]]> By Deb Treusdell 503-739-2030, Rotary Club of Seaside, Oregon

“Four Rotarians drove, from Seaside to Salem -
Denny, Stewart, Deb and Trina — how lucky for them!!

District Governor, Dennis Wickham, was closing his year -
And proclaimed that Kristi Halvorson’s governorship is near.

Speakers inspired and educated, Doctors Davis and Keith -
4-Way Test and Servant Leadership helped bolster our belief.

A serious ‘live web-cast’ brought New York’s United Nations -
The banquet brought a comedian, who added laughter to our libations.

We enjoyed meeting new friends and reminiscing with old chums –
When GSE teams presented — the Phillipino’s were the flamboyant ones!

One-hundred and seventy-one flags, adorned the halls -
Yakima Jim came through again, so we didn’t have empty walls.

A flag for each country, shows how ‘International’ Rotary is -
Clearly eradicating polio and promoting world peace is our biz.

Our bright Youth Exchange students, entertain and inspire -
Silly skits to classical music thrill us ‘til it’s time to retire.

Though we shared lots of joy, before we said goodbye -
Remembering Ashley and Tika made us frequently cry.

‘Make Dreams Real’ has been our motto, for nearly a year –
‘The Future of Rotary’s in Your Hands’- our new theme is near.

Fond memories abound – my excitement is clear –
All I can say is “I can’t wait for next year!”

Save the 2010 dates – May 21, 22, 23
Ascend to ‘Mountain Welches’ with my friends and me!!!

]]> “The present days will be recorded in history as days of great depression. All men are yearning for the return of prosperity. Adversity is ever an unwelcome guest. Yet it is neither more food, nor more clothing which is needed. The granaries are full to bursting; the problem of manufacturers is to slow production down from a breathless run to an enjoyable walk. It is in rational work, whether mental or physical, that health and happiness is to be found. The Creator has never revealed a more wholesome outlet than this for pent up energies; work is nature’s own specific and yet, as with every other good thing, it can be sadly misused, grievously abused.

The world is not so much in need of great production as it is in need of a right about faith in its view of life. The glorification of the material has been tried and found wanting. If it may become the purpose of men, each in his own way, to achieve spiritual instead of material results, the storms of adversity need never be feared and prosperity will have a new and abiding meaning.

Rotary is one of the means to that end.”

]]> Rotary has enhanced our family’s life.  One of my daughters was a summer exchange student in Germany.  A young lady student from Germany first came to our home and my daughter returned to Germany with her.  We stay in contact with the family.  We also hosted a young Rotary exchange lady from Belgium in our home and have stayed in contact with her.  One of our daughters visited her in her home in Brussels.  I am a Past President of my club and Chairman of Rotarians for Hearing Regeneration.  Most of my family members are Paul Harris Fellows and hopefully all will be one day.

The friends made and kept, the opportunity of service and personal fulfillment being a Rotarian are reasons to stay and continue as a member of this great organization.
