist and the mobs of peasants
The Bride of
Frankenstein
(1935)
of the horror genre's most well-known conventions—the creaking staircase, the cobwebs, the swirling mist and the mobs of peasants pursuing monsters with torches—originated from these films and those that followed.
Boris Karloff as the MummyThe Mummy was produced in 1932, followed by a trilogy of films based on the tales of
Edgar Allan Poe: Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932), The Black Cat (1934) and The Raven (1935), the latter two of which teamed up Lugosi with Karloff. The Invisible Man, released in 1933, was a phenomenal hit and would spawn
several sequels. Of all the Universal monsters, the most successful and sequelized was undoubtedly the Frankenstein
series, which continued with Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Dracula too had its share of sequels, beginning with
Dracula's Daughter in 1936, although none would feature its original leading man, Bela Lugosi.
1936 also marked the end of Universal’s first run of horror films as the Laemmles were forced out of the studio after
financial difficulties and a series of box office flops. The monster movies were dropped from the production schedule
altogether and wouldn’t re-emerge for another three years. In the meantime the original movies were re-released to surprising success, forcing the new executives to give the go-ahead to Son of Frankenstein (1939) starring Basil
Rathbone.
The 1940s (The Monster Mash)
Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolf ManDuring the forties, the most successful of the new series of Universal Horror movies
was The Wolf Man (1941), which also established Lon Chaney, Jr., as the new leading horror actor for the studio,
following in his fathers foot steps.
In 1943, the "Phantom stage" was employed for a remake of Phantom of the Opera, this time starring Nelson Eddy and Susanna Foster in a film that was as much musical as horror. Claude Rains played the Phantom.
The Frankenstein and Wolfman series continued with The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942) and Frankenstein Meets the
Wolf Man (1943) while Son of Dracula (1943) featured Lon Chaney, Jr. as the Count. The Mummy too continued to rise from the grave in The Mummy's Hand (1940) and The Mummy's Tomb (1942). Eventually all of Universal's
monsters, except the Mummy and Invisible Man, would be brought together in House of Frankenstein (1944) and
House of Dracula (1945), where Dracula was played by John Carradine. As the decade drew to a close the comedy Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) proved an instant hit for the studio, with Bela Lugosi starring
alongside Lon Chaney, Jr. as Larry Talbot (the Wolf Man), and Glenn Strange as Frankenstein's monster.
The 1950s (A Monster Revival)
Creature from the Black Lagoon, 1954With the success of Creature from the Black Lagoon (directed by Jack Arnold in 1954) the revived "Universal Horror" franchise would gain a whole new generation of fans. The original movies
such as Dracula and Frankenstein were re-released as double features in many theatres, before eventually premiering
on syndicated American television in 1957 (as part of the famous "Shock" run of Universal Monster Movies). Soon dedicated magazines such as Famous Monsters of Filmland would help propel these movies into lasting infamy. By
the early 60s the monsters were merchandised in the form of toys and model kits, the most famous of which were
from the now-defunct Aurora Company.
The
Hunchback of
Notre Dame
(1923)
Dracula (1931)
In the days before Dracula was such a
well-worn story, it could be dealt with
with originality and panache, as Tod
Browning does here. The concept of
Dracula is taken from the stageplay as
opposed to the novel, and the results
are highly theatrical. Lugosi laughs
evilly throughout; no wonder, his
depiction of the Count-as-seducer is
aeons removed from the feral creature
represented in Nosferatu and is
definitive - not until Coppola's Bram
Stoker's Dracula in 1994 were there any
real variations on the theme. Although
Lugosi is never less than watchable, his
opera cloak billowing behind him as he
stalks the innocent, the rest of the
movie creaks to the modern viewer.
The supporting cast use their stage
training to ham it up (this was the very
first talking horror film and no one,
least of all the director, was sure how to
pitch it) and come across as grimacing
and grotesque. The mise-en-scene are
fine however - the movie practically
invented the concept of "Mittel-
Europe", land of swirling mists,
howling wolves, frightened peasants
and crumbling castles owned by
heavily accented individuals with
strange eyes and an interesting taste in
evening dress. It was very very
successful for Universal and paved the
way for a series of high profile horror
classics.
Frankenstein (1931)
After Lugosi turned the part down, screen legend has it that Boris Karloff was
plucked from obscurity in the studio canteen to play the Monster. Studio
execs thought his character was so peripheral to the movie that they did not
even invite him to the premiere, yet it is his lumbering, pathetic creation that
is now synonymous with Frankenstein. James Whale, still numbered amongst
the best horror directors of all time, directs with great attention to both
spectacle and detail
The Mummy (1932)
The Tutankhamen Exhibition toured the world in the 1920s and 1930s, and the concept of Egyptologists
suffering the effects of an ancient curse was part of contemporary urban legend. Audiences were fascinated
by the concept of 3000 year old remains, and the Ancient Egyptians' rituals that ensured immortality. The
film, which may seem overly slow-moving to modern viewers, introduced the concept of the desertscape and
terrible, ancient evil to movie audiences. The main action takes place in Cairo (or the Universal backlot's
version of that city) and revolves around a mummy who is brought to life by the accidental reading of a spell.
He then hunts down the reincarnation of his lost love, only to be thwarted, and reduced to the dust from
whence he came.
The Wolfman (1941)
It seemed a natural step for Universal to follow up their minor 1935 hit, The
Werewolf of London. Although there is a well established werewolf
mythology extending back to the ancient world, there was no single
established story (as with Dracula and the vampire myth) ripe for easy
adaptation. It fell to screenwriter Curt Siodmak (who had fled the Nazi
wolves himself in 1937) to pen a story to fit the title Universal had been
knocking around for a while. The Wolf Man (1941) is a mishmash of several
wolf legends, with added ingredients. Siodmak stirs pentagrams, gypsies,
silver bullets and the full moon together to create a robust myth. It owes little
to established European traditions, but established a new set of cinematic
rules which Hollywood lycanthropes would adhere to for decades. Set in a
contemporary Wales, the story follows Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney Jr) who
returns to his ancestral home from America, only to become infected by a
bite from a gypsy named Bela (Lugosi). With a starry cast including Claude
Raines, and spectacular makeup and special effects, the picture was a big hit.
.
Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
This classic monster horror film directed by Jack Arnold, and starring Richard
Carlson, Julia Adams, Richard Denning, Antonio Moreno, and Whit Bissell. The
eponymous creature was played by Ben Chapman on land and Ricou Browning in
underwater scenes. Creature from the Black Lagoon was filmed and originally
released in 3-D, requiring polarized 3-D glasses. It was one of the first Universal
Pictures films filmed in 3-D.

be a venue for you to hear and see where your giving dollars are being used. We will hear from Ambassadorial Scholars (Imagine being the recipient of a $25,000 scholarship!), hear fabulous results of what some grants have done
and more. We will also take time to honor the Rotarians who are actively supporting the Rotary Foundation as Major
Donors, Bequest Society Members, Benefactors and other levels of TRF support. Plan to be there as we say to you

53. ROTARY PEACE PROGRAMS
A special program of The Rotary Foundation was originally labeled the "Rotary Peace
Forum." The concept of a center or educational program to promote greater understanding and
peace in the world was originally discussed in
1982 by the New Horizons Committee and the
World Understanding and Peace Committee. In 1984 it was further explored by a New Programs
Committee of The Rotary Foundation.
The essence of the Rotary Peace Program is to utilize the non- governmental but worldwide
resources of Rotary to develop educational
programs around the issues that cause conflict among nations in the world as well as those
influences and activities which promote peace,
development and goodwill. The program
includes seminars, publications or conferences as a means to initiate a global dialogue to find new
approaches to peace and world understanding.
Specific Rotary Peace Programs are selected annually by the trustees of The Rotary
Foundation. Many peace programs are held in
conjunction with presidential conferences.
54. REGIONAL CONFERENCES
From time to time Rotarians may read the promotional literature announcing a regional conference to be held some place in the world. Such a conference is quite similar to the annual Rotary International convention, but generally smaller in
attendance and serving Rotarians and guests in a region which is at a considerable distance from the site of the international convention.
The purpose of a regional conference is to develop and promote acquaintance, friendship and understanding among the attendees, as well as to provide a forum to discuss and exchange ideas about Rotary and international affairs related to the geographic areas involved.
Regional conferences usually attract two or three thousand individuals and because they are considered special events in the Rotary calendar, are not held on any regular schedule. The conferences are arranged periodically, according to the interest of the Rotary leaders in specific regions. Many of the operational tasks of the conferences are handled by the RI
Secretariat.
Although there is no special effort to promote attendance by Rotarians outside of the region involved, members from all parts of the world are always welcome to attend. Attending a conference in another region is an enjoyable, rewarding and fascinating experience. They provide another facet to the international fellowship of Rotary.
I choose… CLARITY
Is your life hectic and so full of things that need to be taken care of that you
can’t find time to get any of it done? Mine certainly is! Lately I’ve come to
realize that I have been living my life in a state of overwhelm for a very long
time. My ―normal‖ state of being has become one of feeling overwhelmed by
all the many, many things I have to do, and anxiety about not having enough
time to get any of it done! This has really hit home in a big way for me this
weekend. I was looking forward to having four days off, and all the time that
was going to give me to get caught up on some things. Well, it is now the
morning of the third day of my four day weekend, and can you guess how
much of my stuff I’ve gotten caught up on? About a quarter of what I
thought I’d be able to do—maybe not even that much. I have watched myself
over the last couple of days consistently allow other things to get in the way,
and I haven’t accomplished much of anything. I realized this morning that
the state of overwhelm has become so much my habitual way of living that I
have trained myself out of my ability to consistently focus on whatever I’m
attempting to get done. Overwhelm has become so much my habit that I
don’t know how to NOT be in that state. In fact, I’ve been watching myself
this weekend actually create things that contribute to my feelings of anxiety
and overwhelm. Ick!
I think I need some clarity. I need to teach myself how to be clear about what I want to get done, and then focus
on actually doing it. So that’s my ―I Choose…‖ for this week. I know that clarity is there for me whenever I
choose to find it for myself—now it’s just a matter of practice. It’s a matter of catching myself in the middle of
creating situations that make me feel that overwhelm and anxiety, and deliberately stopping, taking a breath (or
two, or seven), and then CHOOSING the clarity that I have decided I want to experience. Join me if you’d like,
and let’s see how it goes!
I Choose CLARITY
As I remember to CHOOSE to be very clear about what I want, what I want comes easily into my
experience of my day. As I consistently choose clarity, I learn that it becomes easier and easier to
stay focused on the task at hand, and I get more and more things accomplished easily and
effortlessly. Things fall gently into place and I experience feelings of peaceful satisfaction in a
job well done.

HISTORY
• The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was born in the 1564, supposedly on his birthday.
He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couple.
• Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John
Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained.
• Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a virgin, and Benjamin
Franklin were to 2 singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin discovered electricity by rubbing two cats
backward and declared, "a horse divided against itself can not stand." Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead.
• Abraham Lincoln was America's greatest precedent. Lincoln's mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation . On the
night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in the moving picture
show. They believe the assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a suposingly insane actor. This ruined Booth's career.
• Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a large number of children. In between he practiced on
an old spinster which he kept up in his attic. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Bach was the most famous composer in
the world and so was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian, and half English. He was very large.
• Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest
even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died from this.

PNA serves impoverished and homeless children from PK-3
rd grade through their Christmas Tree Project.
They also serve the children of our deployed troops

Chris LaBarge provides an excellent presentation on the
Interact program and other Rotary youth initiatives. Interact is
Rotary International’s service club for young people ages 12 to
18. Interact clubs are sponsored by individual Rotary clubs,
which provide support and guidance, but they are self-
governing and self-supporting. Chris is very knowledgable and
totally commited to working with children. Excellent!

District 5510
Youth Harassment and Abuse Chair
Since their founding over 10 years ago, The Harp Foundation
has been able to provide more than 60,000 hours of therapeutic
harp music to hundreds of thousands of critically ill and
medically fragile patients and their families at hospices,
hospitals, schools, churches and homes around the Valley. This
is a wonderful presentation complete with soothing harp music.
Susan has just returned to the states from a one year teaching
assignment at Hubei University of Technology in Wuhan, China. While there, she created a magic club to help build student
confidence and self-esteem. Her work was so extraordinary that
the Chinese produced a movie about her. If you can catch Susan
when she is in Arizona, you will be captivated by her amazing
story. She has also traveled extensively in India.
