Dr. Seuss as Technical Writer

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, 
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort, 
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, 
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

Supporting the Rotary Foundation is simple through Rotary Direct
 
Supporting The Rotary Foundation helps to improve Water and Sanitation world wide.
 
We here in Texas are blessed with an infrastructure that makes sure all of us have good clean safe water to sustain us. However, much of the world is not so fortunate. Clubs like ours throughout the world are making a difference by implementing water and sanitation projects that are funded by The Rotary Foundation (TRF).
 
Did you know that you can give as little as $10 to support such efforts through Rotary Direct? Simply select the Annual Fund you wish to support, the amount you wish to donate, whether your gift is a one time gift or monthly, quarterly or annual. then simply provide your credit or debit card information. For me, it is a budget friendly way of supporting the Rotary Foundation and water projects throughout the world.

Thursday Funnies for March 1st
A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communications equipment. 

Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter's position. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, and held up a handwritten sign that said "WHERE AM I?" in large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building window. Their sign said "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER."

Lewisville Morning Rotary has a Rockin' Vision for 2021
On a rainy February 17th Saturday morning seventeen of our members did an outstanding job of developing a comprehensive vision for our club that will be used for formalize an exciting strategic plan that will provide the template for serving our community and the world through 2021..
 
Through a dynamic process called visioning, members shared their vision and we gathered ideas that were synthesized into a comprehensive vision that represents what are club can accomplish in the community and the world between now and 2021.
 
A giant shout-put goes to Rotary District 5790 Visioning Team members PDG Gene Davenport, Pat Peters (Decatur Rotary), Roger Pascal (FW International Rotary) for giving up their Saturday morning to guide us through the process.

So, how do you know that the water in the tap is safe and will it be there when you need it
March is Rotary Water and Sanitation Month
 
March 22, 2018 is the UN World Water Day. Unlike many parts of our world a safe and plentiful water supply is taken for granted in Denton County. So, to celebrate, we will be moving the time and place of our regular March 22nd meeting Rotary meeting to the Upper Trinity Water Plant on 900 N. Kealy in Lewisville. This is a family event! Our Meeting start time will be 5 PM. The outdoor business meeting will start promptly at 5:15 pm with our normal Rotary moment of inspiration, pledge and happy thoughts, followed by some very brief business matters that President Jeff may need to announce. At 5:30 PM Rich Lubke and a few members of the Upper Trinity Water Treatment plan will do a very interesting short presentation followed by a tour of the Water Plant itself. After the Water Plant Tour, we will convene the Rich Lubke Community Organic Garden for a family picnic where members will be serving our families Hot Dogs and Hamburgers with all the fixins  prepared from the Salvation Army Emergency Canteen.
 
In addition to the water plant tour, the families will have an opportunity to visit the Rotary Demonstration Aquaponic Grow Bed.
 
This will be a fun evening for the entire family regardless of age complete with some age appropriate games like name that plant and name that vegetable. We will wrap-up around 7:30 pm which is before dark which Google says is 7:58 pm.

Just a Few Minutes Work - Dentist Joke
Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry, it will only take 5 minutes.
Patient: How much will it cost?
Dentist: $90.
Patient: $90 for just 5 minutes of work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.
 
 Club members are very proud of the Dental Project members did in Costa Rica earlier this year. No extractions, just a lot of great Dental Hygiene work by members Jeff Siebert DDS assisted by Carolyn Wright and Frances Al-Waely.
