Alisa and her husband have purchased and distributed these items. We have $1600 remaining to purchase additional coats and will be distributed this month. The Water Safety is headed by Kelly Lehman. She is working with the City, County, and the “Y.” Kelly mentioned the project was in need of community contacts to provide water safety education. Priority should be given to communities that lack educational opportunities. The last project discussed was the Great Miami Riverway Safety Signage. The project is led by Sarah Hippensteel-Hall. She worked with local law enforcement and 911 to develop signage and plan out the project. The last step is to in-stall all of the signs. 911 already has the infor-mation in their dispatch system. President Jean asked that Rotarians be ready to assist with pro-jects when assistance is requested. She then called on Frank Scott. Scott recognized Kelly Lehman for her 3rd Paul Harris, Carolyn Rice for her 6th Paul Harris, and Frank Gilland for his 3rd Paul Harris Fellowship. Diane Welborn, Chair of the Day, introduced the guest speaker, Larry Welborn. Welborn is a pro-fessor at Fordham University in New York and Macquarie University in Sydney Australia.

Rotary Book Club Our next book is by a fellow Rotarian, Carl Moyer’s work: On Freedom and Revolt: A Comparative In-vestigation between Nobel Prize Winners Albert Ca-mus and Martin Luther King.

The comparison addresses major con-cerns about tyranny, injustice,, racism, poverty, exploitation and war. Moyler uncovers and reveals in his book that neither man was willing to stand in the face of these devastating issues and do nothing. Moyler finds common ground for the two men In presenting these issues in spite of their differ-ences in terms of racial and cultural backgrounds – one a humane agnostic and the other a seminary trained, in God we trust, preacher.

Carl is selling his book at Rotary meetings for $10.00, or you can acquire one on Amazon and other on-line book stores. Our next meeting is Tuesday, March 10, 2020, at Fly-boys Deli, 2515 Far Hills Avenue, Oakwood, Ohio 45419, 937 723-6135, www.flyboysdeli.com, 6:00-8:00 PM.

This Happened Last Monday Continued Many conflicts around the world today are generational in char-acter. The Arab Spring began as an uprising among the youth in Tunisia; the protesters in Madrid’s Buen Retiro Park took the name “los indignados” to express outrage over youth unemploy-ment rate; Anti corruptions protests in Russian cities were led by young people; the “Umbrella Revolution” in Hong Kong is a pro-democracy demonstration by the young. Welborn asks the question of what causes, mechanisms, and circumstances lead to generational conflicts.

He then explored what lessons from the past can teach us on how to handle the current problems. He discussed episodes of generational conflict in democratic Athens and republican Rome that lead to two lessons. One lesson is to have the courage and intellect to deal with student debt crisis. The second lesson is to engage youth in democracy to provide representation among generations. Increasing lifespan has complicated gen-erational conflicts. Welborn discussed the thing to watch in the 2020 election will be if we see an increase in participation by young voters.
