The Rotary Club of Park Cities Please remember ...
President Tracy Gomes called the meeting to order. Orville Salmon gave the invo-cation, noting we had no mem-bers in need of our prayers this week. Nolan Duck led the Pledge of Allegiance and The
Star Spangled Banner. Richard Stanford introduced our visitors and guests. Bob Dill introduced our Back the Blue honoree, Sgt. Travis Vavra. He has been with the University Park Police Department for fifteen years, but has been in law enforcement for twenty-five. He has been a CID supervisor and currently oversees personnel and training.
Kathleen Klaviter reported on the RC PC Foundation. She reminded everyone that they could contribute on their birthdays - or any time. Currently there is $1.3 Million in the Fund; the proceeds from the Foundation fund local projects. The latest grants are $6,000 to the Salvation Army for laptops for their Men's Rehabilitation Program, $1,000 to Cafe Mo-mentum, and $3,000 to Hillcrest H. S. Interact for $1,000 scholarships to each of three seni-

ors. She then recog-nized Susan Harris
PP Karen Farris was presented her President's Book for her presidential year. Betty Dawson was also presented a book of Hubs from her years as Editor. The District Chair for Youth Exchange thanked RCPC for their sponsorship of outgoing students, and asked for assistance in placing a 16-year old boy from Germany.
VP John Gilchrist introduced our speaker today, County Judge Clay Jenkins. He began by saying he wanted to focus on three big issues. The first was taxes and home
values. He explained there are two ways to raise taxes: by raising the valuation of the property and by raising the tax rate. Dallas has a very good rate of employment, much better than Houston. Dallas has been rated the number one city to move to. There have been 114,000 jobs created in Dallas in the last year. There has also been an increase in home ownership. All of the new commercial build-ings going up around Dallas also add to the taxes coming in to the county. The current economic climate in Dallas allows the county to reduce taxes to bring in more money. The second major issue is that of sanctuary cities. He is concerned about the provision in the new law that allows the police to ask anyone to show their papers. The police can do their jobs only if people call and report crimes. There are a large number of people whose papers are not in order, and they can be preyed on if they are afraid to call the police. The third issue is health care and insurance. In Dallas County 132,637 people were insured (cont. on pg 3)

THOUGHTS ON . . .
Think of life as a terminal illness, because, if you do, you will live it with joy and passion, as it ought to be lived. ~ Anna QuindlenRefuse to be ill. Never tell people you are ill; never own it to yourself. Illness is one of those things which a man should resist on principle.
~ Edward Bulwer-LyttonThe more severe the pain or ill-ness, the more severe will be the necessary changes. These may involve breaking bad habits, or ac-quiring some new and better ones.
~ Peter McWilliamsA wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings, and learn how by his own thought to derive benefit from his illnesses. ~ HippocratesLove is the kind of illness that does not spare the intelligent or the dull.
~ Albert Camus

*You are our RCPC Funders for this week.
We gratefully acknowledgeASTRO-GRAPHICS
for the partial funding of The Hub
To say I was shocked, amazed, surprised, speechless - and very appreciative when I re-ceived my bound copy of The Hubs last Friday would be an understatement!
However, I view the Hub Committee as a Committee of the Whole, so I want to thank all of you who contribute in ways, large and small, to make The Hub more interesting and relevant:• to the President and Board who set the tone of the Best Rotary Club in the Universe,• to the Program Chair and Chairs of the Day who wrangle the information on the speakers,• to the meeting photographers who enliven the Meeting Notes (a picture IS worth a 1000 words)
MEETING NOTES (cont.)
• to the Chairs and Members of the Commit-tees who send stories and pictures so that we all may know the good you are doing and the fun you are having,• to those who travel and send photos of the interesting clubs they visit,• to those who send interesting information that we might have missed otherwise,• to those who fill in for me and take the Notes when I am gone,• to the advertisers who help fund it, and• to you who read it, and find something worth reading – THANK YOU!
Reminder: A new year is about to start with new opportunities to Contribute!
through the Affordable Care Act. He is concern-ed the Health Care Act that was recently passed in the House cuts $880 Million over ten years. Cuts in Medicaid disproportionately hurt chil-dren. Texas has the largest population growth, so should be reimbursed appropriately by the federal government. He remarked on how hel-ping insurance encourages people to get care.
