Hello, Jerry!
Current Programs
Future Programs

Past club member Jerry Rose, with a shiny new dome, was on hand to receive an honorary Paul Harris Fellow for he and his wife's contribution to the Thai Kids project. Through his and our club's efforts in the past, we have contributed over 20K for these kid's education! Way to go!

Mar 13 : ROD Phyllis Johnson continued our series on Community Development with a presentation by Dr. Phil Stafford on the Arkansas Research and Technology Park. Dr. Stafford demonstrated how the park will look, and bring in both tax revenue and much needed high-tech jobs to Northwest Arkansas.

March 20: ROD Phyllis Johnson introduced David Montgomery, the Senior Director for Donor Recruitment and Collections, of the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks. He gave a presentation on the Blood Supply in Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas. His organization is the third lowest in the country for the cost of blood! You can congratulate club member Don Moore, the Director of the Blood Center, when he returns from vacation!

March 27: David Matthews - "The Future for Arkansas Public Schools."

Aprils program's topics will be on Arts & Entertainment, presented by Jannine Wagner.

Thank You, Butterfield Trail

We sure enjoyed the tunes the Recorder Group played at the March 13 meeting...thanks to a very talented group!

T-Shirt Sponsors Wanted

With the Girls Softball Tournement fast approaching, this is your organization's opportunity to show some community spirit. For your $100 contribution, your organization will have their name listed on the back of the T-shirts for the Tournament. We can only take 80 donors, so hurry up and get your sponsorship today! Hand your money over to Becca Garner.

Since We Pick on Him So Much...

...and he's such an easy target, it seems only fair to help out club member Fred Vorsanger in the American Heart Walk the weekend of March 28-29. As the Chariman of the Walk, Fred requests volunteers to meet in front of Bud Walton Arena on Friday, 3/28 at 3:00 to help set up, and Sat. 3/29 to help run the shindig. See you there!

Welcome New Members

Be sure to seek out new members Scott Berna and Bruce Peterson and welcome them to our club.
