  President's
Message |

There isn't anything else that is more
important to the life of a Rotary Club than bringing in
new members. Other areas such as attendance, good
programs, and interesting and meaningful club activities
and projects can't go on without an energetic and
growing base of members. New members are critical
just to prevent the club from shrinking and becoming
ineffective. We have seen it happen in other clubs
as well as our own. It is a proven fact that a
Rotary Club will lose a minimum of 10% of its'
membership a year to changes in jobs, finances, other
commitments, illness or death. It's likely that
about two or three of your fellow Rotarians
that you had lunch with last week will not be here a
year from now.
The benefits to you of bringing in new
members are numerous. There will be more people to
help in committees and on projects. There will be
more funds in the treasury to accomplish bigger and more
meaningful projects. New members bring in fresh
new ideas. They expand the base of people that you
get to know through Rotary, enabling you to develop new
friendships and business contacts. Steve LeMond,
Chairman of Membership Development, has many good ideas
to help us along, but he can't do it himself. He
needs each one of you to sponsor at least one member
this year. You are a member of Rotary because you
care and believe in the ideas of Rotary. You
probably joined because a friend invited you and you
wanted to get involved and meet new people. Share
Rotary with a friend.

Last Week's Program
Glenn
Trowbridge
The Most interesting
Parttime Job in the World
Glen
regaled club members with interesting stories and facts
about being an internationl boxing judge. Glen reported
that he is not a sports fan.A judge cannot afford to be
swayed in one direction or another. Everything is viewed
as the Red or Blue corner.
This is a lonely occumpation on
the road. You can't fraternize with promoters, fighters
because you will be acquised of bias.
The judge must thoroughly know the game and you are
married Thoroughly know the game. You
may not bet, you can't wear t-shirts with names on them.
nor make comments to the to thetee shirts. You cannot talk to
the media
- Judges can
not solicit for tickets.
Scoring is a challenge.You cannot mix up the
rules. Each round is scored as a separate flight;
judging is done on all kinds of details of
the match, no credit is given for
wounds. There are techniques used by the judge to
keep track. Glenn moves on a grid along his area of
ringside.
Perspective is an important aspect for the boxing
judge. Announcers often misrepresent what is
happening, because they have oly one perspective.
Boxing places judges at different positions.around the
ring so that their combine scores
dictates the outcome.
Judges decisions are monitored
statistcally for predjudices: left over
right handed, Black over white, Brit
over Mexican,
Lots of dollars for Ron
Kirsh's Birthday.

News and
Announcements
The Rotary International Convention is
being held in New Orleans next year, May 21-25,
2011. Good hotel accommodation near the Convention
Center is going to go fast - a couple of places are
already sold out! Dennis and I made
reservations this past week at the Holiday Inn on Canal
Street, two blocks from the Convention Center.
New Orleans is a major fun place to
be and Rotarians from all over the world are going to
take over the town. It'd be really great if we had
a good group going. If you're thinking of
attending, go onto the Rotary site and make your hotel
reservations NOW (if you have to, you can cancel without
penalty pretty late in the game).
GSE
I want to personally invite each and every one of
the Southern Nevada Rotary leadership to recruit
candidates for Group Study Exchange.

work in District 5300. The ideal candidate is
articulate, a team player, outgoing, responsible and

On the Lite
Side
One day God was talking to Adam and he
said "Adam you look lonely, I know I'll give you a woman
but it will cost you an arm and a leg."
Adam said
" what can I get for a rib?"
The rest is
history.
