Eric Dolberare attempted a make-up at Louisiana..they were not having a meeting, so he found a local Rotarian, took him/her to luch (paid for it too), and asked for a make-up on a weird pice of paper in an unusual way,,,,,(kinda like Wayy's napkin routine)...[Chuck, being desperate for his records, accepted it.]

Literacy Committe has received a $2000.00 check for the grant, and is planning on getting Kindle Electronic Books for each school. This should be a great help for the students.

Ann Revis reported we need sponsors forthe Drug/Alcohol Program which is tenatively May 13. (gett-'um)....

Program: Kaye Iftner introduced Blake Roderick, Manager of Pike/Scott Farm Bureau, Past President of our Rotary Club and a Paul Harris Fellow. He is in his n30th year here in Pike County,

Blake told us about then 25/25 program to become self reliant on renewable energy. We are doing a good job on ethanol and soy diesel, and now are looking at wind, and Pike County has a lot of wind energy available...

Reliance on petroleum is no longer possible in the future, and need solutions.

Homew grown solutions are helping, and looking into bio-mass as also a possibility here.

Harvesting the wind and light can save oil reserves for the future generations.

He also talked on the many ways the Farm Bureau has worked on to improve the availability of food, plus, the promoting of all facets of creating new energy sources.
