With Market descending on High Point, Rotary was convened in a cozy ballroom three at HPCC. The pledge was on tap following Tim Mabe s welcome followed by Kem Ellis eloquent prayer on grace and mercy. Jeff Benfield introduced a trio of visitors to the club. New milestones were the call of the day for Dr. Joel Gentry s special recognitions. First it was Kobe Bryant s 60 points in his swan song and then the Warrior s 73 win NBA season to topple the Bulls record.

And I will leave you hanging as to the definition of completely finished. You ll have to ask Joel that one. Natalie Crdilebaugh came up to introduce three new Paul Harris Fellowships underwritten by Dave McCoy but first had to share her own Kobe story. Seems she went to the same church as the Laker star when she lived on the West Coast. She said kids would always try and sit near him so that when they would pass the peace they d get to shake his hand.

2 Last Week at Rotary... (Continued From Page One) $ 1,000 donation to the Foundation) Mark Pierce put on a late call for more volunteers to step up and show their Service Before Self side by participating in Saturday s Impact Club Food Packaging Event at H.P.U. With the Queen of Hearts taking the week off due to the Home Furnishings Market coming to town this week (she hates to be upstaged by anyone or anything), Tom Blount came to the podium to explain our program snafu for the day. It seems that Tom Conley thought the market program would be next week, so the bottom line was we had no program. The ever prepared Tom had a back up in his notebook in the car, but President Tim Mabe was already working on a program for June and agreed to move it up to Thursday to fill the void. So Tom introduced Tim who rode in on his white horse to save the day. Tim proceeded to give us a magnificent travelogue of Brazil. He took was to Sao Paulo where he and Debbie attended the Rotary International Convention. The architecture of the city was amazing, evidenced by the grand level shots and the rooftop skyline pictures. He educated us on Cuban cigars and the local s moonshine cocktails. We also had a glimpse of the parade of flags and introduction of the torch to the opening convention festivities. The stadium seating built to accommodate a half million people was obviously designed for the Carnivale parades. A condensed version was held for the benefit of Rotarians and Tim shared many pictures of those festivities through the streets. From there we toured many of the parks, statues, monuments, churches government buildings (not sure why he knew so much about the Secret Military Police), sidewalk pieces of art, restaurants, and a few bars too. After a short jaunt over to Rio, we got to see that great cuisine and beaches that city has to offer. Copa Cabana beach and Ipanema beach were close by and we caught glimpses of the sun bathers and the volleyball crazed beach goers. And the trip up Sugarloaf Mountain and the views of and around Christ the Redeemer were breathtaking. As Tim wrapped up his thirty minute glimpse of Brazil, Don Shaw could be heard asking.... are you going to present yourself with a book, obviously pertaining to our traditional speaker s gift. Dave put in a plug for next year s RI convention in Atlanta before we adjourned with the Four Way Test.
