The first, entitled ―Church Wars,‖ was a greeting from our Club to Governor Glenn’s home Club, Rim Country Payson Rotary. The second video was a personal greeting to Governor Glenn called ―An Introduction to Rotary 101.‖ 10) Assistant Governor John Slentz introduced the Governor by providing us with a brief bio: Glenn was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado and graduated from Colorado State University (CSU) in Ft. Collins, Colorado, with a Business Administration degree. After a 42-year career in municipal public finance, he retired in 2007. He joined Rotary in 1995 during his first week of work with the Town of Florence, AZ. He's been in Rotary ever since. Retirement allows him time to fully pursue his love of micro and landscape photography and custom frame making. He and his wife are contributing partners of the "Artists of the Rim Fine Art Gallery."


There was just the Rotary Club of Payson when Glenn moved to Payson in 1997. As the town and the Club grew, the need for a second club was born and Rim Country Rotary-Payson Club was organized in 1997 with Glenn as a charter member and the charter Treasurer. He was treasurer for a few years and the club president in 2003-04. Glenn was his club's Centennial Rotarian of the Year. At the District level, Glenn served three years as the Assistant Governor. He also served as a Sergeant-at-Arms for two District Conferences, was on the District PR Committee and assigned to the District Finance Committee. Glenn has been married for 49 years to Sherry, a charming and friendly partner with an easy smile. Sherry became an Honorary Member of the Rim Country Rotary-Payson Club 2003. As District 5510 First Lady, she adds special warmth to all the meetings that she attends with her husband. They will celebrate their 50" anniversary within months of the end of Glenn's year as District Governor. 11) PRESENTATION: Governor Glenn Smith

DG’s Strategic Plan As Rotarians, we need to ―Seize the Vision‖. If we reject the possibility that it may work, we may miss the opportunity. The success of a vision rests on the willingness of people to examine the vision’s potential.‖ As Rotary International President Ray Klinginsmith said: We must be ―BIGGER – BETTER – BOLDER‖. I have chosen to focus my efforts this year toward helping you and your Club to ―Seize the Vision‖ – your Rotary vision A Vision is future oriented. It is not so much a solution to current problems as it is a glimpse of what the future could be if specific things happen. It is a view of future possibilities rather than a criticism of the present. A vision always brings into being a strategy for making the vision come to pass. It finds it power in a practical proposal for its fulfillment. Author Bill Carter, outlined six steps to fulfilling a vision: 1) ―Seize the Vision.‖ ~ As Rotarians, we need to ―Seize the Vision.‖ If we reject the possibility that it may work, we may miss the opportunity. The success of a vision rests on the willingness of First Lady Sherry Smith. people to examine the vision’s potential. 2) ―Clarify the Vision‖ ~ The visionary must have a very compelling insight. You must be able to put it into a form so that those who are called upon to accomplish it, can understand it. 3) ―Test the Vision‖ ~ Your vision should be tested among appropriate groups to see how well it is understood and what may be required for its acceptance 4) ―Form the Vision‖ ~ You must reduce it to a clear, concise statement and express it in terms people will understand. You must outline the steps for its completion. 5) ―Share the Vision‖ ~ You need to share it with your club, your district or both. You must help those who will accomplish it and those who will benefit from it to buy into the process, and accept responsibility for the vision’s fulfillment. 6) ―Incarnate the Vision‖ ~ Bring it down to earth. Make it real. Give it a presence. Help it live. District Goals District and Club Strategic Planning and Visioning – Where are you going and how will you get there? ―The strength of Rotary is determined by the strength of the clubs…where clubs are weak, Rotary is weak. If your club is not performing as it should the tools are available for you to change. Club Visioning is one of the most effective of those tools.‖ PRIP Bill Boyd  Group Study Exchange: District 9640 Australia: o Out-bound Rotary years 2010-11 ~ (3/7/2011 – 4/5/2011) o In-bound 2011-12 (DGE Alan’s Havir’s year)  Membership Development - Growth and Retention: ―Each Rotarian: Reach One, Keep One‖  RI: New Member Sponsor & Retention Recognition Program – July 1, 2010  New Membership Committee Structure - District Regional Membership Coordinators (DRMC)  Rotary Foundation support and utilization ―Every Rotarian – Every Year‖  Training Opportunity: November 6, 2010 – Location: East Valley Institute of Technology (Mesa)  Grant Utilization Opportunities available  New District RF Committee Structure - District Regional Foundation Coordinators (DRFC) District 5510 Conference 2011  When – June 10-11, 2011  Where – Hon Dah Casino Resort and Conference Center, Pinetop/Lakeside in the Cool White Mountains of Arizona!!!!  Who – YOU and your Family  What – Rotary FUN for all, GREAT Speakers, entertainment, activities, awards, concurrent learning sessions.  IMPROVEMENTS – SHORTER meeting format 12) Corey thanked the Governor for a great presentation and adjourned the meeting at 8:15 AM.

In Memoriam Sgt. Sean Drenth Police officers gathered Monday morning for the funeral of Sgt. Sean Drenth, 35, who was found shot to death by his own shotgun last Monday. The sergeant was found by Capitol police in an industrial dirt lot not far from the State Capitol in downtown Phoenix. The police are treating the case as a homicide, but do not have any suspects at this point. Services for Drenth, a 12-year-veteran of the force, were held at Christ's Church of the Valley in Peoria. Drenth was laid to rest at Phoenix Memorial Park. Drenth, 35, is survived by his wife of 13 years. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone, MT, or the Arizona Humane Society. The Drenth family released the following statement through the Phoenix Police Department. ―We would like to thank everyone for their support during this devastating and difficult time for our family. The grief we are feeling is impossible to put into words. Sean was many things to many people but to us he was a beloved husband, son, grandson, nephew and cousin. Sean filled our lives in every way, especially with his love, generosity and humor. To say that Sean had a great sense of humor is an understatement. He had a passion for music, guitars and animals. Sean’s two "best friends" were his dogs, Chili and Belle, and he had a song for every occasion. Words cannot possibly begin to express the void this tragedy will leave in all of our lives. We are so very proud of Sean and the honorable profession he chose and so loved. We all know the dangers associated with the job but still no one ever imagines something this devastating will ever actually happen to their family. Sean was so proud of the uniform he wore and the fellow officers he served with on the Phoenix Police Department. Given the level of support they have shown us the past few days, we can now understand why Sean considered them his second family. This is a loss to our family that we will never get over. As we struggle with the loss of Sean, we want to take this opportunity to thank the Phoenix Police Department and the community for the support they are providing. Thank you for respecting family's privacy as we grieve.

Sadly, the sound of Sean's music and laughter is silenced and will be missed forever.‖

Get Involved! This project runs through January 8th

Making a Difference...Making a Difference... So, RIM's fundraiser, A Dollar Makes A Difference (http://www.adollarmakesadifference.com), kicked off this last weekend - how many of you would be willing to help us prove a point? We have been challenged (by the "YES I CAN" man himself, Don Ratliff) to set a big goal for this fundraiser. We were originally going to go for $25,000.00. Don challenged us to double that, which we found very exciting and adventurous, in all sorts of ways that have caused RIM and I (Mrs. Rim) to both grow as individuals and as partners in both life and this endeavor. We are very grateful for that! So, here's where we can use your help. This fundraiser began last Saturday October 9, 2010 with the kick-off party, and it will end officially on Saturday January 8, 2011 with a party that is ALREADY promising to be a huge event! During these three months - amidst all the activities and events and contests and raffles that will be getting under way - we are going to ask for people to participate by donating just ONE DOLLAR to this fundraiser. Of course, if people would like to give more, that would CERTAINLY be welcome. But the whole point behind "A Dollar Makes A Difference" is this: $50,000.00 SEEMS like a lot of money to raise, doesn't it? Now look at it this way... What if 50,000 PEOPLE each gave ONE DOLLAR APIECE?! That seems a lot more do-able, doesn't it? What would happen if YOU were to donate just ONE DOLLAR, and then ask one or two of your friends to do the same? Would you be willing to part with ONE DOLLAR to be a part of something HUGE to benefit a group of heroes who are not only worthy of our attention and appreciation, but who DESERVE our attention, appreciation and admiration? We are asking for your help in the form of giving just ONE DOLLAR, and then asking your friends to do the same. What's a dollar to you? What if YOUR dollar is the one that makes the difference? Guess what... IT IS!! We are so grateful for your willingness to participate! And I, personally, am so very grateful for your help in contributing to my husband's success in this venture that is so incredibly close to his heart.

A Dollar Makes A Difference A dollar can make a difference It can change a person's life It can serve a soldier in combat It can serve that soldier's wife*

We let our soldiers know that we care By supporting Packages From Home Your dollar will go toward shipping A package of "care" to the combat zone

God bless America, and God bless those men and women and their families, who have sacrificed - for us - more than we can ever hope to really comprehend or appreciate.

Rick and Sandi Daly "I want to serve the people who have been serving FOR US."

And when our troops return They sometimes need a hand The Emergency Relief Fund Provides "solution" for problems unplanned As we raise money to help these two charities Our intention is simply to serve The men and women who give of themselves That our forefathers' Dreams be preserved.

The Phantom of the Opera (1925)

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS The Birthplace of Horror Universal Horror is the name given to a series of distinctive horror, suspense and science fiction films made by Universal Studios from 1923 to 1960. The series began with the 1923 version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and continued with such movies as The Phantom of the Opera, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, Bride of Frankenstein, Werewolf of London, Son of Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, The Wolf Man, and Creature from the Black Lagoon. The iconic gallery of monsters created by Universal has created a lasting impression on generations of avid moviegoers around the world. 1910s (The Early Years) Universal started out by the name Independent Moving Pictures Company (IMP). Universal had only one horror film Dr Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1913). This was huge because this was one of the first horror films ever made. 1920s (The Silent Era) Universal's earliest success in the horror genre was the historical drama The Hunchback of Notre Dame in 1923. It starred Lon Chaney in the title role. The lavish production sets rebuilt 15th-century Paris on an epic scale, even re-creating the famed Notre Dame de Paris cathedral. A runaway success at the box-office, Hunchback of Notre Dame inspired Universal to produce their first true horror film, The Phantom of the Opera, based on the mystery novel by Gaston Leroux. The film was released in 1925. Chaney designed and endured torturous make-up that even exceeded the demands of his previous role as the Hunchback. And as with the film Hunchback, the sets played an important part in the film. The interior of the OpĂŠra Garnier was recreated to scale, and remains one of the longest-standing


previous role as the Hunchback. And as with the film Hunchback, the sets played an important part in the film. The interior of the Opéra Garnier was recreated to scale, and remains one of the longest-standing film sets to this day. It was used for the 1943 remake with Claude Rains, as well as numerous other pictures. The set is contained on Stage 28 at Universal, which was constructed specifically for the film and dubbed "The Phantom Stage." Chaney, who was a free-lance player at the time of Phantom of the Opera's production, signed a contract at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and could no longer produce character roles for Universal. His death in 1930 ended any possibility of his leaving MGM for another studio, and Universal turned their attentions to other actors such as German character actor Conrad Veidt, who was a success in 1928's The Man Who Laughs. 1930s (The Golden Age) Béla Lugosi as Count DraculaIn spite of the Great Depression, executive Carl Laemmle Jr produced massive successes for the studio with Dracula (directed by Tod Browning) and Frankenstein (directed by James Whale), both in 1931. Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's MonsterThe success of these two movies launched the careers of Béla Lugosi and Boris Karloff, and ushered in a whole new genre of American cinema. With Universal at the forefront, film makers would continue to build on their success with an entire series of monster movies. These films also provided steady work for a number of genre actors including Lionel Atwill, Dwight Frye, Edward Van Sloan, and John Carradine. Other regular talents involved were make-up artists Jack Pierce and Bud Westmore, and composers Hans J. Salter and Frank Skinner. Many of the horror genre's most wellknown conventions—the creaking staircase, the cobwebs, the swirling

The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)


of the horror genre's most well-known conventions—the creaking staircase, the cobwebs, the swirling mist and the mobs of peasants pursuing monsters with torches—originated from these films and those that followed. Boris Karloff as the MummyThe Mummy was produced in 1932, followed by a trilogy of films based on the tales of Edgar Allan Poe: Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932), The Black Cat (1934) and The Raven (1935), the latter two of which teamed up Lugosi with Karloff. The Invisible Man, released in 1933, was a phenomenal hit and would spawn several sequels. Of all the Universal monsters, the most successful and sequelized was undoubtedly the Frankenstein series, which continued with Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Dracula too had its share of sequels, beginning with Dracula's Daughter in 1936, although none would feature its original leading man, Bela Lugosi. 1936 also marked the end of Universal’s first run of horror films as the Laemmles were forced out of the studio after financial difficulties and a series of box office flops. The monster movies were dropped from the production schedule altogether and wouldn’t re-emerge for another three years. In the meantime the original movies were re-released to surprising success, forcing the new executives to give the go-ahead to Son of Frankenstein (1939) starring Basil Rathbone. The 1940s (The Monster Mash) Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolf ManDuring the forties, the most successful of the new series of Universal Horror movies was The Wolf Man (1941), which also established Lon Chaney, Jr., as the new leading horror actor for the studio, following in his fathers foot steps. In 1943, the "Phantom stage" was employed for a remake of Phantom of the Opera, this time starring Nelson Eddy and Susanna Foster in a film that was as much musical as horror. Claude Rains played the Phantom. The Frankenstein and Wolfman series continued with The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942) and Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943) while Son of Dracula (1943) featured Lon Chaney, Jr. as the Count. The Mummy too continued to rise from the grave in The Mummy's Hand (1940) and The Mummy's Tomb (1942). Eventually all of Universal's monsters, except the Mummy and Invisible Man, would be brought together in House of Frankenstein (1944) and House of Dracula (1945), where Dracula was played by John Carradine. As the decade drew to a close the comedy Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) proved an instant hit for the studio, with Bela Lugosi starring alongside Lon Chaney, Jr. as Larry Talbot (the Wolf Man), and Glenn Strange as Frankenstein's monster. The 1950s (A Monster Revival) Creature from the Black Lagoon, 1954With the success of Creature from the Black Lagoon (directed by Jack Arnold in 1954) the revived "Universal Horror" franchise would gain a whole new generation of fans. The original movies such as Dracula and Frankenstein were re-released as double features in many theatres, before eventually premiering on syndicated American television in 1957 (as part of the famous "Shock" run of Universal Monster Movies). Soon dedicated magazines such as Famous Monsters of Filmland would help propel these movies into lasting infamy. By the early 60s the monsters were merchandised in the form of toys and model kits, the most famous of which were from the now-defunct Aurora Company.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923)


Dracula (1931) In the days before Dracula was such a well-worn story, it could be dealt with with originality and panache, as Tod Browning does here. The concept of Dracula is taken from the stageplay as opposed to the novel, and the results are highly theatrical. Lugosi laughs evilly throughout; no wonder, his depiction of the Count-as-seducer is aeons removed from the feral creature represented in Nosferatu and is definitive - not until Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1994 were there any real variations on the theme. Although Lugosi is never less than watchable, his opera cloak billowing behind him as he stalks the innocent, the rest of the movie creaks to the modern viewer. The supporting cast use their stage training to ham it up (this was the very first talking horror film and no one, least of all the director, was sure how to pitch it) and come across as grimacing and grotesque. The mise-en-scene are fine however - the movie practically invented the concept of "MittelEurope", land of swirling mists, howling wolves, frightened peasants and crumbling castles owned by heavily accented individuals with strange eyes and an interesting taste in evening dress. It was very very successful for Universal and paved the way for a series of high profile horror classics.


Frankenstein (1931) After Lugosi turned the part down, screen legend has it that Boris Karloff was plucked from obscurity in the studio canteen to play the Monster. Studio execs thought his character was so peripheral to the movie that they did not even invite him to the premiere, yet it is his lumbering, pathetic creation that is now synonymous with Frankenstein. James Whale, still numbered amongst the best horror directors of all time, directs with great attention to both spectacle and detail


The Mummy (1932) The Tutankhamen Exhibition toured the world in the 1920s and 1930s, and the concept of Egyptologists suffering the effects of an ancient curse was part of contemporary urban legend. Audiences were fascinated by the concept of 3000 year old remains, and the Ancient Egyptians' rituals that ensured immortality. The film, which may seem overly slow-moving to modern viewers, introduced the concept of the desertscape and terrible, ancient evil to movie audiences. The main action takes place in Cairo (or the Universal backlot's version of that city) and revolves around a mummy who is brought to life by the accidental reading of a spell. He then hunts down the reincarnation of his lost love, only to be thwarted, and reduced to the dust from whence he came.


The Wolfman (1941) It seemed a natural step for Universal to follow up their minor 1935 hit, The Werewolf of London. Although there is a well established werewolf mythology extending back to the ancient world, there was no single established story (as with Dracula and the vampire myth) ripe for easy adaptation. It fell to screenwriter Curt Siodmak (who had fled the Nazi wolves himself in 1937) to pen a story to fit the title Universal had been knocking around for a while. The Wolf Man (1941) is a mishmash of several wolf legends, with added ingredients. Siodmak stirs pentagrams, gypsies, silver bullets and the full moon together to create a robust myth. It owes little to established European traditions, but established a new set of cinematic rules which Hollywood lycanthropes would adhere to for decades. Set in a contemporary Wales, the story follows Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney Jr) who returns to his ancestral home from America, only to become infected by a bite from a gypsy named Bela (Lugosi). With a starry cast including Claude Raines, and spectacular makeup and special effects, the picture was a big hit.

Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) This classic monster horror film directed by Jack Arnold, and starring Richard Carlson, Julia Adams, Richard Denning, Antonio Moreno, and Whit Bissell. The eponymous creature was played by Ben Chapman on land and Ricou Browning in underwater scenes. Creature from the Black Lagoon was filmed and originally released in 3-D, requiring polarized 3-D glasses. It was one of the first Universal Pictures films filmed in 3-D.

53. ROTARY PEACE PROGRAMS A special program of The Rotary Foundation was originally labeled the "Rotary Peace Forum." The concept of a center or educational program to promote greater understanding and peace in the world was originally discussed in 1982 by the New Horizons Committee and the World Understanding and Peace Committee. In 1984 it was further explored by a New Programs Committee of The Rotary Foundation. The essence of the Rotary Peace Program is to utilize the non- governmental but worldwide resources of Rotary to develop educational programs around the issues that cause conflict among nations in the world as well as those influences and activities which promote peace, development and goodwill. The program includes seminars, publications or conferences as a means to initiate a global dialogue to find new approaches to peace and world understanding. Specific Rotary Peace Programs are selected annually by the trustees of The Rotary Foundation. Many peace programs are held in conjunction with presidential conferences. 54. REGIONAL CONFERENCES From time to time Rotarians may read the promotional literature announcing a regional conference to be held some place in the world. Such a conference is quite similar to the annual Rotary International convention, but generally smaller in attendance and serving Rotarians and guests in a region which is at a considerable distance from the site of the international convention. The purpose of a regional conference is to develop and promote acquaintance, friendship and understanding among the attendees, as well as to provide a forum to discuss and exchange ideas about Rotary and international affairs related to the geographic areas involved. Regional conferences usually attract two or three thousand individuals and because they are considered special events in the Rotary calendar, are not held on any regular schedule. The conferences are arranged periodically, according to the interest of the Rotary leaders in specific regions. Many of the operational tasks of the conferences are handled by the RI Secretariat. Although there is no special effort to promote attendance by Rotarians outside of the region involved, members from all parts of the world are always welcome to attend. Attending a conference in another region is an enjoyable, rewarding and fascinating experience. They provide another facet to the international fellowship of Rotary.


I choose… CLARITY

Daly Thoughts

Sandra Anne Daly

Is your life hectic and so full of things that need to be taken care of that you can’t find time to get any of it done? Mine certainly is! Lately I’ve come to realize that I have been living my life in a state of overwhelm for a very long time. My ―normal‖ state of being has become one of feeling overwhelmed by all the many, many things I have to do, and anxiety about not having enough time to get any of it done! This has really hit home in a big way for me this weekend. I was looking forward to having four days off, and all the time that was going to give me to get caught up on some things. Well, it is now the morning of the third day of my four day weekend, and can you guess how much of my stuff I’ve gotten caught up on? About a quarter of what I thought I’d be able to do—maybe not even that much. I have watched myself over the last couple of days consistently allow other things to get in the way, and I haven’t accomplished much of anything. I realized this morning that the state of overwhelm has become so much my habitual way of living that I have trained myself out of my ability to consistently focus on whatever I’m attempting to get done. Overwhelm has become so much my habit that I don’t know how to NOT be in that state. In fact, I’ve been watching myself this weekend actually create things that contribute to my feelings of anxiety and overwhelm. Ick!

I Choose CLARITY As I remember to CHOOSE to be very clear about what I want, what I want comes easily into my experience of my day. As I consistently choose clarity, I learn that it becomes easier and easier to stay focused on the task at hand, and I get more and more things accomplished easily and effortlessly. Things fall gently into place and I experience feelings of peaceful satisfaction in a job well done.

I think I need some clarity. I need to teach myself how to be clear about what I want to get done, and then focus on actually doing it. So that’s my ―I Choose…‖ for this week. I know that clarity is there for me whenever I choose to find it for myself—now it’s just a matter of practice. It’s a matter of catching myself in the middle of creating situations that make me feel that overwhelm and anxiety, and deliberately stopping, taking a breath (or two, or seven), and then CHOOSING the clarity that I have decided I want to experience. Join me if you’d like, and let’s see how it goes!

Have an awesome day if you choose to! Love,

Sandi

Born to be Wild Celebrating the Care and Husbandry of Exotic and Endangered Wildlife The founders of Tiger Paws Exotic Rescue Center have worked with exotic animals for over 16 years. Jose' has taken care of over 1000 animals at a wildlife park in Texas for many years, ranging from camels, elands, antelope, zebra, impalas, bisons, hyenas, emus, ostrich, watusi, rhinos, giraffe, barrisinga, waterbuck, black buck, lions, tigers, bears, cougars, leopards, monkeys, fox, parrots, snakes, peacocks, and various other animals. Denise was the park manager, scheduled and was guide on tours, cared for the baby animals, and also did alot of the feeding and cleaning of the animals in the park. They transfered to other wildlife facilities in Texas, and assisted in the completion of pens, and the safe capture, and tranportation of animals to their new homes. They have worked in all aspects of animal care, safely, and have worked with veterinarians from Texas A&M and local vets from the area on site. We have participated in immunization procedures of the animals, as well as observed surgeries, on tigers, lions, and monkeys. Denise was a cat curator for the Tiger Missing Link Foundation, in Tyler, Texas. Upon moving to Ohio, they cared for the animals at various Ohio Facilities and made trips to Indiana to help out at Great Cats of Indiana. These cats are their life and their family. ―There are no words to describe how we feel about them. We are extremely honored, and blessed to be a part of their lives. Its not a easy job taking care of them, but it's the most fullfilling thing we have done in our lives! We have worked hard to get to this point, and we truely wish to succeed in our endeavor.‖

HISTORY • The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was born in the 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couple. • Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained. • Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were to 2 singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin discovered electricity by rubbing two cats backward and declared, "a horse divided against itself can not stand." Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead. • Abraham Lincoln was America's greatest precedent. Lincoln's mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation . On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in the moving picture show. They believe the assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a suposingly insane actor. This ruined Booth's career. • Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a large number of children. In between he practiced on an old spinster which he kept up in his attic. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Bach was the most famous composer in the world and so was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian, and half English. He was very large. • Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died from this.

Thus, Holistic Horticulture was born.

The objective of Sustainable Resources is to identify and support industries or projects that provide jobs, education, or basic human needs to those people that are in most need of fundamental support in order to escape the cycle of poverty. The Snyders have fascinating stories of their trips to Africa and their many wonderful projects. Learn how ASU students are involved in designing and building adaptive equipment for disabled Africans. These people are amazing!!!
