The Pessimist complains about the wind.

 Spotlight On Service...Rotary Radio Night

Many years ago, the late Rotarian Don Yarger came up with the idea for Rotary Radio Night, a fundraising activity to raise money for Senior Scholarships. KITO Radio has generously donated the air time each year since then, and our own Rotarians serve as honorary "DJ's" for the four-hour event, working in teams of 2 or more for 30-minute stints. Each year we look forward to the iconic wisdom of Rotarians like Jess Clanton and OB Johnston . . .s well as the unique humor of those like Dee Robison and Don Daniels.
 
Prior to Rotary Radio Night, Rotarians sell "ads" to local businesses. At one ad for $35 and two or more ads for $25 each, these are a cost-effective way for businesses to help support our senior scholarship endeavors.
 
Dee Robison has again graciously volunteered to Chair Rotary Radio Night this year. He has arranged with Fellow Rotarian Bill Hodge to have a LIVE broadcast from the Hodge Dodge Dealership.
 
Your help is needed NOW!! Rotary Radio Night is only as successful as the number of advertisements we can sell. Dee has packets available. Won't you volunteer to contact a few businesses?
 
For the 2008-09 school year, we awarded a $1,000 renewable scholarship (for up to 4 years of college) as well as a $500 one-time scholarship to well-deserving Senior Rotarians. We plan to again offer a $1,000 renewable scholarship for the 2009-10 school year as well. Please help make this possible!
