Message from President Tony / Photo by Joey Timmer Thank you to Bob Goebel, Roger Bowles, Dan Kreis, Joey Timmer, Paul Blissett and his fiancé Jamie, Shelli Kadel, Tony Morrow, and several Interact students for building the bookshelves in Bob's workshop last Thursday evening. A special thanks to Bob and Roger for all they did to make this event happen, as well as all who attended the preparatory session last week to get the materials ready for the assembly. In 2010 Marv Fisher attended his first indoor football game and was hooked. As time progressed he befriended numerous players and coaches. He had the opportunity to travel with the team on numerous occasions, attend practices and assist in the locker-room. He and his wife, Vickie, sat in on many surgeries and recoveries as well as providing that parental touch, assisting them in recovery from colds, allergies and broken hearts. This contact led to a passion for the game, but a greater passion for the players and lead to his decision to form Wichita Indoor Football LLC. Marv Fisher, CFP, SagePoint Financial Inc., has been a member of our Rotary club since February 1995. SALVATION ARMY BELL RINGING Dear Fellow Rotarians, I want you to know how much I appreciate the care and concern that so many of you expressed to me and my family following my wife's death. While Carina had to drop out of the downtown club some years ago due to business scheduling issues, as a Paul Harris Fellow she continued her love and respect for all that we do. Thank you one and all! Phil Michel PS I'm going to be missing for a few weeks as I head east to be with my family over the Holidays, but I'll see you in early January.

THE ROTARY FOUNDATION GIVE THE GIFT OF ROTARY ~Every gift to The Foundation has an impact ~ Taken from Rotary International Every year, hundreds of thousands of people — children, families, and entire communities — benefit from projects funded by The Rotary Foundation. Although Rotary gives back in countless ways, we focus our service efforts in six areas: promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, saving mothers and children, supporting education, and growing local economies. You can help us continue to create positive, lasting change with a gift to The Rotary Foundation. FOUNDATION DONATIONS Message from Brent Groves, Foundation Chair The goal of our club this year is for more members to contribute to Rotary Foundation, with the ultimate goal that all members would contribute $100 or more this fiscal year. As a fun way to promote this goal, we will have a drawing at the end of the fiscal year for all members who have donated a minimum of $100 to the Rotary Foundation in this fiscal year. The winner of the drawing will receive the use of a vacation home in Colorado for one week, courtesy of Roger Bowles. The reward of giving to the Rotary Foundation is the knowledge that 100% of your gift is serving people around the world. Thanks to Roger, we are able to offer a little extra incentive for you to consider making a donation. Thank you for your generous support of the Rotary Foundation.
