Last Thursday, July 28, 2011 Pete Burgess

Irony and national theater played out after President Marc Horner called the

meeting to order. Mark thanked the Meeting and Greeting Arrangements Committee for greeting us. Past President Carl Bolte accompanied Bob Lager

who led America the Beautiful. Jan Armstrong gave our invocation and David King welcomed our special guests.

Recovery Bay featured improving news. Executive Director Janet Ellis is getting

ready to move from Shawnee Mission Medical Center over to the North Kansas City Rehabilitation Center. Past President Ford Nelson continues therapy from home

on an outpatient basis. Lindsay Ripley is in LA after her throat operation and is now able to eat. Ray Van Eman is back at work after his recuperation from a heart

attack. We send our best wishes to Janet, Lindsay, and Ford during their convalescence, and cheers to Ray for completing his recovery.

Dick Retrum took the podium to enhance last week's announcement by Chuck Eddy that the Family

Picnic is August 14th. (And NO meeting on the 11th). David Schmidt and John Jesperson are sponsoring a HOT TIME block party with Live Music on August 18th from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Wall Street

Tower, 1101 Main. ―It’s going to dwarf the Drunken Fish bash,‖ he said. So hit Suite 102 and see what you can do for membership development.

President Marc announced a New Generations Update with information provided in ―The Buzzsaw‖. The

first imperative of which is to reinvent Rotary Club 13 so that its membership more closely matches the demographics of the Kansas City metro, and to develop a club whose younger members will serve as

president.

John Platt came forward to introduce career federal employee, Ms. Pat Brown-Dixon, who spoke on dispensing money ―cradle to cradle‖ as the regional administrator of The Government Services

Administration. Her talk came as political drama consumed the national media over funding the government’s 14 trillion dollar debt, and as the debt ceiling crisis debate played large in Washington

politics. Our speaker managed to sing about her success. She spoke about partnering with investors to

loan more money, of waived fees in the Recovery Act, and how 1,000 banks came back to use SBA loans, of 300 new categories for women, and of social networking with SBA on line. She ended by finishing the

song God Bless America that began her presentation. President Mark suggested her as a member.
