Today we were doubly blessed to have two outstanding speakers.
First was Josh Murphy, subbing at the last minute for Gail Robbins whose mother is ill. He told us about the Food Bank and his work specifically with the Produce to People. It has spent $164,000 for food at the Braddock site, first Saturday of each month. This serves an average of 412 families, meeting the criteria of an income of $30,000 for a family of 4. Each month about 35-50 lbs. of food are handed out. Josh and the food bank are very appreciative of our hands on work, at the Blazing Bingo.

CALL FOR PLACEMAT ADS by Joanne Schleifer
These will be for the Braddock Rotary and Good Shepherd Parish and School Speghettie Luncheon. Business card -size ads are $25, payable to Braddock Rotary Club ad sent to Joanne Schleifer at 200 Comrie Street, 15104. Questions? contact Joanne at 412-877-7052
See the Upcoming Events at left for more Braddock Rotary Club activities and events.
Five Questions for: Erin Harrell, Our Newest Member
What brings you to Rotary? And to the area?
Like most big changes in life my moving to the area is the result of many small events. A good friend from high school, Callie Curry, came to Braddock in January of 2007 to participate in an art show. She fell in love with a beautiful building in a place with an intriguing mix of unique historical significance and an all too familiar post-industrial present. She called me and a few other people with whom she had previously worked and invited us to dream of the kind of life we'd create for ourselves and neighbors if we had the chance. We spent a few months talking about what we knew of the area, what we overwhelming didn't know, and what we wanted to learn.
Our dream project grew to include artist residencies, textile work, a print shop, alternative construction techniques, urban agriculture, and on and on. We agreed that the details would need to develop over time and in context and we realized that our core values and work ethics aligned enough to create a really strong organization. The timing was right for me as I was finishing graduate school for Arts Administration and looking for a next step. I felt as if my entire background of nonprofit work, community organizing, and art work could be used in this adventure.
More than anything else it is hope for a life rooted in personal responsibility, relationships, and the freedom to take risks that brought me here. I decided to come to the first Rotary meeting on a whim. The good natured comraderie and commitment to doing good in the world made we want to come back.
What have you enjoyed about being in Rotary so far?
All of you!! I really appreciate the welcome that has been extended. Growing up in the church the word "fellowship" has come to mean a lot to me. I also value the opportunity to get to know people that I might not otherwise meet.
What surprised you about the Club, if anything?
How much laughter there is at each meeting. It's been a good surprise!
What might the Club be surprised to know about you?
I always feel like such an open book; I'm not sure how to answer this one. Something about myself that still surprises me - In 2005 I completed two triathlons, one in Texas and one in Florida. Not as surprising: I didn't keep up my training afterwards.

His first trip was 4 years ago and this one was much more fun, he said. (Although the long trip there is harder on the ol' "bod" he admits!)
Friends of VietNam was the sponsoring group. Doctors fitted prosthetics of vicitms of land mines.
There are obvious signs of life: the larage ocean liners in the MeKong River Delta, and large planes parked on the tarmac at the airports.
One of the more intriguing 'tours' was visitng part of the 200 mile long tunnels of Chu-chi, a literal labyrinth of offensive and strategic wonder.
He visited a school, inspired and built by a vision of a 13 yr old western OH girl, coupled with leadership from World Vision.
Tom told how at one school they distributed back packs (and other gifts) to the school kids in the 95 degree heat, while the communist rulers just sat; they are 'not connected' to the people.
On the fourth day they flew to DaNang, a large base during the war, located on the S China Sea. Tom was surprised by how large DaNang is and how well lit by neon lights. Motor scooters are EVERYWHERE, with kids being brought to school in this way, wearing NO helmets. The helmet law covers adults only.
Hotels were 5 star, with a very cosmopolitan atmosphere in the large cities, such as Saigon and DaNang.
In answer to one of our questions, Tom said there is no animosity toward Americans, for we tip well!!
>>>>>>>If you missed today's meeting, Tom will have a power point presentation later...so these verbal images will be expanded to a visual delight for all...
BE SURE AND BE PRESENT !!
WInner of 50-50 of $12 was Gus Gray, who just returned home last week end from a two week cruise on Holland America lines.

Guest Speaker today was Jim Simmermon, Fox Chapel Rotary, introduced by John L Sullivan. Jim came to help us remember our esteemed and Mr Rotary, Joe Miller. Many guests came, including: Candy and Debbie Whitney,Gus Gray's granddaughter, Alexis, Bob Brindley and his best friend Bev, Kimmie Sullivan.
As Jim Simmermon told his stories about Joe, our Rotarains relayed some favorite memories.
Gus spoke about how persistent Joe was, appearing at his plant, as Gus moved into Braddock with his welding business. Finally Gus concluded that if he joined Rotary, then Joe would leave him alone. "That was one of the best decisions I ever made!"
Mike Tobias spoke about the full pakcet of 37cent envelopes that we ALL rec'd regularly, just jammed with clippings and reminders.
Amy Starrett seconded the idea of Mike's, how she was 'pressured' to become President, ("we all take our turn at that"), while Joe was still with us to guide her.
ALso how left handed Joe would sent her Dad, also Left handed, notices about the Happy Left Handers day.
Cindy Whitney was told by Joe, not to join, or she'd stop doing all that she was doing to help our club! Cindy also always carries $1 around, a repayment on quick loan to Joe for a 50-50 ticket.
"I'm too busy" to be a Rotarian was no excuse for Tom Michlovic, Joe told him. Joe is "indefatiguable" (don't know how you spell that word Tom/Ron!!) Tom had know Joe at Camp Twin Echo, where he helped shape the lives of so many Boy Scouts
Guest Bob Brindley said that "never a Thursday night passed that we didn't talk", except if Joe was called to sub- volunteer at the Braddock Hospital, which he DID do regularly. Bob and Joe agreed that If a club is to succeed they MUST have a program and a bulleting. Or else, they are in trouble!
Jim, with 57 years perfect attendence gave us a framed favorite photo of Joe. Then later he us a box of corn flakes, covered with photo and sayings of Joe's that we all know so well. Tom touched all our hearts as he spoke Joe's words into posterity:Your task---to build a better world, God said.
And I asked Him how.
This world is such a large, vast place,
So complicated now
And I so small and useles am.
There's nothing I can do.But God in all his wisdom said,
Just build a better You.
Skip and I suggest that his
poem be put on our bulletin, front and center, part of the
permanent reminder of Joe and what our Goals for
our club are:
"Enthusiasm is the outward expression of an inner conviction."
Winner of the $17 50-50 (again!!!) Rose Miles, Congrats!
MAY 1
We were so pleased to see Cliff Wise join us....come back soon!
Our Rotary meeting today was highlighted by the power point presentation of John L Sullivan, (ably assisted by our own Ron G) of John and son Brad's week trip to help repair the homes of two victims of Katrina, in Biloxi MS. John said that they were treated as "Rock Stars" because they are plumbers; (contrasted to the run of the mill volunteer who paints or cleans up or tears down damaged dwellings). Before they went to their plumbing assignments, John showed us photos of the fun time in the French Quarter in New Orleans.
In the Presbyterian Church where they slept, they found the bunk bed barracks style difficult at first, but the quickly adqpted within 24 hrs to the living situation. Part of the work involved digging, which in Biloxi was so easy because the soil is sandy, not hard clay-like here in w. Pa. What was different too, was the lack of strict building/plumbing codes which is much more lax there. They enjoyed the young Canadian men who knew how to dig and work hard. John L said that he really enjoyed being away with his son Brad for a week, a real high point of that week in March.
Winner of the 50-50 of $16 was banker Dave Perla. It will help with his trip to the District Conference at the new Bedford Springs Hotel!

Five Questions for: Erin Harrell, Our Newest Member
What brings you to Rotary? And to the area?
Like most big changes in life my moving to the area is the result of many small events. A good friend from high school, Callie Curry, came to Braddock in January of 2007 to participate in an art show. She fell in love with a beautiful building in a place with an intriguing mix of unique historical significance and an all too familiar post-industrial present. She called me and a few other people with whom she had previously worked and invited us to dream of the kind of life we'd create for ourselves and neighbors if we had the chance. We spent a few months talking about what we knew of the area, what we overwhelming didn't know, and what we wanted to learn.
Our dream project grew to include artist residencies, textile work, a print shop, alternative construction techniques, urban agriculture, and on and on. We agreed that the details would need to develop over time and in context and we realized that our core values and work ethics aligned enough to create a really strong organization. The timing was right for me as I was finishing graduate school for Arts Administration and looking for a next step. I felt as if my entire background of nonprofit work, community organizing, and art work could be used in this adventure.
More than anything else it is hope for a life rooted in personal responsibility, relationships, and the freedom to take risks that brought me here. I decided to come to the first Rotary meeting on a whim. The good natured comraderie and commitment to doing good in the world made we want to come back.
What have you enjoyed about being in Rotary so far?
All of you!! I really appreciate the welcome that has been extended. Growing up in the church the word "fellowship" has come to mean a lot to me. I also value the opportunity to get to know people that I might not otherwise meet.
What surprised you about the Club, if anything?
How much laughter there is at each meeting. It's been a good surprise!
What might the Club be surprised to know about you?
I always feel like such an open book; I'm not sure how to answer this one. Something about myself that still surprises me - In 2005 I completed two triathlons, one in Texas and one in Florida. Not as surprising: I didn't keep up my training afterwards.

HELP Support the Foreign Exchange Student by Tom Nunnally, Forest Hills RotaryThis past year, I was a host counselor for Manami from Japan. Forest Hills was the host club, which required a monthly stipend (walking around money) of $75. So that this burden does not fall on one club, Forest Hills split the cost with Churchill. This year, we have a young lady coming from France. She will be a senior at the high school. I will again be the host counselor and we have the host families. I am hoping that some other of the clubs in the Woodland Hills (Braddock, Swissvale, and Turtle Creek would split the cost (about $25 per month each). This way everyone has a chance to be involved. Thank you for your consideration.
