Midday News for AMRC V13 N23 For December 6

 
Rotary Monthly Theme - December
 
December is Disease Prevention and Treatment Month
Rotary is dedicated to fighting and preventing disease.  Disease Prevention and Treatment is one of Rotary’s Six Area of Focus.   Disease and illness results in pain and injury.  Prolonged severe illness may result in loss of employment and income.  It affects families.  It affects quality of life. 
 
Rotary and Rotarians are committed to helping people to live healthy lives.   Our signature project in this area is Polio Eradication.   But polio is not the only disease or aspect of healthy living on which Rotarians have expended energies.

January - Judges for Four-Way Test Contest Needed
Four-Way Test Speech Contest
George H W Bush Elementary School
January 13, 2023
10:00 am
 
George H W Bush Elementary School in Addison and the Addison Midday Rotary Club is holding a Rotary Four-Way Test Speech Contest at Bush Elementary on January 13, 2023 @ 10am. Each student will present a speech on what Rotary's 4-Way Test means to them and how they can make life at Bush Elementary School better by relying on the principals of the Four-Way Test. 
 
This is the first time a Four-Way Test Contest will be held at Bush Elementary School, and the first time (we know of) for a Four-Way Test Contest in an Elementary School.
 
We need as many Rotarians as possible to serve as judges for the contest. We would really like a "full jury box" (legal term) of judges. While the duration of the event will be determined by the number of participants (TBD), the event should not take longer than 2 hours. If you can give even 1 hour of your time, please consider being a judge. 
 
From Kelvin "I am really excited to see how the elementary students perform! This is a great opportunity to directly serve the youth, our community, and improve life in Addison."
 
If you are available and interested in judging the Four-Way Test Contest please notify Kelvin at kelvin@roqski.com
