Box 474 Bonita Springs, FL 34133 www.bonitaspringsrotary.org Rotary Club of Bonita Springs July 7, 2010 Last Meeting Last Week’s Program Juan Carlos Cheves Gundersen President Nancy presided. Bob Lorenz delivered the invocation. Sue Masters led the Pledge of Allegiance and our guest speaker Juan Carlos Cheves Gundersen led the 4 Way Test. Steve Krchniak directed a rousing rendition of our Guatemala Water Initiative National Anthem. We all witnessed and enjoyed a special and poignant moment as the Club rose in ovation to thank President Nancy for a job well done this past year. Thank you Nancy for your outstanding leadership. And as another sign that we were ending a Rotary year, President Nancy acknowledged and thanked Immediate Past President Ray Faubion for his service to the Club. A Star Spangled Bonita Spectacular A few raindrops did not deter a group of happy and determined group of Rotarians from serving beer to those attending Star Spangled Bonita Sunday evening. Thanks to all who participated. The entire evening was absolutely spectacular. Last week Sandy Scoggins introduced us to Juan Carlos Cheves Gundersen. Juan, President of the Rotary Club of Guatemala Sur, is also one of the driving architects of the Guatemala Water Initiative which Sandy and this Club have so passionately supported. Juan, during his presentation, created a comprehensive and compelling case for the water initiative. 6,000 children die every single day from waterborne illness. Water quality and sanitations are absolutely key and effective sources of intervention to mediate and combat this problem. Enter the Q Beta water filter. Field tested in rural households with positive results, The filters, equipped with BP ceramic candles, provide a highly effective barrier to particles and pathogens. The filters are practical and efficient, providing safe, clean water to a household for over two years. The results have been impactful. Since December, 2006 over 15,200 families in several regions of Guatemala have benefited from this Initiative. Juan stressed, however, that much work remains. The Water Initiative has proven to be a worthwhile Rotary project, providing practical solutions to a major problem. He suggested that Water is a priority for Rotary International and pointed to challenges at Santa Cruz La Laguna as one way in which the things learned in implementing the water initiative can be leveraged to further improve the quality of life. Our Rotary Float...A Historic Appearance This past Saturday our Rotary Float made a historic and inaugural appearance in the Bonita Springs Fourth of July Parade. The hard work of Ben and Lori Nelson, President Jim, Clara Anne Graham, Bob Pagel, Peter Zahner, Len Eckert, Scott Anderson, Bobbi Bird, Gary Price, Ray Faubion, and Steve Kaskie allowed parade observers to witness and enjoy the largest Rotary Wheel ever displayed in the City of Bonita Springs. The Rotary Float majestically traversed the parade route to the rousing cheers of delighted onlookers. It was, as the photos suggest, a morning to remember. We learned that our District will be organizing a mission trip to Guatemala—with more information forthcoming. Thank you Juan for your presentation and offering all of us greater insight into what it means to be Rotarian. We’ll Miss You Gui It was good seeing our RYE student Gui Souza before his return to Brazil. Pictured with Mark McCaw, McCaw Gui reflected on the past year and offered some insights into the World Cup. Best of luck Gui and thank you. We are all the richer for having met you and your family. Stay in touch. And finally...congratulations to Steve McIntosh, McIntosh Bobbi Bird, Bird Nancy Ross and Sue Masters for their extended perfect attendance achievements. $$$50/50$$ This Weeks Big Prize Let’s Sing, Rotarians!
