PROGRAM INTRODUCTION: Steve Thomas, MD
Addiction is a curse for those
who suffer from alcohol or drug
dependency – and for their
family. Yet, it’s difficult to kick
being hooked.
Psychologist John DenBoer
is a specialist in the area of
addiction counseling, specifically the neuroscientifiic and
psychological aspects of
addiction.
DenBoer is a leader in the
treatment of addiction that
involves inserting a pellet in a
patient’s rear that lasts for up
to a year. It blocks the high and
reduces cravings. But the pellet
wouldn’t be enough. DenBoer’s
treatment also involves

Rotary Begins to Spread
The inventor of the first Rotary club was
more conscious of its deficiencies than anyone
else. He rejoiced to see it expand to helpfulness
to others outside the membership of the club, He
dreamed of similar clubs in other cities.
Rotarians sometimes think that Rotary
advanced from city to city and from country to
country. That it developed of its own accord and
without effort on the part of anyone. No, Rotary
has become world wide in its influence because
of the untiring effort to extend it.
My relations with my friends of the Chicago
club constituted a remarkable illustration of the
binding power of Rotary. Notwithstanding the
fact that Rotary had come to mean to me something very different from what it still meant to
some of them.
The Doubting Thomas’s were ever present. There’s but one way to convince a Doubting
Thomas and that is to do the thing he says can’t
be done and on that basis the Doubting Thomas
who said it would not be possible to organize Rotary clubs in any city other than Chicago became
convinced that it could and should be done.
It was disappointing to me but most of my
fellow Chicago Rotarians refused to be stampeded into my “Rotary Around the World” phantasy.
Nothing is more disconcerting than the blank
look of friends to whom one’s hopes are unintelligable. I soon learned that the best way to get
things done was to do them myself.

REPORTED BY DR. PHIL GEIGER • PHOTOS BY DAVE JOHNSON
President Carl F.
Petersen called
the 23rd meeting
of the 101st year of
Phoenix Rotary 100
to order, the last
meeting of 2014.
He then introduced
Ted Taylor who
gave the Invocation, led the Pledge of Allegiance.
The Rubber Band led the patriotic song and Ted
then introduced visitors including the District
Governor Elect and past district governors.
The 51st year of the
Rubber Band – with its
longest member, Dr.
Bob Lorenzen – and
Randy Long as our
“Grinch” and even Santa
Claus, shared their
musical talents playing
“Winter Wonderland,”
“Living in a Phoenix
Wonderland” and “We Wish You a Merry
Christmas.”
President Clef announced that the Grape Arizona
Wine Event will be held Sunday, February 8th
from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Irish Cultural Center in
Phoenix. For $60 in advance, there will be great
eats, wine tasting from Arizona’s top vineyards,
and micro-brewed beer. All proceeds go to the
Phoenix Rotary 100 Charities and the Phoenix
Firefighter’s Association. Please sign up now at
www.grapearizonawineevent.com.
Anyone who
donated $50 to the
Food Bank this
month was entered
into a wine drawing and PP Dr.
Chuck Emerson
and Bill Gumbert
were the winners.

PP Roger Marce thanked this year’s Second
Century Golf Tournament sponsors, PE Dr. Tony
Kakar of System Solutions $10K, Jesse Curlee
for the Supima Cotton Association $5K and the
Arizona Community Foundation $2,500.
Sgt. at Arms Dr. Greg Pafford fined some of the
members for their notoriety as “trend setters” in
Uptown Magazine. Stan Levine was fined $50 on
behalf of his wife. Lori Cameron, Lori Howard
and Annette Petersen had a collective $100 fine
levied and Ted Taylor exploited his $50 fine by
encouraging everyone to donate to authorized
charities (like Family Promise) who provide
services to the working poor, especially since
Arizona provides a 100 percent tax credit for up
to $400 per family. Reminder that you can also
donate $400 to any public school for extracurricular activities and $1,056 to school choice
organizations; all 100 percent refunded in your
state taxes.
PP Jos Anshell presented a $5,000 check to
Doug Carter for Upward for Children and
Families that serves schools for children with
special needs.
Volunteers are still needed for the RM Car
Auction at the Arizona Biltmore every day from

and Jesse Curlee and Paul Kennedy $50 each.
Today’s chair of the day,
Terry Gilberg introduced the director of
The Scottsdale Chorus,
Lori Michaels who has
been serving in this
capacity for 21 years.
This internationallyrecognized chorus provides four-part harmony a Capella style and are
part of the Sweet Adeline’s International. They
have won competitions since 1984 and have 120+
members from all over Arizona. The Scottsdale
Chorus provided a fabulous holiday program,
putting everyone into the Christmas and Chanukah spirit. We heard “A Little Patch of Heaven
Way Out West,” a medley from the Beatles,
“Silver Bells,” “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”
(jazz style), “White Christmas,” “Sleigh Bells,”
“Zona Wonderland,” “Silent Night” and “Holly
Jolly Christmas.” Michaels was given a certificate
acknowledging a donation to the Kenya Water
Project in the chorus’s name.
President Clef then asked the staff of the Phoenix
Country Club to come forward and receive a special holiday bonus from Phoenix Rotary 100. The
next meeting is January 9, 2015. This concluded
the 5,053rd meeting of the Club.

Rotary International does not
endorse political candidates and
prohibits clubs from endorsing
political candidates. However,
this should not prohibit candidates from speaking at club
meetings. It is the responsibility of Rotarians to be informed
about the issues affecting their
local community, state and nation.
Rotary clubs throughout the
world include members who
have many different religious
beliefs and values and yet are
united by their service to humanity. Each Rotary club uses
its own judgment in conducting
its meetings in a manner that
