The Kidd's Comments
On Tuesday morning, I had the pleasure of appearing with the other Area 4 Presidents (Bob Breck, Charlie Litton, Rock Nolle, and John Paul) as well as DG Bob Dorr and DG Nominee Wyn Spiller in presenting $10,000 to public access station NCTV. The funds were achieved through a public relations grant from RI as well as donations from all five Rotary clubs. Some of the funds will be used to replace NCTV's 20-year old equipment by purchasing new cameras, booms and mounts.

The money from RI's public relations grant will be used to produce, air and webcast a documentary highlighting the many community and international projects sponsored by local Rotarians and RI. As an Area, we are currently planning to create three 10-minute segments, each focusing on a topic. If you would like to help with the production of this documentary, please let me know. No technical knowledge required!

For those of you that did not attend last week's meeting (shame, shame), you definitely missed one of the most innovative programs I've seen. Thanks to the hard work of Eleanor Kenitzer and Cathy Wilcox-Barnes, attendees competed in a Valentine's Day trivia quiz (for prizes!), were forced to read famous (and infamous) quotes, etc. But the low-light of the afternoon certainly had to be the appearance of pP Terry "Pebbles" Boyer. I was left speechless. And if you see the picture in the Club News section, I think you will be as well...

Only 30 Days Until The Radio Auction!

Radio Auction items are continuing to flow in. As of last night, we have already collected 131 items worth more than $27,646. That's about 55% of this year's $50,000 goal. Great job, folks! Let's keep 'em coming...

In Service Above Self,
President David "The Kidd" Kenitzer
