Kingman Little LeagueRuss Skubal from the Kingman Little League recently approached the Kingman Rotary Club hoping to raise funds for new upgrades to the South fields including new bullpens and backstops. The Kingman Rotary Club has an ongoing commitment to serve both the global and local communities and was happy to join other local organizations in sponsorship of the Little League. Russ told the club that the Route 66 Rotary Club had agreed to a $2,000 sponsorship of the Little League, so with some friendly jeering, the Kingman Rotary Club agreed to match the $2,000 from the 66 club - but that wasn't quite enough. Long time Kingman Rotary Club member and past District Governor William Porter decided to kick in an extra $1,000 personally on behalf of the club to bring the grand total to $3,000. The new upgrades to the South fields look great thanks to Russ' fundraising efforts and the generosity of organizations such as the Kingman Rotary Club. |

Their main fund-raiser, the proceeds from which comprised a significant portion of their annual budget, came up very short this year. Noreen is seeking donated funds to help the club get through the end of its fiscal year. |

Meeting of the Kingman Rotary Club: May 21, 2008Student Rotarian
Tegan Gibelyou attended her third Rotary meeting and gave a short talk
on the importance of the Arts in her life and her future ambitions. The Arts
have played a considerable role in Tegan's life with her involvement in
marching band and drama. She described how her experiences in marching band
and drama helped tune her discipline, social abilities and mental abilities.
Tegan hopes to open her own studio some day where she will be able to
expose future generations to the Arts.
Tegan is another shining example of promise for a brighter future for our children. Thank you Tegan! |

Meeting of the Kingman Rotary Club: May 07, 2008Student Rotarian
Alec Duranceau, our outgoing Student Rotarian, gave a short talk on his
post-high school goals and aspirations. As with many of our Student Rotarians,
Alec is an intelligent, motivated, and socially aware individual. He plans
on applying his ethics and convictions to serve his fellow man through medecine.
Alec will be attending the University of Arizona (go WildCats!) where he will study medicine and embark on the long journey to become a doctor. He had an opportunity recently to visit a hospital in the Philippines and noted the clear need for additional physicians there as well as everywhere else such as the Arizona metro areas. And after all, he said, Dr. Duranceau has kind of a nice ring to it. Thank you for telling us a little bit about your goals Alec. We look forward to a bright future for you and hope to see you again! Program
Joseph provided our program, "Cinco de Mayo" in which he discussed a little
bit about race, discrimination and fellowship. He commented on the discrimination
that he has seen in his time in Kingman and in the West
at large. On considering fellowship in Rotary, Joseph noted that in Rotary, no
one hesitates to grab and shake someone's hand.
Thank you Joseph! As William noted, your words really embodied the essence of Rotarian fellowship. |

Meeting of the Kingman Rotary Club: Apr 30, 2008"Welcome Back" by Eric
Eric provided our program "Welcome Back!" for which he invited John Salem (Route 66 Rotarian and
Kingman Mayor-Elect) to tell us a little bit about himself. John began with a disclaimer that
these stories were for us Rotarians only, so I will forgo the details of several very humorous
stories that he regaled us with. If you didn't make it, you'll have to meet him down at City Hall
and find out what you missed.
Thanks for the entertainment Eric and John! |

Easter Elementary Surprise ProjectBefore the children took off for Spring break, the Kingman Rotary club wanted to send a group of children home with an extra Easter surprise - Easter baskets filled with goodies, coloring books, crayons, and early readers. Check out the Photo Journal of the event. Billy put this idea on the table at the last minute and the club joined right in and donated over $600 to make this project possible. Additionally WalMart kicked in another $100 plus discounts. Thanks to everyone who made this possible this year - it went great and we hope to make it an annually recurring project! |

A Note On Honorary MembershipHonorary Membership has been a topic of much attention lately in our club both in the governing board and in the general membership. Over the last couple of months there has been an increased interest in applications for honorary membership and the governing board has had to make some tough decisions with no established definition of "Honorary" or guidelines. In an attempt to remove the arbitrary nature of our past approval process we are in the process of developing a definition of what Honorary means to this club and a set a guidelines to help establish fair and consistent measures in granting honorary status.

FREE Money for Vocational StudiesEveryone knows that Rotary is constantly fostering efforts to improve our global and local communities. Many Rotarian activities involve making hands-on changes such as in the case of the Wheel Chair Project or the India Water Well projects and of course the Polio Eradication projects. Did you know, though, that Rotary also offers financial assistance to certain individuals pursuing vocational studies?

Rod on RYLARod recently attended the RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) gathering as a volunteer and had a short and refreshing report on his experience. act. The aims of RYLA are to demonstrate Rotary's respect and concern for youth, provide an effective training experience for selected youth and potential leaders, encourage leadership of youth by youth, and recognize publicly young people who are rendering service to their communities. RYLA, hosted in Prescott, Arizona this year, was attended by over 200 exemplary young men and women. We have had many reports over the years of the experiences of student attendees and Rod was happy to report that all of the reports were true and accurate. He said that the quality of the programs was exceptional and that the visible growth in the youth participants was awesome. He was amazed to see how the activities helped the participants learn, take on challenges, and build team dynamics. Rod also pointed out that the experience as a volunteer was extremely rewarding and challenged more Kingman Rotarians to participate in a volunteer capacity next year. Thank you so much for lending a hand to the RYLA event this year and thank you for your report back. Next year we will send along more accompaniment!

Four Way Test Open to Interpretation?I read an interesting article today on the Rotary International website concerning the Four Way Test ("A new look at global ethics and The Four-Way Test"). The Four Way Test should be a key component to every Rotarian's public and private life, but like some of the commentators on the article I believe that how it is applied is open for interpretation.
