Nick Warrington was born and raised in Well-ston, Ohio (Jackson County), located in the heart of Southeastern, Ohio. Growing up, Nick was in-troduced to Rotary at an early age through the Wellston Rotary Club’s annual variety show fund-raiser. For many years, Nick volunteered as a member of the stage crew for the variety show until he graduated high school when he had the chance to join the variety show. Nick traveled back to Wellston during his first two years of col-

lege at Wright State to participate in the variety show. In addition, Nick was a Rotary Senior of the Month in High School and the recipient of a Rotary Scholarship. Today, Nick serves as the Director of Events & Community Engagement in the College of Liberal Arts at Wright State University. In his role, he is responsible for managing and executing one of the region’s premier fundraising events, ARTSGALA.

asks that every donate $50 to purchase a much needed winter weather basics package of hat, coat, and gloves. There will be Holiday Caroling for anyone who wants to spread good cheer on December 4th. You get snacks and a bus ride! Hurry, because this will be a fun time for all but is limited to 24 people. Kim checked to be sure the Red Ribbon folks were sitting one per table. Hopefully, she didn’t notice that one table had five! Pretty sure we set a record but not all records need celebrating. The Rotarians with birthdays were recognized and then we moved into a lively round of Day-Tens. To start it off, Kim recognized Fred Abrams for his most distin-guished recognition by the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT). Fred gave a Day-100 for an honor from AFIT. The Air Force Institute of Tech-nology (AFIT), is celebrating its 100th anniver-sary this year. Over the past decades AFIT has designated 37 of its graduates as Distinguished Alumni. These include folks like Jimmy Doolittle of WW-II fame and Astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Frank Borman. On Nov 7th AFIT will designate Fred Abrams as its 38th Distinguished Alumnus. The ceremony will likely cite his volunteer project management efforts in Africa for Dayton Rotary. Fred's son noted what Buzz and Fred have in common - neither was the first man to set foot on the moon. (In reality, both were combat experi-enced fighter pilots, both flew the F-100 fighter, and both went to AFIT for their advanced degree - their careers diverge somewhat after that). There were several Day-Tens in honor of Paul Gruner and the importance of round-a-bouts in Italy plus another for a fixed light on the Main Street bridge. Other donations recognized the Battle of the Bricks, beginning of Bach Season (information also on the tables), Cory moving to the Red Cross in Columbus, Pete had his gall bladder out, everyone needs to vote! So get in-formation from the Dayton Daily News or at the libraries and go vote no until 7:30pm on Novem-ber 5th, Linda Grover’s son went to France and met up with the Croatian exchange student while visiting Amsterdam (No one knows exactly how all that happens but it is a great example of the global personal connections that Rotary facili-tates), and Sarah Hippensteel Hall, directed everyone to Imagine a Day without Water. She explained that the Miami Conservancy District has provided (Rotary favorite) coasters found at the tables with information on their Keep Our Water Clean information. And finally we all had a smile as we considered the joys of coaching first grade soccer. Following these updates, do-nations, and good laughs, President Jean wel-comed two new ...continued on page 4

THERE IS STILL TIME TO DONATE...

We will once again be providing coats, hats and gloves for Dayton Public School children*. These children attend different schools throughout the district, and many are HOME-LESS and living in shelters or are living in eco-nomically disadvantaged home situations. *We will help as many kids as funds allow (last year we helped 200+! ) Alisa Zink is serv-ing as our coat drive chair again this year. AZ-ink@thinkheartland.com (937-409-7355).

How Can You Help? We ask that you donate money to the coat fund, and we will do the shopping for you!! (Simply donate $50 or whatever you feel comfortable giving, and we will pur-chase a coat, hat and gloves for a child - checks should be made payable to Dayton Rotary with Coat Project in the memo section.) We received a generous matching grant from the District Foundation to use for this project but we still need YOUR help to

reach the match goal.

Since our weather is unpredicta-ble and unseasonable, we would like to get the coats to the stu-dents by early November.

This Happened Last Monday Continued members. Lisa Wagner introduced new member, Wendy Lewis. Wendy leads Logos that Work. She has a long his-tory of leadership with various non-profits in the area, at-tended University of Dayton and Ohio State, and has two daughters plus one grandson. Amanda Burks then intro-duced Nick Warrington from south east Ohio. He was once in a Rotary variety show (everyone who is setting up enter-tainment, take note!), has been involved in Rotary since high school (probably means he should join the Rotaract/Interact committee), and works at WSU where he manages the amazing Arts Gala. In general he likes to fundraise and possibly drink beer. Jean then recognized Kim Haverstick for the continued success of his family business. Carolyn Rice read a proclamation that detailed how the business began in 1919 as Haverstick Building and Remodeling, changed to Haverstick Builders in 1942, and Kim became president in 1987. The Haverstick business has been an important part of Dayton history for 100 years and is noth-ing less than remarkable. Kim expressed he is happy, proud, and still going. Frank Scott gave an update on the Rotary on-going interna-tional project of eliminating polio. He showed a short video and followed with more information. The video directs Ro-tarians to go to rotary.org/give to contribute to help “fight disease and bring hope.” Frank told that on October 24th, National Polio Day, it was confirmed that the 2nd type of wild Polio has now been eradicated. This means that 20 million people are walking today who wouldn’t if they had contracted Polio. He reports that next year Africa may also be declared polio free. It is hoped that each club will give $1,500 toward polio. Anyone who gives will have the honor of having a pinkie fingernail painted purple. Frank conclud-ed by making a $500 pledge toward polio. Jean added that she has several personal relationships with those who have suffered from polio and askes that more Rotarians give and have a pinkie nail painted. We then moved on to a very interested, although rushed due to time, presentation by Dawne Dewey, Head of Spe-cial Collections and Archives at Wright State Universi-ty. Dawne loves being an archivist and her passion was evident and entertaining. She shared just a few stories ranging from the flood to a wild balloon ride over the city, leaving everyone wishing for more. She shared that the Archives house over 25,000 volumes, started in 1967, has grown to over 16,000 lineal feet of material and now needs a larger, more modern home. The stories collected and conserved are open to the public, free of charge (not even parking fees are charged), and cover a wide range of infor-mation on aviation, local and regional history, and Wright State archives. Information was on the table with a request for donations for their new center. And finally, as a few edged toward the doors, there was a draw for the 50/50 raffle. Mr. Bill Weiner had the winning ticket but pulled the two of spades leaving the Queen to another chance for someone next week. We were reminded that next week will also focus on Wright State with a presentation on their Research Institute. The meeting adjourned at 1:20.

 

We will meet and board a bus and brighten the day of some folks who can’t get out. We will sing and share

our holiday cheer at One Lincoln Park at 6 pm and Walnut Creek Nursing Home at 7 pm and return to the church around 7:45 p.m.

Snacks will be provided on the bus, and we will end the evening at the home of Connie Mahle

(219 Schenck Avenue 45409) for soup supper, dessert and conversation from 8:00-10:00 p.m. Space is limited at Connie’s home to 40 people.
