The amazing thing about being a part of Rotary is that our love and outreach can reach around the globe and touch lives. Today we received an amazing gift from Malawi, where in 2022 we partnered with other Rotary Clubs in our Rotary District 6670. This gift is an original painting by Malawian artist Samuel Banda. Samuel lost both of his hands by amputation after he fell into a fire during an epileptic seizure. He has learned to be self sufficient and even paint incredibly moving paintings about life in Malawi. This painting is from a photo taken on the day the community received their LifePump. Our club is incredibly honored that we have been gifted such a significant reminder that our help in bring safe water to the village has transformed lives and gives hope for generations.
This week we'd like to spotlight two of our successful community projects! Bob Walsh & June Smith head up our Senior Care Project each month. This week Bob gave us a great presentation of all the things we've done for the four Franklin Foundation Senior Living facilities. From gift bags and PPE during the pandemic, to in person concerts, BBQ's and Poffertjes Parties once we could join them in person, our club has made an impact to these seniors.
 
Another group of 'Seniors' would be our STRIVE Kettering Fairmont Senior Students that Missy Mae heads up with Victor Colon at KFHS. This past month we joined our students for pizza and an art project at Rosewood Arts center. The school year is almost up, so mentors please consider nominating your student for at scholarship. Just email them Missy Mae!

Dayton History at Carillon Park: Inventors

Inventors from Dayton are responsible for a wide range of ideas that have changed the world. At one time Dayton was known as the city of a Thousand Factories. James Ritty’s invention of the cash register led to NCR. Kettering’s automobile self-starter led to Delco. Thomas Midgley’s leaded gasoline led to Ethyl Corporation. And the Wright Brothers’ airplane…well that led to nearly everything else. Many creative minds from Dayton shaped the world we live in today.
