Yo, Adrienne!
 
 
 
 
We had a full house to listen to Ralf Vargas, former Chief of the NATO Situation Center, which was the diplomatic and political headquarters for NATO. 
  .
 
We learned that NATO and the European Union are separate alliances, and about the complicated effect and potential impact of BREXIT.  And, every nation acts in its own self-interest.  And more.
 
Stan Goodin, Member of the Week 
Occupation Owned 5 Shell Stations. Worked at NY Life for 35 years!  
Why he joined Rotary: Joel Glover asked Stan to join RSR in 1981 when Denny Granata was President and had his hunting accident. 
Background: Left college to join Navy during Vietnam conflict, but discovered he was not destined for a life at sea.  Returned to UNR.  
Fun Fact His first job was as a prune picker! The details are too complicated for this bulletin--but he learned to work hard because he was paid by the "lug"...  
 
Inspiration Board 
Tori DeLaRocca honored Dan Carne for his work on the Oktoberfest Auction...Kyle Whaley  honored Alex Lepe as his sponsor to RSR... Dan Carne honored  Dave Gallagher, a visiting Rotarian, for his participation in 89 Rotary International Projects (!) and Jonnie Pullman for her work on ABO. 
 
Dave Gallagher, PDG for District 5920 reported on the vocational training project in 4 rural Romanian schools that RSR donated funds for.  Students are learning carpentry, agriculture and other skills and are able to support their families.  A very successful project!
