Report of Club Luncheon Meeting April 7, 2011
The meeting was conducted by club president Steve Tolley. Dinner music was provided by Ron Roberts. The Anthem and Pledge were led by Jill Moon. Kris Forbush offered an invocation.

Greg Hudnall introduced his guest Mark Holley from the Provo School District. Also visiting was Rick Shelton from the American Fork Rotary Club and Blake Romney from Provo Channel 17.

Ray Beckham encouraged all members to wear their Rotary pins every day and to donate their used Rotarian magazines to their doctor or dentist office waiting room.

Greg Hudnall served as sergeant and auctioned another lovely quilt made by Tamara Tolley with proceeds going to the Provo Rotary Charitable Foundation. The quilt was purchased by Steve Densley.

Jill Moon introduced today's speaker, her husband Gary Moon, a talented artist and sculptor. First we viewed a lovely movie showing Gary's love for the outdoors and for wildlife which began when he served an LDS mission in the Jackson Hole area of Wyoming. He then spoke about his sculptures and how he creates them from beginning to end, even doing his own bronze foundry work. He also paints water colors. The largest sculpture he ever made was a 17-foot tall moose which stands at the entry to the Wolf Hollow development in Wasatch County.

For this week's meeting,  Sven focused his thoughts on rejecting the populist movement circulating in today's politics and spoke about the necessity of a strong leader who shows compassion and isn't afraid to admit when he or she is wrong. Just another way to keep politics civil and promote goodwill in all aspects of life.
