<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Tuesday, May 19, 2015 Mike Williams was elected Jacksonville's fifth Sheriff since consolidation and took the oath of office on Wednesday, July 1, 2015 for a four year term.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Born and raised in Jacksonville, married, and raising a family of three sons here, Mike served in the Air National Guard, and began his successful career at the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office in 1991.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As a young patrol officer, he worked ”the beat” in downtown Jacksonville. Mike began early on to develop relationships with citizens and business leaders. He quickly earned a reputation as a police officer who cares about people and likes to help them solve problems.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mike earned his way to the appointed position of Director of Investigations and Homeland Security, where he led the effort to bring the Jacksonville community and North Florida Region as much Homeland Security funding as possible. With more than $10 million in grants awarded locally, JSO deploys some of the most advanced technology available today in its battle against domestic terrorism, the drug trade, and organized crime. As a result, JSO is saving taxpayers millions of dollars.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mike Williams retired from service in July 2014 as the appointed Director of Patrol and Enforcement, where his commitment to reducing and preventing crime involved managing a budget of more than $100 million and the 1000-plus sworn patrol officers who protect our great city.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mike has accomplished a lot during more than 23 years with the JSO. Throughout his ascent to the department’s top tier of executive management, Mike Williams has never forgotten that the agency’s success depends on all officers listening to the community they serve. He is constantly in search of how to best address criminal activity that threatens our quality of life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mike Williams demonstrated his readiness to lead the JSO when he: led a nationally recognized SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) Team identified and implemented programs to better fight sexual predators and offenders developed narcotics and gun crime fighting units considered by state and federal agencies to be among the best law enforcement “partners” on complicated cases worked closely with government agencies to secure our Seaports and their enterprises and advanced JSO’s commitment to training for the bomb squad and dive team, resulting in both specialties now nationally recognized for their training expertise.</span><span style="color: red;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: red;">Blithe Spirit </span>- This Broadway and West End favorite comedy follows the tale of socialite and novelist Charles Condomine, who invites an eccentric medium and clairvoyant, to his house to conduct a séance, hoping to gather material for his next book. The scheme backfires when he is haunted by the ghost of his annoying and temperamental first wife, Elvira after the séance. Elvira makes continual attempts to disrupt Charles’ marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost. Written by Noël Coward, this is a funny and endearing show. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Memorial
Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the
people who died while serving in the country's armed forces. The
holiday, which is observed every year on the last Monday of May, was
formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil
War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the
war. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all
Americans who died while in the military service. It typically marks
the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many
people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who
have died in military service. Many volunteers place an American flag on
each grave in national cemeteries.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Annual Decoration
Days for particular cemeteries are held on a Sunday in late spring or
early summer in some rural areas of the American South, notably in the
mountain areas. In cases involving a family graveyard where remote
ancestors as well as those who were deceased more recently are buried,
this may take on the character of an extended family reunion to which
some people travel hundreds of miles. People gather on the designated
day and put flowers on graves and renew contacts with relatives and
others. There often is a religious service and a picnic-like "dinner on
the ground," the traditional term for a potluck meal in which people
used to spread the dishes out on sheets or tablecloths on the grass. It
is believed that this practice began before the American Civil War and
thus may reflect the real origin of the "memorial day" idea.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Memorial
Day is not to be confused with Veterans Day; Memorial Day is a day of
remembering the men and women who died while serving, while Veterans Day
celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans.</span><br />

The scheme backfires when he is haunted by the ghost of his annoying and temperamental first wife, Elvira after the séance. Elvira makes continual attempts to disrupt Charles’ marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost.

- This Broadway and West End favorite comedy follows the tale of
socialite and novelist Charles Condomine, who invites an eccentric
medium and clairvoyant, to his house to conduct a séance, hoping to
gather material for his next book. The scheme backfires when he is
haunted by the ghost of his annoying and temperamental first wife,
Elvira after the séance. Elvira makes continual attempts to disrupt
Charles’ marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the
ghost. Written by Noël Coward, this is a funny and endearing show!</span></span><b><span style="color: blue;"> </span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lori was born in rural South Dakota, attended public schools, and worked at the local Dairy Queen throughout high school. She received her undergraduate degree from Georgetown University and law degree from the University of Florida Law School. She began her legal career practicing primarily in land use and environmental law. In the early '90s, she left private practice to work for several real estate investment and management companies. In 1993, Lori became President of those entities which at the time had holdings from Massachusetts to Florida. In that capacity she gained significant experience in finance and construction management as she continued to use her expertise in real estate, contracts and negotiation. <br /> <br /> In 2011, Lori was elected to Jacksonville City Council and was recently re-elected for her second term. She has served on every standing committee of the Council and two years as chair of the Land Use and Zoning Committee. In 2013, Lori received the Charles Webb Award for Outstanding Service to the Council, and in 2014 chaired the year-long review of Jacksonville’s Consolidated Government. Most recently she has chaired the Special Committee on the Capital Improvement Program which has conducted an in depth review of capital accounts and borrowing practices.<br /> <br /> Lori was chosen Elected Official of the Year by Northeast Florida Realtors Association in 2013, and the Florida Elected Official of the Year for 2014 by the American Planning Association. Most recently, she was named the Financial News and Daily Record 2015 Lawyer of the Year at the Jacksonville Bar Association’s annual Law Day Luncheon.<br /> <br /> A resident of San Marco since 1987, Lori became active in San Marco Preservation Society immediately upon moving to the neighborhood. Among her accomplishments are construction of the tennis complex at Southside Park, relocation of Preservation Hall to Fletcher Park, and construction of Balis Community Center. Lori was named an Eve Award finalist in 2004 for her work on the creation and adoption of the San Marco zoning overlay. Lori’s commitment to our City has reached well beyond her neighborhood. She has been active in Boy Scouts for over a decade, is a trained Red Cross shelter volunteer, and has served on the Board of the Jacksonville Historical Society and Women’s Board of Wolfson Children’s Hospital, among others. Professionally, she is a member of Southside Businessmen’ Club, the Chamber of Commerce and the Jacksonville Bar Association. A member of Church of the Redeemer, Lori also serves on the advisory board for the Institute of Worship Studies.<br /> <br /> She is married to Circuit Judge Tyrie W. Boyer and together they share a blended family of one son, (R. J. Nemeyer) three daughters, (Quinn Nemeyer Carlson, Kimberly Boyer Hellmuth, and Kelley Boyer Waldo) and four grandsons.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For more than 30 years, the Guardian ad Litem Program has served as the region’s exclusive advocate for children in the court system. Volunteer Guardians ad Litem are court-appointed special advocates whose sole job is to serve as the voice of the child — a voice that is separate from the child’s family members, foster care providers, attorneys or social workers.<br /><br />Guardians ad Litem make a profound impact on the children they serve and the communities those children call home. In addition to providing an estimated tax savings of $2 million on the First Coast alone, children with a Guardian ad Litem are:</span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">More likely to be adopted</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Half as likely to re-enter foster care</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Substantially less likely to spend time in long-term foster care</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">More likely to have a plan for permanency</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">More like to perform well in school</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Volunteer Guardians ad Litem undergo comprehensive training to learn how to observe children, parents and foster families. Their objective recommendations are critical to a judge’s analysis and final ruling on the fate of a child. In 4 out of 5 cases, all or almost all of the recommendations made by a Guardian ad Litem are accepted by the court.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Guardian ad Litem Program provides all of the necessary training and program coordination for its local volunteers. The Guardian ad Litem Program is supported by the Guardian ad Litem Foundation of Florida’s First Coast, Inc. in its efforts to recruit and train volunteers, and to provide simple necessities that other families might take for granted — such as new shoes, clothing, and school supplies.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Every day, 1,900 children become victims of abuse or neglect in the United States. Guardian ad Litem Program of Florida’s First Coast is always in need of committed volunteers who are willing to be a voice of compassion and care on a child’s behalf.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Our Rotary District 6970 is honored to have been selected to be the Players Championship Charity of the Day on Friday, May 13th. This means, among other things, that we Rotarians have the opportunity to promote Rotary by distributing Rotary information and an End Polio Now lapel pin at the entrances to the Stadium Course. DG Fel Lee has chosen our Satellite member Meghan Hotchkiss to coordinate volunteers.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Volunteers willing to commit to 3 1/2 to 4 hours for a morning or afternoon shift will be admitted free to the Players that day. So, work part of the day and enjoy the tournament the rest of the day. This opportunity is limited to a total of 30 volunteers; so, if you are interested, don't delay committing. We must have firm commitments. Feel free to contact Satelliter Meghan Hotchkiss at <a href="mailto:meghan.hotchkiss@gmail.com">meghan.hotchkiss@gmail.com</a> or Bob Massey at <a href="mailto:RMasseyJr@comcast.net">RMasseyJr@comcast.net</a>.</span></span><br />

Haile has graciously agreed to host our next Craft Social on the

Cathedral Arts Project at 207 North Laura Street, Suite 300 (corner of
North Laura and West Adams) to enjoy an exhibit of work from
Jacksonville University faculty. This promises to be an exciting
evening as our Craft Social will be concurrent with First Wednesday Art

Stadium Passes to Benefit Rotary Charity. We now have TPC Stadium
passes (daily) available to everyone. The cost is $45 per ticket and
there is no limit on how many you can purchase. $25 of every ticket
comes back to the Club for OUR Charity fund. This is an excellent deal
and a good way to enhance the Club's charity contributions. See Patti to
have the tickets added to your Rotary invoice.<br /> </span><br />

- This Broadway and West End favorite comedy follows the tale of
socialite and novelist Charles Condomine, who invites an eccentric
medium and clairvoyant, to his house to conduct a séance, hoping to
gather material for his next book. The scheme backfires when he is
haunted by the ghost of his annoying and temperamental first wife,
Elvira after the séance. Elvira makes continual attempts to disrupt
Charles’ marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the
ghost. Written by Noël Coward, this is a funny and endearing show!</span></span><b><span style="color: blue;"> </span></b></span><br />

District Membership Co-Chairman Mike Darragh will spearhead the effort. All District Rotarians will receive an email containing a link to the survey. <br /><br />The goal of the survey is twofold. First, determine what club characteristics our Rotarians most value and second, give clubs direct feedback from their members so they can better create value for their members.<br /><br />Two years ago, we conducted a similar survey and were able to give valuable feedback to 30 of our clubs. The feedback is confidential, and goes ONLY to the club leaders for their planning purposes.<br /><br />My hope is you will see the value of taking a few minutes out of your schedule to provide honest feedback on your current Rotary experience. Your valuable feedback will ensure we continue to be one of the best districts in the Rotary world!</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Players Championship offers the highest prize fund of any tournament in golf ($10 million in 2015). The field consists of 144 players including the top 50 players in the world rankings, but unlike the three major championships staged in the United States, it is not an official event on the European Tour.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Players has often been considered the unofficial "fifth major" due to its prestige, its host course (the TPC at Sawgrass Stadium Course at which the tournament has been played since 1982, home of the iconic par-3 No. 17 "Island Green") and its considerably larger purse.<br />The victor receives $1.80 million, the winner's share (18%) of the largest purse of any tournament in golf ($10 million), and receives 80 points towards his world ranking, the largest share aside from the majors, for which winners earn 100 points. For comparison, the winners of the four individual World Golf Championships generally receive between 70 and 78 points. The winner also receives a five-year exemption on the PGA Tour, a three-year invitation to the Masters Tournament, three-year exemptions for the U.S. Open and The Open Championship, and an exemption to that year's PGA Championship in August. The winner earns 600 FedEx Cup points, if a PGA Tour member.</span><br />

The inaugural event in 1974 was played at Atlanta Country Club in Marietta, Georgia, with the final round in early September. It moved to the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1975 and to Inverrary Country Club in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in 1976 and earlier in the season, finishing in early March. Beginning in 1977, the event was played at Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida in mid-March, initially at Sawgrass Country Club's Oceanside Course (a combination of the "East" and "West" 9-hole courses). Since 1982,the tournament has been played across the road from Sawgrass Country Club, on the Stadium Course at TPC at Sawgrass.<br />Following the 2006 event, the course underwent a major renovation, which received very positive reviews from the players in 2007. Included in the renovation was a new 77,000-square-foot (7,150 m2) Mediterranean Revival-style clubhouse.<br />For most of its existence, the tournament was played in late March, two weeks before The Masters. In 2007 it was moved to mid-May, as part of a restructuring of the PGA Tour. This restructuring involved the introduction of the lucrative FedEx Cup, which concludes with The Tour Championship. The change gave the PGA Tour a marquee event in six consecutive months (The Masters in April, The Players in May, the U.S. Open in June, the Open Championship in July, the PGA Championship in August, and the Tour Championship in September).<br />With the rearrangement of 2007, the final round of The Players Championship is scheduled for the second Sunday of May, Mother's Day. To mark this, during the fourth round almost all players wear pink shirts or accessories, and many in the galleries also join them in donning pink garb. Also, like The Masters, US television coverage is presented with limited commercial breaks through the use of "Proud Partners": currently, this is PricewaterhouseCoopers, Morgan Stanley, and Optum.<br />Through 2013, the playoff format was sudden-death, lately starting at the par-3 17th hole. Since moving to the Stadium Course in 1982, only three playoffs have been necessary (1987, 2008, 2011) and the last two ended at the first extra hole, with pars by the victors. (The 1987 playoff started at the par-5 16th and went to a third extra hole at the par-4 18th, also a par by the winner.) The format was changed to a three-hole aggregate in 2014, similar to the PGA Championship, played over the final three holes, in order. If still tied, the playoff goes to sudden-death on the same three holes, starting at the 17th, the 18th, the 16th, and repeating thereafter until one player's score is lower. The format was first used in 2015.</span></span></span><strong><span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia";"><br /></span></strong><br />

The St. Johns Riverkeeper is the chief advocate and public’s voice for the St. Johns River. Responsibilities include: holding regulatory agencies and those polluting the river accountable; identifying and advocating for solutions that will protect and restore the river; working with government entities, businesses, community leaders and citizens to resolve problems that impact the river’s health; and communicating with the media and the public to educate and raise awareness about important river-related issues.<br />
<br />
As a former senior staff member for Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton, Lisa Rinaman has extensive experience building consensus around issues and helped implement numerous environmental initiatives and policies. Lisa was instrumental in leading the effort to develop and implement irrigation, fertilizer and Florida Friendly landscaping ordinances to better protect the St. Johns and local waterways. She also played a key role in securing state funding for water quality improvements, organizing the city’s successful Manatee Protection Plan, and pushing for programs necessary to fulfill the River Accord restoration plan for the Lower St. Johns River.<br />
<br />
Before being named the St. Johns Riverkeeper, Lisa served as a valuable member of the St. Johns Riverkeeper Water Policy Group (WPG), a group that advocates for water conservation and reuse and policies that are more protective of our water resources.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">• The St. Johns is the longest river in Florida - 310 miles long. It is one of the few rivers in the United States that flows north.<br />• The land area that drains into a water body is called a drainage basin - also called a watershed The St. Johns is divided into three drainage basins.<br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">• </span>The total drop of the river from its source in swamps south of Melbourne to its mouth in the Atlantic near Jacksonville is less than 30 feet, or about one inch per mile, making it one of the "laziest" rivers in the world.<br />• Because the river flows slowly, it is difficult to flush pollutants.<br />• Major pollution sources include discharges from wastewater treatment plants and runoff from urban and agricultural areas after it rains. This runoff carries pesticides and other pollutants into streams that lead to the river. Pollution is concentrated around urban areas.<br />• Saltwater enters the river at its mouth in Jacksonville. In periods of low water, tides may cause a reverse flow as far south as Lake Monroe - 161 miles upstream from the rivers </span></span></div>

good news for children and the polio eradication program, as the type 2

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia";"><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Dear District Leadership, <br />A friendly reminder, the deadline for our District's Young Professionals(YP) to submit an application for the YP Summit is <strong>April 8th</strong>. The summit will be conducted in Atlanta, GA on the campus of Georgia Tech June 10th and 11th.<br /><br />The event's website can be found at </span><a href="http://www.southlandyps.org/"><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">www.southlandyps.org</span></a><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">. The website describes the event, specifies who is eligible to attend, and provides the application/appointment forms. I encourage you to disseminate this information any young professional you feel is eligible and encourage them to submit an application. The young professional must submit their own application and video via </span><a href="http://www.southlandyps.org/"><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">www.southlandyps.org</span></a><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> by April 8th.<br /><br />You can encourage as many young professionals within your club to apply as you believe are qualified. Our Zone 33/34 Young Professionals Committee will then select the top three young professionals from our district to attend. We are looking for the very best young talent in our district.<br />Between Zone 33/34 and our District, all costs will be covered for those selected.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia";"><span style="color: black;"><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Once again, for all the summit details, please review </span></span><a href="http://www.southlandyps.org/"><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">www.southlandyps.org</span></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black;"> and encourage the young professionals to submit an application. <br />As always, if you have any questions regarding the opportunity, please let me know.</span></span> </span></div>

Burr is widely considered a leader in the real estate industry for his ability to analyze real estate potential and to lead companies that create unparalleled communities known for their recreational, residential and commercial value. <br /><br />Prior to leading GreenPointe Holdings, Burr founded the LandMar Group LLC in 1987 and led the company's creation of master-planned, award-winning communities in Florida and coastal Georgia. Burr's career started as a CPA with Coopers & Lybrand working in Miami and New York City. Burr also founded Hampton Golf & Lifestyles Management with former PGA of America President M.G. Orender in 1998 to develop and manage golf courses and community recreational facilities across the country. <br /><br />Throughout his career, Burr has been actively involved in business, civic and community organizations. He currently serves as Chairman of Jacksonville Civic Council (JCC) and has served as the Chairman of the Jacksonville Regional Chamber of Commerce and as the Government Affairs Committee Chair for the Chamber Board of Directors. Burr was named Developer of the Year by his peers and accepted a gubernatorial appointment to the Jacksonville Transportation Authority serving as Chairman in 2012 and 2013. Actively involved in several national and regional development organizations, he also serves on the Florida State University Board of Trustees, the Board at Episcopal School of Jacksonville, Fresh Ministries, Urban Land Institute and is a past board member of Northeast Florida Builders Association and the University of North Florida Foundation. A longtime advocate for bettering the lives of children, Burr is founder of the Monique Burr Foundation for Children, a foundation committed to the prevention of bullying and child abuse. <br /><br />The JCC is a non-partisan group of 70 prominent Jacksonville, Florida business leaders whose goal is to help resolve community issues by studying a problem, proposing one or more solutions, advocating for change, and providing resources and support. The entity is akin to a brain trust or think tank, but with influence and resources available.<br /><br />The JCC was incorporated on May 17, 2000 with Hugh Greene, John Delaney, Lynn Pappas, Pete Rummell and Steven Halverson listed as officers, but was inactive until December 2009. The JCC is a 501(c) entity which is a non-profit, tax exempt group like a chamber of commerce. Membership requires a minimum commitment of three years with mandatory meeting attendance, and an invitation from one of the officers. The JCC is funded by dues based on the size of the member's business, with a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $15,000. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">March is Water and Sanitation month. Water and Sanitation is one of Rotary’s Six Areas of Focus. There are 2.5 billion people in the world that lack access to improved sanitation and 748 million people that don’t have clean drinking water. Nearly 1400 children die each day from diseases caused by lack of sanitation and unsafe water. <br />This past Friday and Saturday, your incoming club president attended President-Elect training in Orlando. They are another step closer in their preparation to take your club’s leadership reins on July 1st. Make sure you say “Thank You” for their time and willingness to serve as your next club president. <br />Registration is now open for our 2016 District Conference and Assembly on May 13th-14th. <br />You can view all registration options along with the promotional flyer on our district web site.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">UF Health Jacksonville honored one of Northeast Florida’s longtime leaders in the medical community Feb. 25, naming the atrium of the medical office complex at UF Health North after former hospital CEO Marcus E. Drewa. Drewa led what was then known as Brewster Methodist Hospital for three decades, beginning in 1966, and took the organization from the brink of bankruptcy to one of the region’s most respected medical facilities. His vision, drive and passion formed the firm foundation of Methodist Medical Center, what became known as “The Miracle on Eighth Street,” and eventually became part of one of the premier academic health systems in the Southeast, UF Health.</span></span><br />

Sixty million people are displaced by armed conflict or persecution, and 90 percent of armed-conflict casualties are civilians, half of them children. Through service projects, fellowships, and other Rotary-sponsored campaigns, members train adults and young leaders to prevent and mediate conflict, and aid refugees who have fled dangerous areas. Members also pursue projects to address the underlying structural causes of conflict, including poverty, inequality, ethnic tension, lack of access to education, and unequal distribution of resources. <br /><br />Many of the Rotarians mentioned are working toward Peace as part of a Rotarian Action Group. A Rotarian Action Group is an autonomous group of Rotarians, family members, program participants and alumni who are experts in a particular field, such as conflict resolution, microcredit or water and sanitation. Group members share their expertise by collaborating with clubs and districts on service projects. There are over 25 different Rotarian Action Groups and a list can be found under the “Take Action” tab on <a href="http://rotary.org/">Rotary.org</a>.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

In celebrating this year’s theme, we also pause to reflect on the progress Rotary made last year — when each Rotarian was encouraged to "Be A Gift to the World." Rotary clubs across the nation gave their time and talents to worthy causes — whether it was donating dictionaries to local schools, collecting resources for area food banks during the holidays, or raising money to support efforts to eradicate polio.</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span></span></span><span style="color: #073763;"></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was September 13, 1954 that the matter of a second Rotary Club in Jacksonville came up in discussion. There was not universal agreement on the matter but there was universal agreement that any action should be deferred for at least another month. Four weeks later the Rotary Club of Jacksonville went behind closed doors to debate the need for a second Rotary club in the city. The debate was said to be spirited.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />A proposal was on the table to "cede that portion of the city and tributary territory lying south of the St. Johns River to a Rotary Club of South Jacksonville. However, the club reserved the right to admit members from that territory whose business, executive duties or professional activities are wide in scope, and without affecting the status of any present member of the club."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />Thus the Rotary Club of South Jacksonville was formed on a vote of 126 to 62 which reached the requisite two-thirds vote needed to change the club charter. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our</span> meeting on Tuesday, January 26th, is the club's annual meeting to
celebrate the founding of our South Jacksonville Rotary Club, its
members, and the announcement of the honoree of the special Frank
Sherman Award - named after South Jacksonville's charter President.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />Frank
was well known in Jacksonville as the founder of banking on the south
side of the St. John's River. People considered it "Frank's Folly",
opening a business in the sparingly developed Southbank. At the time he
opened his business off King Street, it was still necessary to use the
ferry to cross the St. Johns River. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />Frank
was a true self-made man who started as a doorman at the St. James
Hotel (previously located on the site of the current City Hall) and was
one of the first Red Cross Lifeguards at Jacksonville Beach. His
photograph and name are still visible in the makeshift museum inside the
Red Cross Lifeguard building at Jacksonville Beach. A deeply religious
man, Frank helped to establish San Marco's first Methodist Church and
paid for its large pipe organ which his wife, Helen (an accomplished
pianist and organist), played every Sunday well into her late 80's. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />Frank
and Helen Sherman left $16 million to Emory University's Candler School
of Theology to provide full scholarships for students working towards
a Master's Degree in Theology for many years to come. In 1997, there
had been 540 Sherman Scholar graduates. Bishop Hunt stated at his
funeral, "Frank is in heaven, and now heaven is a busier place."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />Don't
miss this fun and lively Founder's Day. And, as always, consider
bringing a guest. Let them hear what the Rotary Club of South
Jacksonville is all about.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Joe Miller will offer a lively and informative program about the history or Rotary and our club.</span></span><br />

As a note, Dwight James, from Douglas Anderson, who was one of the Westside regional contestants who did not win, sent Les Loggins the following email:<br />
<i>"Thank you Mr. Loggins Sir. It was a pleasure and honor to present in front of great Rotarians today. Seeing all of your faces motivates me to keep going no matter what! I wish you and Rotary all the more continued success!"</i><br />
<br />
Warm regards,<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Rotary Oratory Competition has just invited seniors from 45 public and private high schools throughout the First Coast to participate in researching, writing and presenting a speech about Jacksonville’s greatest assets. <br /><br />Winners from each of the Rotary club competitions will move on to the final event being held on February 18 at the Adam Herbert UNF Conference Center with a chance to win the Grand prize. <br /><br />On Tuesday, February 2, we will be hosting a regional competition among students from several High Schools. Each school will be bringing 8 guests including the student who will give the speech. Please be sure to welcome them to our meeting so they feel comfortable.<br /><br />As you know our club has raised the funds to support this project through generous contributions from our sponsors. All Rotarians and their guests in attendance are judges and will use a scoring rubric to vote for their favorite speech. The winner will be announced before the end of the meeting. </span></span><br />

clubs in Rotary District 6970 raised over $90,000 for PolioPlus through our
partnership with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars won the Rotary Game Day
against Indianapolis (probably helped by all the positive Rotary energy in the
crowd), Clubs in Rotary District 6970 won by raising just over $90,000 for
PolioPlus, local children, families, and military won as beneficiaries of
over 350 donated tickets to the games this year, and most importantly......
with the Bill & Melinda Gates match<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">,
$270,000</b> will go towards the fight to END POLIO! This is the
most ever raised in any of our Club/District fundraising
activities for PolioPlus. A special thanks to Brad Fain our Jaguars Liaison,
Theresa Smith our Ticket Coordinator & Jaguars partnership coordinator,
Patti Chapman for all her backroom work and keeping our numbers straight and
PDG Cynde Covington for her overall coordination of the program. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Kifimbo (Kee-Feem-bow) Holloway Parnell is originally from Bridgeport, Connecticut. Although a New Englander by birth, she has made Florida a place for academic enrichment and proudly, her home. </span></span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="description articleBody">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />She began her teaching career in Dade County. Her work as an English teacher in Homestead, Florida was highlighted in a former's students essay entitled "Apples of Gold," in which the student credits the then Ms. Holloway for an eye-opening year learning 7th grade English. This essay would win the young author Khaleah Evelyn, a 4 year college scholarship awarded by former Governor and Presidential hopeful, Jeb Bush. It also awarded Mrs. Holloway-Parnell recognition from Dade County Public Schools. <br /><br />Mrs. Holloway Parnell would eventually move to Duval County where she has served Florida State College at Jacksonville as an adjunct professor teaching English to immigrants assimilating into the United States and Kirby Smith Middle School as a Journalism and English Literature Instructor. Whether she is teaching adults or children, Mrs. Holloway-Parnell encourages her students to obtain an education in order to build a legacy for oneself, one's community, and one's nation. In her opinion, without a legacy, what remains is the baggage of history. </span></span></div>

<div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="description articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">December 13th was Rotary Game Day during the Jaguars vs. Colts football game. To say it was almost a perfect day would be an understatement. Prior to the start of the game, the Jaguars organization presented our district with a check to assist us in our fight toward eradicating Polio. With close to 1000 Rotarians, family members and friends in attendance, the Jaguars took the day with a 51 to 16 win over the Colts. We are still tallying all the information and after the holidays we will announce how much we have raised toward our Polio campaign. Thank you to the Jacksonville Jaguars Foundation and to each of you in support of this partnership. <br /><br />This will be the last Rotary minute of the year given most of our clubs are not meeting the last week of the year. I will resume the Rotary minute the week of January 4th.<br /><br />Wishing each of you a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, a joyous Holiday Season, and a most prosperous and exciting New Year. Regardless of your faith and religious practices may be, you each are a Gift to the World as we continue to Do Good in the World!</span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
