Wheels for March 15
by Julie Ontiveros


The Multiple Sclerosis Society gives a voice to people living with MS. The organization works to raise awareness for the challenges of MS and call for change. Together, MS activists take action and shape health policies to benefit people living with MS. The many MS activists are the voices of change for approximately 400,000 people living with MS nationwide. Last week was MS Awareness Week, according to guest speaker Gayle Lindsey.There is no cure for MS, which affects mainly people ages 20-50, but the Society is actively working to change that. Look for upcoming opportunities to support this worthwhile organization: a walk, cycling event and the ever-popular Beef-A-Thon. More info at http://www.nationalmssociety.org/chapters. Thank you to Rocky and Mark for an informative program.

Don't forget this year's district conference in Ruidoso, N.M. Here's a link to more info for the event to be held June 8-10, http://www.thelodgeatsierrablanca.com.

The Rotary Club of Amarillo is encouraging funds for the local Foundation , which has helped pay off the club's long-term commitment to the YMCA's development of Rotary Park. There were envelopes on tables at lunch to make it easier to help restore the Foundation fund. It's tax deductible. Just contribute what you can to help our Foundation benefiting the Rotary Club of Amarillo.

Please turn in your ticket stubs to Gina for the travel voucher raffle before April 1.

Interested in helping with Rotary Holdup this summer? Just let Gina know, as this great tradition will continue this year.

Literacy is an important goal of Rotary. Join your fellow members to present personalized books to kindergartners at San Jacinto Elementary this Thursday, 3/22 at 9:30am. It's a guaranteed heart warmer. Just meet in the school foyer at 3400 W. 4th.

Sincere appreciation this week to:
President John Early for presiding.
David O'Dell and his special guest for leading us in song.
Erv Bergen for providing the invocation.
Dale Bippus, Jeff Neely and Mike Abdoo for a warm greeting.
Rocky Gafford for serving as March Program Chair and providing pizza.
Rosemartha Cates for introducing guests and visiting Rotarians.
