Program:
Barbara Fisher
Student at Hempfield
Presented her Four Way Speech Contest Speech to the club.
Barbara Fisher took on the challenging subject of war, and what we can learn from reflecting on war through the lens of the Four Way Test.
She noted that in this country we have become “Masters of War”. Some times do call for war.
But people on this earth are all one family. What if you are on the other side in a war? How is killing each other fair to all concerned? How does it build goodwill and better friendships? How is it beneficial to all concerned?
Barbara Fisher concluded that these are not easy answers, but that we must end war before war ends us.
Cheers for Barbara!

The Girls of Rotary were out on the town last week, prowling for new members at Hayden Zugs. Did they catch one?
In their unofficial Board Meeting, did they make any plans and decisions for the future of the club? I guess only that guy on the right knows for sure.
