The Meeting, January 5, 2011
by Rual Perkins
President Brad Wilkerson opened the meeting and Dennis Bradshaw
lead in the pledge to our flag. Diane Brown said the invocation and
Rual Perkins had a joke for us. Rual also got his ticket drawn, but drawing
the Jack of heart s left a pot of $2078. Cards are down to about a dozen
now and the pot should be in the hands of a winner soon.
Program chairman Steve Butcher introduced Lou Profera, Co-owner and
VP sales and Marketing of Kennedy's Sausage Company. Lou was a third
generation beef and dairy businessman having worked in all aspects of the
meat business including slaughter, boning, sales and new product
development. By the age of 16 he was regarded as one of the best hook
and knife butchers in Philadelphia. He taught meat science and large
animal science at Penn State, managed six beef processing plants abroad, and has worked for Dole,
Del Monte, Chiquita, Swift, Campbell Soup, Burger King and American
Foodservice Corp.
He and his partners recently purchased Kennedy's Sausage located in
Parker County. The first year showed a loss and most recently grossed $5
M. He did this by incorporating sound business principles, providing quality
products the customer wants and innovative marketing. Their new plant,
located at Highway 281 S. and IH20 will be located in Palo Pinto County
and employ up to 75 people. Welcome Lou and company!!

Definition of Rotary

Rotary Club of Mineral Wells - eBulletin
How do you describe the organization called "Rotary"? There are so many
characteristics of a Rotary club as well as the activities of more than a
million Rotarians. There are the features of service, internationality,
fellowship, classifications of each vocation, development of goodwill and
world understanding, the emphasis of high ethical standards, concern for
other people, and many more.
In 1976, the Rotary International Board of Directors was interested in
creating a concise definition of the fundamental aspects of Rotary. They
turned to the three men who were then serving on RI's Public Relations
Committee and requested that a one-sentence definition of Rotary be
prepared. After numerous drafts, the committee presented this definition,
which has been used ever since in various Rotary Publications: "Rotary is an organization of business and professional persons
united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage
high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and
peace in the world."
Those 31 words are worth remembering when someone asks, "What is a
Rotary club?"
4 Way Speech Contest
by Steele, Dan
Our 4 Way Speech Contest has been scheduled for 7:00 pm, February 17,
in the City Council Chambers. Beth Watson and her committee have found
a date that does not conflict with UIL and other events the high school
students are involved in. All Rotarians are encouraged to come listen to
the speeches which will take less than an hour. The winner of the contest
wins a $1,000 scholarship.
