Defense by Design UFO's, the Military & the Media

Today, the topic of UFOs (or UAPs as they are now being called) have captured the interest of the media, of Congress, of academia, of NASA, and of course the military. But why? What is it about this subject that has been in the public discourse for some 75 years that caused such a resurgence in today's culture? Maybe at least a partial answer can be found in the context and history of the phenomena which will be discussed in this program.
On May 16, 2023 the Addison Midday Rotary Club (AMRC) sponsored a Four-Way Test contest at the George H W Bush Elementary School in Addison. Nineteen students from three grades participated in the contest. Each student who participated received passes to the Ross Perot Museum. Judges included Rotary District 5810 Govenor Howard Templin, AMRC Member and Addison Mayor Bruce Arfsten and AMRC Member Stephanie McGovern.









On May 2, Joe and Chi Chi, owners of the May Dragon where we meet, were made honorary members of our club. Congratulations.




At our April 11 meeting, the Addison Midday Rotary Club presented a check to Traffick911 for the service they provide.
Traffick911 is a North Texas-based non-profit organization existing to free youth from sex trafficking by building trust-based relationships.


The Philippine Project

Recently President Jerry received news that our Global Grant application has been uploaded for Rotary International to review. The Grant has not been approved. However, all the financial commitments and required signatures from our club and our District have been met.
AMRC and the Rotary Club Legaspi West Global Grant is to supply water to small community in the Philippines. Presently the community of approximately 500 people must walk about a mile to a spring and carry the water back to the village.
The proposed project will build a concrete tank and install a solar pump in the spring to pump water into the tank. A pipeline will be constructed to carry the water into the village.
The Addison Midday Rotary Club supported the MetroCrest Services at their Keyholder Breakfast by hosting a table for club members. 

Funds raised at the event will support current operations and expanded programming at their new building.
In 2005 Metrocrest Services (then Metrocrest Social Services) launched the annual Keyholder Breakfast. The name pays homage to the original Metrocrest Services’ logo, which featured a key and the tagline, “the key to preventing homelessness.”

On March 21 the Addison Midday Rotary Club made 75 Easter Baskets for Hope Supply. This is at least our tenth year of making baskets and is our favorite project of the year.

Page Tucker, Director of Program Operations at Hope Supply responded with this note:
Thank you, and all the members of the Addison Midday Rotary Club, for the fabulous Easter Baskets. They are phenomenal and are sure to bring many smiles, to many young faces. We are so appreciative of your time, resources, and talent, in making these baskets. Hope Supply Co. is not able to purchase items, like these Baskets, so your donation is priceless. We would not be able to provide these wonderful treats without your assistance. Please know we are so grateful for your support.
The Addison Midday Rotary Club was full of lovely people, with very giving spirits, and it was a joy to be with everyone today. Thank you too for our lunch. Was very generous of you to buy that for us as well.
We so appreciate the Rotary Club remembering Hope Supply Co. again this year. We know you have a lot of choices, when it comes to non-profits in the area, and we are thrilled we were chosen by you.
Again, with tremendous gratitude, thank you,
Page P. Tucker, MHCA
Director of Program Operations
