Rotarian of the Day . . .Doug Whitworth Doug Whitworth was born in Joplin, Missouri which caused him to have an instinctive lack of trust in people.  Doug still to this day finds himself all too often saying "show me"!  After a trying 3 days, Doug moved to Miami, Oklahoma where he changed the world in mostly undocumented fashion until leaving the nest to attend Oklahoma State University.  After OSU, Doug spent time working for Haliburton Services in Duncan, then Lowrance Electronics in Tulsa, changing the world (again, mostly undocumented). Doug is married to Jodee (whether she likes it or not) and together they own and operate ACE Town & Country in Vinita (well, actually the bank owns most of it), which they opened for business in 1999.  Doug and Jodee have three wonderful children, Dakota, Deonna, and Dejay.  All three of Doug's children have unanimously grown weary of hearing their dad say "show me"!

Welcome Senior Rotarians ANNALEE BEISLEY AMELIA BUSSEY

Spotlight on Service "Sharing Rotary" Are you aware of the responsibility or obligation most Rotarians fail to perform? Paying their dues? Attending meetings? Contributing to the club‚Äôs service fund? Participating in club events and projects? No‚ none of these! Of all the obligations a person accepts when joining a Rotary club, the one in which most Rotarians fail is "Sharing Rotary"! The policies of Rotary International clearly affirm that every individual Rotarian has an "obligation to share Rotary with others and to help extend Rotary through proposing qualified persons for Rotary club membership"! It is estimated that less than 30 percent of the members of most Rotary clubs have ever made the effort to propose a new member. Thus, in every club, there are many Rotarians who readily accept the pleasures of being a Rotarian without ever sharing that privilege with another qualified individual.   Be Kind! Celebrate, "Random Acts of Kindness Day", today! February 17, by doing something for someone in need.
