[fname], do
you remember this story? It seems
there was an important job to be
done and Everybody was sure that
Somebody would do it. Anybody could
have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that,
because it was Everybody's
job. Everybody thought Anybody could
do it, but Nobody realized that
Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended
up that Everybody blamed Somebody
when Nobody did what Anybody could
have done!
Please, don't be like Everybody! We
need Somebody -- no, Anybody - to do
what Everybody could have. Besides,
quite frankly, Nobody has done
enough! :) But seriously..... we
DO need some photos or video of your
club's projects for the District
Conference. Please
email them to me.
Additionally, please note our call
to
remember Rotarians who have
passed during this Rotary year.
See you at the Conference! -- Ken

Governor's
Notes
Fellow Rotarians,
Lack of
education is
probably one of our
biggest shortcomings
in Rotary. How do
we get the word out
to every person who
joins Rotary? One
way is to have a
District Assembly
where we can train
the leaders of the
clubs. This
training is aimed at
the officers and
committee chairs.
This past Saturday,
April 21, PDG Glen
Vanderford and DGE
Rufus Clifford did
an outstanding job
of training these
key personnel at the
Renaissance Center
in Dickson. Tommy
Martin and his team
did an excellent job
in preparing our
outbound exchange
students. There
were 83 Rotarians in
attendance. These
Rotarians gave up
their time on a
beautiful Saturday
so that they could
learn more about
Rotary and how to
serve more
effectively. I
salute everyone for
their efforts and
dedication.
We are closing
in on completing
another Rotary
year. There are
only two-plus months
left. What can we
do to wrap up this
Rotary year??? One
area where we can
still make a
difference is Every
Rotarian Every Year
(EREY). I hope that
each of you has (or
will) set aside
twenty-eight (28)
cents per day in
order to contribute
your one hundred
(100) dollars to The
Rotary Foundation (TRF) this
year. You can
easily send in your
contribution in
different ways:
-
Give the money
to your club
treasurer to
send in to TRF.
-
Go to
www.rotary.org,
where you can
view your
personal giving
history and make
a contribution
by credit card
online.
-
Go to
www.rotary.org
and download the
contribution
form which you
can fill out and
mail with a
check to TRF.
Be sure to
indicate that your
contribution is to
go to the Annual
Programs Fund so our
district will
receive half of this
money back for local
use in three years.
It's as easy as
that!! Thanks to
those of you who
have contributed
already this year
and have helped us
to increase our
giving by 21% over
this time last
year. Please take a
look at your
financial statement
and see if there is
some discretionary
money that you can
send to The Rotary
Foundation as we
continue to change
the world. This
needs to be done by
the end of May in
order to guarantee
recognition for this
year.
For two weeks,
the Murfreesboro
Rotary Club has
opened their homes
to eleven Russian
citizens who are
participating in the
Center for Citizen
Initiatives PEP
(Productivity
Enhancement
Program). This
delegation is
composed primarily
of Realtors who are
trying to explore
new ways to business
in a land that until
recently did not
have a Real Estate
market. Mortgages
are also a
relatively new
concept in Russia,
and the exposure to
our Real Estate
training is
invaluable to them.
When the Russian
team is not in
"school", they're
immersed in the
culture of the
"typical" American
family, where we
learn how life is in
each other's
country. This is a
great way to promote
goodwill and
understanding among
nations, and I
encourage everyone
to "home host" a
Rotary GSE team or
similar exchange
like PEP. Pictured
are some of the more
talented members of
the PEP club,
singing in Bubba
Woodfin's log
cabin.
The next big
event is the
District Conference
in Murfreesboro
during the first
weekend in May.
There are no
registration fees
for the conference.
You may attend as
many plenary
sessions and eat as
many meals as you
can work into your
schedule. We are
flexible! And we
are going to have
fun as we celebrate
the close of a very
successful year.
Just go to
www.district-conference.com
where you can
register and reserve
meals online or
download and print a
registration form to
mail in with a
check. However you
do it.....just do
it. We are looking
forward to seeing
you and yours then.
Continue to
Lead the Way,
Slick

GREEEEEAT WORK EVERYBODY!!!! For you who didn't go and don't have a full grip on what you accomplished; you can't imagine what all you have done.
Thanks to everybody, Ronnie
