Teresa shared information about our meals at
Damon's. Each week we have an option of a house salad or the entre prepared
for us that day. At no time is anyone to request to have chicken or
steak added to the salad. All that we are contracted for is the garden
salad. Additionally when you request special salads; the orders for everyone
else get backlogged because the server is also the one that has to prepare
the salad. There is additional cost that is borne by the club when you
place requests for extras too.
Teresa shared news from the Penn State Rotaract club for the
new academic year. Over 50 persons showed up to an informational session.
These were students that had been involved with Rotary as Interacters
in high school.

| Previous
Week's Speaker: Jim Fong from Diagnostics Plus |
Tracy Sepich introduced Jim Fong, the new President of “Diagnostics Plus” in State College
Jim left his position at PSU and joined this company about two years ago. He was recently named president. The company has been primarily involved in Market Research with clients in the manufacturing and telecommunications sectors. Nationally and Internationally they provide services to companies such as Catapillar, a large printer manufacturer and various Food Industry Companies. Locally, they have worked with “New PIG”, Penn Dot and a number of Rural Telecom Companies. Most of their business is “business to business” oriented, although they do provide some “business to consumer” services. Most of their survey work is accomplished through phone banks and internet surveys. Only a very few selected direct mail surveys are conducted. Jim pointed out that all survey responses have declined over the past few years and that consumer satisfaction and acceptance of new products is increasingly important in today's global marketplace. He discussed his goal to further develop the company along “Information” lines and provided handouts about the company accompanied by a cookbook the company put together for their clients for the holidays.

“If
we only listen to those whom we already see eye to eye, we will
never create better understanding, a concept that is at the
core of Rotary.”
-Martin G Molony, District 1160 Governor, Dublin Central, Ireland
in The
Rotarian, January 2006

"Of
the things we think, say or do:
Is
it the TRUTH?
Is
it FAIR to all concerned?
Will
it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will
it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"

*****************************************************
The Lost Chapter of Genesis??
Adam was walking around the garden of Eden feeling very lonely, so God asked him, "What is wrong with you?" Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to. God said that he was going to make Adam a companion and that it would be a woman.
He said, "This person will gather food for you, cook for you, and when you discover clothing, she'll wash it for you. She will always agree with every decision you make. She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. She will not nag you, and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will never have a headache, and will freely give you love and passion whenever you want it."
Adam asked God, "What will a woman like this cost?"
God replied, "A woman that special will cost an arm and a leg."
Then Adam asked, "What can I get for a rib?"
The rest is history.
Do You have anything to share? Email
me and chances are it will find its way here, maybe.
