Triad Flight of Honor -
[July 1, 2010]
Since October 3, 2009 there have been three flights in the Triad
Flight of Honor program.On each flight one hundred (100) World War II veterans
boarded a US Airways chartered flight from Greensboro to Washington, DC for a
one-day trip to visit the WW II Memorial and other interesting sites. Regretfully,
our country is losing nearly 1,500 WW II veterans each day and this is a tremendous
way to show tribute and thanks for their service and sacrifice. Priority will
be given to veterans whohave never seen the WW II Memorial and who otherwise would
not be able to go due to financial and/or physical limitations. Three
more flights are scheduled. Click here for details

I
know I speak for Mike and Marlee when I say thank you to all of our committee
for the fantastic job that you did to make our District Conference the success
it was. I am happy to report that 99% of the feed back that I have received has
been positive and it is a tribute to all of you that worked so hard to make it
so. One of the goals of the conference was to uplift and inspire our fellow Rotarians
and to send that back in to their own clubs motivated to share the energy of the
conference, and this I feel sure we accomplished. You are a great bunch folks
and I feel honored to share the success of the conference with you and the ripple
effect that it will ultimately create in the world. We will be sending out a survey
to all attendees and I would ask that each of you be sure to share your feed back
as well. Thank you again for all that you did (much of it we will never know)
to make it a Conference one to remember.

Brothers'
Breakfast
Since
December 2004 District 7690 governors, past governors and governors-to-be have
met each Tuesday at Brothers' Breakfast to discuss Rotary matters and to share
a wonderful fellowship. The 'Brothers' were PDG Don Allred's father and uncles,
who encouraged the governors to join them each week. At the first Rotary Brother's
Breakfast there were three Allred brothers and one cousin - and two governors.
In early 2005 brother Aaron passed away. On September 18, 2009 brother Boyd followed.
Now again on October 12, with great sorrow we learned that we lost our last brother,
Don's dad, Howard. On the Rotary side, now there are approximately eight "Rotary
Governors" who mourn the loss of the Brothers.
Howard was an extraordinary minister. The memory that I shall always carry of
Howard is that when called upon to pray, it was obvious that he was talking to
his best friend. We will miss Howard as we miss all the Allred brothers. But with
luck Brother's Breakfast will continue. - phil morris Click

Golfing Fellowship Wins Polio Praise
The
Third Annual Ray Taylor District 7690 Golf Tournament scored well with our district's
Polio Challenge effort, earning more than $1100 from the generous contributions
of brave young golfers shooting at a very small target.
This
year's event was played on the beautiful West Course of the Grandover Resort.
It was the second time the Golfing Fellowships tournament had been held at Grandover.
There were 120 players organized under the direction of PDG Don Allred and TRF
Chairman Patrick Eakes who have been providing excellent leadership for a number
of years. As usual, their efforts were ably assisted by Pat Allred who organized
the $10 booth at the 5th hole where all the money was raised. This year a use
was found for the namesake, Ray Taylor, who was able to supplement Pat's cajoling
and his wife, Betty filled the divots after the players left the tee.
