Bulletin for the weeks of October 1-7, 2010
Upcoming Luncheon Programs and Club Events
The Rotary luncheon was held at the Provo Downtown Marriott Hotel. President Steve Tolley conducted the meeting. Tom Powell lead and Ron Roberts accompanied the singing of the Anthem and Pledge. Kirk Parkinson offered and invocation.
Guests:
•Dean Jackson introduced his guest Rev. Jessica Hatch
•Robert Reddd introduced his wife Mary Redd
President Steve Tolley awarded his monthly "Ties that bind" award to Linda Palmer for her general loveliness and for her leadership of our club’s annual charity golf tournament. However, in this case he presented her a quilted apron which she modeled for the club.
Kris Forbush served as sergeant asking trivia about cartoon characters. This was done in honor of today’s 50th birthday of the Flintstones, the first animated television cartoon series for prime time viewing.
Robert Redd introduced Charlie Morgan (see photo below), a BYU professor of sociology who presented a fascinating study of illegal Hispanic immigrants in Utah as related to crime. He noted the Hispanic population of Utah has grown from around 30,000 in 1978 to around 300,000 now. Approximately 3.8% to 5.4% of them are illegal. The exact number is not known. He presented a bewildering array of statistics to show that illegal Hispanic immigrants don’t seem to commit crimes at any higher rate than the general population in Utah, and perhaps at an even lower rate.
