ROTARY CLUB OF TWIN FALLS - STAY FIT OR "DEATH BY CHOCOLATE" ... OR BOTH

(From left to right front row: Leadership team of Michael Becerra, president, Wiley Dobbs, president-elect, Jody Tremblay. Second row: Will Duke, D5400 assistant governor, Jill Skeem and Kevin Bradshaw.)

Yes, the Rotary leaders in this picture look harmless enough. But, the club has been trying to kill people in “Death by Chocolate” for years, a major successful fundraiser.


STAY FIT ON THE ROTARY TRAIL!

The irony is that the RC of Twin Falls is justifiably proud of the “Twin Falls Fitness Trail” on the campus of College of Southern Idaho. The trail has enhanced the community of Twin Falls for years. In fact, when I lived in Twin Falls in the 80s, I used to run the trail and work out on the devices on it. Soon, the trail will expand to the canyon with the help of Rotary.  (In the picture above, Michael Becerra and I, pose by the marker proudly containing the Rotary Wheel.)

KMVT ATTENDED THE NOON MEETING

Thanks to the work of the District PR chair, Merilee Marsh, KMVT was alerted to my visit and attended my presentation where I challenged to the club to "Promote Ethics - Pursue Peace - Provide for Children."    One can view the TV coverage by searching on Google for "Twin Falls Rotary + KMVT."

THE CLUB'S VISION:  PRE-EMINENCE! 

The District 5400 Visioning team conducted a seminar for the club recently. Becerra, president, is concentrating on the desire of the leadership to make the club the pre-eminent club in the area, in part,  because of its humanitarian efforts.   The club is on its way.  It has always enjoyed good leadership with the Jim Ponzo, Nancy Koonce and many others. 

During my visit, Scott Record, a new member, gave up his red badge for a blue one and committed to serve on the District Visioning team whose members will be trained on July 17 (9-3) in Twin Falls.  Welcome Scott!
