We’ll have our annual fun program on Tuesday as we learn about our very own Jun-
ior Livestock Auction and the State Fair of Louisiana coming October 25th.
Liz Swaine is serving on the Board of the State Fair. Liz
is the executive director of the Downtown Development
Authority. She is no stranger to our club as she has pre-
sented programs to us on several different topics.
David Ogletree is the chairman of the Ark-La-Tex Agri-
cultural Council having served as one of their volunteers
for over 20 years. He is senior vice president of lending
with Louisiana Land Bank where he has been employed
for 30+ years.
Our own Rotarian Jon Lowe will MC the program on
Tuesday. Jon is a retired 4-H agent and 4-H parish chair
who has served on the Ark-La-
Tex Ag Council, Caddo Parish
Farm Bureau and the State
Fair’s Board of directors.
Rotarian Andy Shehee is on
the Board of directors of the
Ark-La-Tex Ag Council and
the executive committee of the
State Fair. Andy is our area’s
ameraucana (not americana)
chicken expert.
Meeting is at Municipal Auditorium

The James Allen, Jr. Scholarship Award was cre-
ated in 2003 by our late club member Jimmie Allen
and his wife through a bequest to the Rotary Club
of Shreveport Foundation, honoring their deceased
son, James Allen, Jr a Centenary alumnus. The
stipulation of the bequest was that the income be
used to provide an annual scholarship to a deserv-
ing Centenary student.
Each year, we ask the Centenary financial aid di-
rector to assist us in identifying a Centenary student
who clearly exhibits the character traits of scholar-
ship, personal integrity, and a dedication to Service
Above Self, either through extracurricular activi-
ties, career plans, or both.
Rotarian Jimmie passed away on September 28,
2011 and we try to make the presentation each year
to coincide as closely as possible to that date.
Last Tuesday, our scholarship committee chair Alan Prater introduced this year’s recipient of the
$2,000 scholarship, Ms. Katelyn Beaird.
