Report of Provo Rotary Meeting Held October 23, 2014


President Ricky Hood 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, Steve Sabin gave the opening prayer. 
Guests were introduced, and in a rare turn of events Chaplain duties and Sgt. at Arms were both bypassed in order to allow the maximum amount of time for our speaker.

SPEAKER



Speaker District Governor Mike Wells spoke on the District Conference and the goals of Rotary (including the theme of Light Up Rotary).  He spoke of the plans for service in Mexico, his experiences traveling with youth to do service there, and the opportunities that it provided.  He shared the ways that they would be able to help, and built excitement for the opportunities for real service and camaraderie.  At the end of his presentation, he received a well-deserved standing ovation from the Provo Rotary Club.

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.
