Report of Provo Rotary Meeting Held October 2, 2014


President-Elect David Rogers conducted today's meeting.  Jill Moon lead the singing of the Nation Anthem and conducted the Pledge of Allegiance with Ron Roberts accompanying the National Anthem on the piano.  Following the pledge, Tyler Vigue gave the opening prayer. We then sang "Happy Birthday" to no one in particular, as there were no Rotarians with birthdays in October.

 Charlotte Clark was then inducted as a new member, and she introduced herself to the group.  Several other items of business were discussed, including the receipts closing from last year, a board meeting next week, and that the club still had seven park benches.  A trip to Japan in January was also discussed.
Guests were introduced, and the Chaplain, Vic Ludlow, made no report.  Tom Sawyer handled Sergeant duties.

SPEAKER



Speaker Terri Sawyer spoke on Rotary Youth Exchange, and the different programs that were and are available.  She described the costs (a significant savings over traditional foreign exchanges) and the benefits that it provided.  She pointed out that it had been since 2007 that the Provo Rotary had last participated in sending out a youth.  She announced a meeting for those interested in knowing more.  Katrina, a Czech student, spoke about her experiences and the aspects of being on an exchange that she most enjoyed.

Our speaker this week was Sven Wilson, professor and chair of the Political Science Department at BYU.  Sven is also the visionary and founder of the Character First movement as highlighted on the Doug Wright show on KSL radio . 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.
