Now here is a great idea
I received this information and video
from a Rotarian Friend in D 4815 Argentina
FESTIVAL
OF CHALLENGED MUSICIANS
Annual
event organized by Rotary La Cañada (District 4815)
since 2001.
Purpose: To
give musicians with disabilities the opportunity to show their work,
and to
share the stage with other well known artists.
The
proceeds go to the Scholarship Fund for
the study of dance and music of people
with disabilities.
The 13th
edition took place on October 2 and 3
in Córdoba, Argentina.
The
project originates when we realized that these musicians
did not
have a space to exhibit?
Show? their work and the community was
unaware of their existence and efforts.
so we thought it was possible to offer
artists
with special needs a chance to integrate
into the community
through their art.
This
Festival has been organized annually since 2001
and all editions attracted
considerable participation
of previously selected disabled artists from around
the country
who joined special guest artists and established artists in our
society.
There have been artists from other countries,
Brazil and Colombia.
The success
was reflected in the massive crowd that filled Libertador
Theatre facilities,
in the widespread media coverage
(print, radio and television) of the festival,
in the important projection that several of the artists had
and the good
proceeds that constitute a fund for scholarships
especially for disabled
artists.
Previous
editions of our festival, since 2001,
have been successively declared of
Cultural, Legislative
and Provincial Interest by the Superior Government
of the Province of Córdoba .
For more
information about this important program,
THE HISTORY OF DISTRICT 4815.
Covering the areas of Cordoba, La Rioja and Catamarca,

Rotary International resolution E-2-K of the Board gave
effect
to Article 15 010 of the IRR that authorised the changes in the district
boundaries
and, as of July 1 2008, the clubs of District 4810 at the time,
and Rotary
clubs in the area of Córdoba province
which had been located within the
boundaries of District 4870
, then all were then encompassed within the newly

I enjoy a glass of wine
each night for its health benefits.
The other glasses are for my witty comebacks and flawless dance moves.
Something to think about
The driver of a huge
tractor trailer lost control of his rig,
he plowed into an empty tollbooth and
smashed it to pieces.
He climbed down from
his truck and looked at the wreckage,
not quite sure what to do.
Within a
matter of minutes, another truck pulled up
and unloaded a crew of workers.
The men picked up
each broken piece of the former tollbooth
and spread some kind of creamy
substance on it.
Then they began fitting the pieces together.
In less than a
half hour,
they had the entire tollbooth reconstructed
and good as new.
"Astonishing!"
the truck driver said to the crew chief.
"What was that white stuff you
used to get all of the pieces together?"
The crew chief said,
"Oh, that was tollgate booth paste."
