OUR NEXT MEETING - June 24Image
"The Iceman cometh"
Dr. Lonnie Thompson

Lonnie G. Thompson is a Distinguished University Professor in the School of Earth Sciences and a Research Scientist in the Byrd Polar Research Center at The Ohio State University. His research has propelled the field of ice core paleoclimatology out of the Polar Regions to the highest tropical and subtropical ice fields. He and the OSU team have developed light-weight solar powered drilling equipment for acquisition of histories from ice fields in the tropical South American Andes, the Himalayas, and on Kilimanjaro. These paleoclimate histories have advanced our understanding of the coupled nature of the Earth’s climate system. Special emphasis has been placed on the El Niño and monsoon systems that dominate the climate of the tropical Pacific and affect global-scale oceanic and atmospheric circulation patterns.

His observations of glacier retreat over the last three decades confirm that glaciers around the world are melting and provide clear evidence that the warming of the last 50 years is now outside the range of climate variability for several millennia, if not longer. He has published over 185 peer-reviewed publications including several in the journal Science, led over 54 field programs, and has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the National Ocean and Atmospheric Association, and NASA.

We will meet at The Boat House at Confluence Park in the Buckeye Room.  The Boat House is located a 679 W. Spring Street.  The facility entrance is on Souder Avenue near its intersection with Spring. 

We encourage guests, visitors and those interested in membership to attend our meetings.  The cost for lunch at the door is $15

On June 10 we celebrated John Mount's 95th birthday.  Advertised as OSU themed entertainment we wanted to surprise John with the OSU alumni pep band, a barbershop quartet and friends from OSU, Methodist Theologic School and ROTARY.  A video of the band can be found on our Face Book page.

As we enter the new Rotary Year I wanted to remind every one how you can help the Club.

* Schedule an announcement or recap about a service project or event.

* Forward your Rotary pictures and videos to the office or post them on our Facebook page.

* Forward information about Rotarians, their families and their successes to the office.

Here are some recent examples.

This is the tenth year that our club will name an outstanding Rotarian for each of the Five Avenues of Service: Community, International, Vocational, New Generations and Club.  On June 28th each of the five Award Winners will receive a special lapel pin indicating within which Avenue they were awarded this honor and $250 toward becoming a Cap Ingalls Associate. The selection committee for this award consisted of former Award Winners.  Please plan to attend and help congratulate this year’s winners.

Rotarians - we are all to be congratulated on our membership efforts of late.  As we move into May, I would like to remind you that our ImageRotary TEAM Membership Challenge will continue through June.  We started the year with 319 members and are gradually climbing back to that number, but we need everyone's efforts.  Our current total is 306

If you have proposed someone and they have yet to pay their dues, making them a full fledged member, we need your help.  It's now that we need to assure our friends and prospects of our excitement upon them joining Rotary.  We have a new process developed by the Membership Committee to make these first few months easier and to help orient new members. 

Remember that these new members have red ribbons on their name badges.  Please make it a point to introduce yourself. 

Keep up the good work.  I can honestly say that I'd like to see a Sea of Red Ribbons on July 1, 2013!

Columbus Rotary's Youth Exchange Committee has had a continuing relationship with another exchange program called CISV. Unique to CISV is the "Village", a four-week international camp attended by delegations of eleven-year-old children (two boys and two girls) and an adult leader from twelve nations. Approximately sixty Villages are held each year in various locations worldwide.

This year CISV is holding a "Village" in Bexley and is looking for host families to take 2 eleven-year-olds for the weekend of July 12-14h to broaden their experience in America (and to give their adult counselors a break). If you would like more information, or are interested in being a host family, please contact Rotarians John Koetz or Paul Blevins.
