Happy  Bucks
from: • Carl HIll in honor of Paul Bell and his wife Janet for winning
an award related to vocational education suport.
Dick Jones put Foundation envelopes out.
Thanks to Todd Bacastow for alerting me to this WSJ
editorial on Rotary and Polio eradication. It is from April 14, 2005.
There is a good article by Harry Zimbler in this month's State College
Magazine. It is titled, "When the War Comes Home: A Personal View
of the War in Iraq."
Paul Rutter mentioned the Italian GSE
team will be in State College the nights of May 5-9, and 15th. Thanks
to those who have said they might be able to host visitors. There
is still an opportunity for more hosts. This is a great opportunity to
particiapte in a huge part of Rotary and get to share your State College
with your guest. Ask Paul Rutter for more information.
Rotary vanity license plates are available. There's a link on the District
Web site to get them.
 Jim
Eberly - brick sales rising slowly, but the sales pyramid could use some
work. He said wrap up by end of March. Jim said that buying a family tree
might be considered. The first brick is $100 but each brick thereafter
in the family is just $50. You can preserve your family legacy in a small
remembrance of everyone alive now for future generations at the beautiful
central Parklet!
Our Club is competing with the Evening Club to sell bricks. The winning
club will be served lunch by the losing club at a future date. That's
one more incentive to see bricks! We need to
sell bricks. Sign your Brick Pledge
today! We can meet our goal if everyone buys one
and sells one. The District Newsletter for Febuary is available
at the District
Web site by clicking on the link to the  current
newsletter. http://www.district7350.org
The District Conference will take place from May
13-15. Registration forms are available from Carol or on the District
website.
RYLA. The RYLA event will be held at Juniata
College this ummer. Nominations for attendees are being taken now. LeAnne
Martin is the contact person in our club. Students that are juniors
in highschool now are eligible.
Jim Eberly reported about Rotary's Central
Parklet Project sponsored by the two SC clubs. The new "Children's
Play Space" will be lot of fun for kids. The total costs of the project
are $50,000. 50% needs to be raised by the two SC clubs as part of Rotary's
100th anniversary in 2005. Bricks are on
sale ($100 for first kid name, $50 for each subsequent). The bricks
will be used for the walkway. A pamphlet
was distributed. Please be selling bricks!
 The
club has a list serv. All active members
are on it. The email address for it is SCDTROTARY-@LISTS.PSU.EDU. Email Paul Rutter to see about your admission.
It is a private listserv not open to the
public. If you are already on it and want help with it please call or
email me.
There are two new Web pages up. One is for Rotary
Foundation Program alumni.The hope or goal behind
this page is to keep members aware of persons in our community that might
benefit further from Rotary by membership or participation in other things
we are doing. The second page is on the District Web site. It honors the
Veterans in our Rotary community. Both pages are still in an initial
building stage so if you know of anyone that has been left out, please
let me know so I can include them.
mystery answer: none
this week.
| Previous
Week's Speaker: Classification Talks from B. Collins & B. Kashanna |
Barbara
(Barbie) Collins
Barbara Collins'
first experience with Rotary was at the 1985 RYLA conference at Westminster
University. She was nominated to attend by the Kane Rotary and spent
a wonderful week with other Western PA students learning more about
leadership and community service.
She has lived
in Centre County (Stormstown) for 9 years and currently works as a Development
Associate for Easter Seals Central Pennsylvania, State College Office
planning special events and cultivating donors. Barbie loves work in
the non-profit sector because of the many hats one wears.
She is the
current housing advisor to a sorority on campus and just helped with
a $50K renovation to their suite. For her volunteer service to Zeta
Tau Alpha, she was awarded a national honor ring for seven years of
signifant volunteer service.
She had Gypsy
the Wonder Dog for 9 years and recently lost her to bone cancer. Gypsy
went to work with her and the children loved the dog. For those who
were fearful, she calmed them and for those who were sad, she made them
happy. She didn't judge. Barbie didn't like her home without a dog,
so they added another Golden/Lab mix named Lucy. It is like adding chaos
to chaos when having a puppy and a 2 and a half year old daughter. Anna,
her Daughter, goes to preschool at Easter Seals and loves it. Prior
to having a 2-year old, she played league volleyball, enjoyed reading
and long weekend trips and well, time to herself.
Bernadette
Kashanna
Bernadette
was raised in a small town in Lebanon. She is French educated and received
a Bachelors degree in Business Administration from the University of
Balamand in 2001. Then, in 2003, she earned an M.B.A. from the Lebanese
American University.
Bernadette came to the U.S. two years ago and was married in 2003 to
her college sweetheart whom she hadn't seen in two years!!! Her husband
came here in 2001 to pursue his Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
Now he is doing his Ph.D.
Bernadette volunteers at the International Hospitality Council, a non-profit
organization supported by the United Way, Penn State's ISS, and members
of the community. She's helping coordinate two programs; the Conversation
Partners Program, and the Intercultural Women's Book Groups Program.
She's been volunteering for a year now. She was nominated to receive
the Rose Cologne "Volunteer of the Year" Award.
In her spare time, she loves biking, jogging, traveling, and listening
to her husband's playing guitar.
