Each week I will highlight something about Rotary that all Rotarians should know or be aware of. THE ROTARY WHEEL – A wheel has been the symbol of Rotary since our earliest days. The first design was made by Chicago Rotarian Montague Bear, an engraver who drew a simple wagon wheel, with a few lines to show dust and motion. The wheel was said to illustrate “Civilization and Movement.”
|
Most of the early clubs had some form of wagon wheel on their publications and letterheads. Finally, in 1922, it was decided that all Rotary clubs should adopt a single design as the exclusive emblem of Rotarians. Thus, in 1923, the present gear wheel, with 24 cogs and six spokes was adopted by the “Rotary International Association.” A group of engineers advised that the geared wheel was mechanically unsound and would not work without a “keyway” in the center of the gear to attach it to a power shaft. So, in 1923 the keyway was added and the design which we now know was formally adopted as the official Rotary International emblem.

“We must be ready to listen and adapt, always drawing upon our core values of service, fellowship, and leadership. If we live these values and adapt The Four Way Test to all aspects of our lives, we will be prepared to lead at all times.”

The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do

2. Is it fair to all concerned?

4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

Golf Alleygations July 15, 2020
|
|
|
The golf gods and the rain gods had quite a battle on July 15th at St. Albans! The result was mixed as 18 Rotary golfers were able to play only 10 holes before the lightning and rain hit. Despite the interruption we were able to establish our Long Drive winners - Harold Kalde and Jim Bernardini. Our closest to the pin marksmen were Jim Gidcumb, Kent Steinbrueck and Matt Weiss. As usual we had a wonderful dinner with a plentiful supply of drinks and stories.
|
Our next outing is scheduled for July 29th at the Norwood Hills Country Club. All are welcome so let me or David Wicks know if you want to play.

Women's Voices for Social Justice ~ Lise Bernstein July 30 @ the MAC & Zoom
|
|
|
Lise Bernstein has been a community volunteer in St. Louis for 30 years. She has been a board member of Women’s Voices Raised for Social Justice for 10 years, including four years as president. Women’s Voices is a volunteer-led organization that addresses a range of social justice issues. A primary focus for Women’s Voices is gun violence, especially its disproportionate impact on children of color. Lise and her colleagues at Women’s Voices recognized the need to educate the community about gun violence as a public health issue affecting children. Every day in America, 7 children are killed by gun violence and the rate of youth gunshot deaths in St. Louis is more than three times the rate for other major US cities. Lise was a primary organizer of a 2014 forum “Safe & Sound: Smart Strategies to Protect Children from Gun Violence,” attended by 300 health care, law enforcement, education and social service professionals. In March 2015, Women’s Voices implemented “Lock it for Love,” a community education and outreach program to provide free gun locks and information to parents about gun safety.
