May
20: ROD Bootsie
Ackerman presented Marcus Divine, Director Arkansas Department
of Environmental Quality: The Effect of Environmental Issues on Economic
Development. His more than 400 employees around our state include scientists,
engineers, lawyers, and inspectors, working to protect our environment,
through preservation efforts and sometimes enforcement actions. The department
would rather bring a company into compliance, but sometimes force through
litigation is necesary to protect our Natural State.
May 27:
ROD Bootsie Ackerman
introduced club member and Past President Barbara Prichard, who spoke
to us on Vocational Awareness of Club Members. We were
shown pictures of our club's Thai Kids Partner Project, including a plaque
in our honor at the dorms that our money built, as well as the supplies
that we furnished through our donations.
June 3:
At our annual Service Above Self Banquet, held at the Clarion, we presented
awards to Ellen Meenen and club member Chuck Culver.
June 10:
ROD John Threet
introduced Arkansas Atty. General Mike Bebee who followed up
with us on the subject of his last visit with our club, the Lakeview Case.
He informed us that Arkansas isn't alone in this type of dilemma; 25 other
states are currently facing litigation for school funds dis-tribution.
Mike feels that although the state is awaiting the Court's decision on
several matters, we essentially got the job done as per the Court's mandate.

Ask Uncle Ronnie
Q
Whom should I tell if my personal
information in the directory changes?
A
Your spouse and your
lawyer first. Presumable, your surgeon already knows. Next, please let
Grace Lapetina know.
Q
Is it okay to laugh and have fun during Rotary meetings?
A
It
depends on whether you are laughing at or with someone. Laughing at them
is a lot more fun as is sanctioned by our Club. If a Club meeting is getting
dull, it is per-missible to stand before the assemblage and say “Fred
Vorsanger.”
