of Biblical Arts. The Museum was founded in 1966 by Mattie Caruth Byrd. The fire nine years ago damaged 2,500 paintings and ar-tifacts, but the museum has now recovered and is adding to its col-lections. It is nondenominational, but the building reflects the Bible. He remarked that the history of architecture reflects the his-tory of biblical architecture. The last phase of the rebuilding opened last year.

There are eleven galleries: American art, European art, the Sculpture atrium, Biblical archeology, Judaica Galleries which features Jewish ceremonial art and the works of Israe-li and Jewish artists, Modern and Contempo-rary which highlights African American, His-panic and women artists, Restoration and Conservation, a religious and research library, the Resurrection mural, a rare Bible exhibit, the Damascus Gate educational area and a store. They own fifteen molds of sculptures by Michelangelo, which were made during World War II because they were afraid the originals might be destroyed. The museum owns the most of these molds and they are on display.

They will soon be opening their next pro-ject, the Via Dolorosa, a series of fourteen bronze sculptures in the Mediterranean-style garden on the north side of the building. The sculptures depict the Stations of the Cross, and the last piece depicts The Resurrection. A Jewish Heritage Garden is planned for the east side of the building. The Museum is a very popular destination, and they have had more visitors every year than the Alamo or Six Flags. The Museum is easy to find near NorthPark. He invited everyone to visit the Museum after our meetings!

THOUGHTS ON . . .

Noble life demands a noble archi-tecture for noble uses of noble men. Lack of culture means what it has always meant: ignoble civilization and therefore imminent downfall.

~ Frank Lloyd Wright The physician can bury his mis-takes, but the architect can only advise his client to plant vines - so they should go as far as possible from home to build their first buil-dings. ~ Frank Lloyd WrightHe who has not first laid his founda-tions may be able with great ability to lay them afterwards, but they will be laid with trouble to the architect and danger to the building.

~ Niccolo Machiavelli Architecture is one part science, one part craft and two parts art.

NEW MEMBER TRIVIA

THEY PROFIT MOST WHO LAUGH BEST A lady was picking thru the frozen turkeys at the grocery store but she couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?" The stock boy replied, "No ma'am, they're dead."

Then there is this quote by Abraham Lin-

coln: "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that it's difficult to determine whether or not they are genuine."

Hospitality is making your guests feel at home even when you wish they were.

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Happy Birthday

The July 1932 issue of The Rotarian magazine featured the Olympic Stadium in Los Angeles on the cover and noted games are an oppor-tunity for international good will through sport. Rotarians have helped support ath-letes and the Olympic games for decades, from fundraising to inviting local Olympians to meetings to hosting Rooms of Friendship in cities where the games are held.

Rotary and the OlympicsIn 1958, Bob Izon ran the mile in

world-record time in the under-16 age category, becoming the English schools champion. But the most mean-ingful run of his life took place in May, 2012, when the founding member of the Rotary Club of Hereford Wye Valley, England, carried the Olympic torch through his hometown.

He is one of several Rotarians who have carried the torch on its way to the Stadium in London for the opening cer-emony of the 2012 Olympics.
