The September 30th meeting started with a special visitor from Oslo, Norway - Sverre Stubbs. Sverre was a GRSP student 50 years ago and was sponsored by the Tifton, Waycross, and Brunswick clubs. He believes every dollar invested in GRSP is well spent. It provided him with a great opportunity to learn about service above self which helped him throughout his 40 years of diplomatic service to Norway. Sverre is currently Club President of his Rotary Club in Oslo.
After Sverre was introduced, it was time to hear from our speaker, fellow Rotarian and Paul Harris Fellow - Craig Harney.
Craig works for WTOC-TV here in Savannah as their Director of Programming and Special Projects. He has been producing, marketing, shooting, and editing film for the past 37 years. Craig's presentation was a montage of videos that had been shot throughout Savannah over the years. His first short clip was of people we all know - members of RCSE! Craig said that video matters because it gives us images and voices to remember people by. He is most proud of two documentaries that he produced. One of Mr. W.W. Law (civil rights) and the other of Monsignor Bourke (Irish immigrants in Savannah). Craig concluded his talk with a quote from William Faulkner "Life is Motion."
Our newest member, Laura Lane McKinnon, gave a "Member Minute" at our September 30th meeting. Laura Lane moved to Savannah in the late 1980's to attend SCAD. She fell in love with Savannah and has lived here ever since. She has three children, who are all in college, but stays busy keeping care of her 4 cats and 2 dogs. Before moving to her current position as Director of Development at Union Mission, Laura Lane was the Director of Corporate Relations at SCAD. In her downtime, Laura Lane can be found reading books about history.
A message from Ginger Duncan, RCSE's liaison to the Savannah Early Childhood Foundation:
The Foundation will be holding its first annual golf fundraiser, sponsored by Rotary Club South, on October 26, 2017 at Southbridge Golf Club.
Rotary South has agreed to apply 100% of the net proceeds contributed by Rotary directly to SECF.
It would be great if Savannah East could sponsor a team or two (4 players @ $125 each) and/or hole sponsors ($100 each). What a great way to support the club's dedication to education.
