Alice's Corner 5-6

Life happens and I may not always write my "Alice's Corner"

Week before last we had a substitute speaker.  John Gimmler of the Tucson club gave us a report on the big and better quarters of the Carondelet Heart Center.  He admitted he was not a heart surgeon.  But he did give a detailed history and future plans for the cardio thoracic program.  His background was unique and very interesting.  He reminded us that Rotary leads in finding ways to stay ahead of our ever challenging environment

Suelee recognized Harold Burtzloff for his service to Rotary for 45 years.  Congratulations Harold!!

We welcomed our members who returned from Brail.  They will be giving a presentation on May 21.

This week our speaker was Bora Materazzo.  Her pen name is Vic Hera Houn.  She has written a book about her persecution and escape from Cambodia.  She saw  her family, with the exception of an aunt, all pass away.  She was punished by the government for having been from an affluent family.  She had to learn to live and act as a peasant.  Her book is called The Bamboo Promise.
