Thanks to all who worked on the Crawfish Boil. A good time was had by all who
attended.
DID YOU KNOW –
The world’s best-selling book, The
Bible, is also the world’s most shoplifted book.
Did you know – the lawyer that was shot
by the vice-president appears on the ten-
dollar bill? No, not Cheney – it was
Alexander Hamilton fatally wounded by
Aaron Burr in a duel in 1804.
Hamilton’s picture, of course appears on
the ten-spot.
Did You Know? From the

Last Week’s Meeting
Huntsville Rotary Club meeting August 27 for Club Corner
Huntsville Rotary Club met in the Community Room of the West Hill Mall at noon, August 27,
2008. African Violets graced the tables, courtesy of Travel Executive and active Rotarian,
Gloria Wright.
Club President Rhonda Ellisor opened the meeting by calling on Rotarian and Methodist
Pastor Scott Dornbush to lead the prayer. Rotarian Buddy Aber lead Rotarians in the
pledge of allegiance to the National and Texas Flags.
Past District Governor Dan Davis, accompanied by his lovely wife, Elsie, introduced our
newest member, Marjolein Lemmon, executive director of Rita B. Huff Animal Shelter.
New Rotarian Marjolein comes courtesy of the Travel Executive, Laura Floyd. She is a
native of The Netherlands, which is somewhere offshore of Galveston, at least.
President Rhonda Ellisor introduced our speaker, District Governor Roger S. McCabe and his
wife Sharon, from Beaumont, Texas. At the same time President Ellisor recognized all
past district governors in the Huntsville club. In addition to Past District Governor Davis,
they include Jack Staggs, accompanied by Kathleen Staggs, Bill Nash with his wife Una
Grace Nash, and Glen Mattingly with his wife, Carol.
Rotarian Jerry McGee introduced his guests, James McComb and Tim Wilson. Huntsville Item
Publisher Dennis Garrison introduced his guest, Managing Editor Jay Ermis.
District Governor and Rotarian Roger McCabe, a trial lawyer, spoke on the Making Dreams
Real and the many facets of service provided by Rotarians around the world, such as
virtually eliminating polio. However, there is more work to do. He reported that 26,000
children under the age of five die every year from diseases borne by filthy water. He cited
the Huntsville Club!s work in Nicaragua, under the work of Rotarian David Standlee, as an
outstanding example of drilling wells to provide clean water.
It may have been a winning day for lawyers, but Rotarian and lawyer David Moorman failed to
draw the lucky ticket in the weekly drawing. However, needy kids were certainly winners.
More money for kids went into the "Brag Bag," from Rotarian Paul Loeffler, (excited?) that
classes resume at SHSU next week. (Chemistry prof Loeffler has given up on alchemy for
gold and will work on converting wine to oil.) Rotarian Dale Wright bragged about the
promising future for Sam!s Orange warriors. Rotarian Jon Volkmer boasted of his son!s
good grade in his first exam. (The lucky boy probably takes after his mother.) Again
Rotarian Poncho Roberts bragged that he had only two semester hours to go for
graduation at SHSU. (Did he hold up three fingers?)
President Rhonda Ellisor dismissed Rotarians by leading them in recitation of the Four-Way
Test, wherein Rotarians are reminded of service above self and the ethical behavior
toward all whom Rotarians make contact.
