Country music legend Dolly Parton and Boys Scouts of America

Chief Scout Executive Bob Mazzuca inspired Rotarians

at the fourth plenary session on 23 June

to keep serving their communities and underscored

the common bond their organizations share with Rotary,

in philosophy and in practice.
After greeting the audience by singing her hit song "9 to 5,"

Parton recited The Four-Way Test,

saying she also sought a "short, simple, and powerful"

statement to guide the Dollywood Foundation:

Dream more, learn more, care more, be more.
The philanthropist and literacy advocate went on to explain

her foundation’s Imagination Library ,

which promotes reading among preschool children

by providing them with a free book each month from birth until age five.

The program, which has received support from more than 115 Rotary clubs,

has grown from its base in Parton’s home state of Tennessee, USA,

to other communities in the United States, Canada,

and the United Kingdom.
Parton said she was inspired by her father,

who was illiterate but "one of the smartest people" she knew.

"He knew it was a crippling thing not to be able to read and to write,

so he was proud when people would call me the 'book lady.'

And he lived long enough to see my dream come true

with the Imagination Library.

He was with me all the way."
Rotary Foundation Trustee Vice Chair John F. Germ,

also from Tennessee, joined Parton on stage to present

her with Paul Harris Fellow Recognition.

"This is a wonderful friendship, us working together,

and I hope to continue doing my part," Parton said.

"Thank you for accepting me and believing in the program."
Mazzuca told attendees that the Rotary and Scout movements

are similar in their ability to develop leaders, citing a shared history.
"Rotary founder Paul Harris and James E. West,

our first chief scout executive, were dear friends," said Mazzuca.

"They traveled the country together, establishing local Boy Scout councils.

And our relationship continues to be strong today, with Rotary clubs in the U.S. sponsoring more than 1,400 Scout units serving 45,000 young people."
The similarities also extend to The Four-Way Test

and the Boy Scout Oath and Law, Mazzuca said

. "Each offers words to live by that have served us,

and the communities we serve, extremely well over the decades."
He encouraged both organizations to extend a hand to children

and younger generations,

especially those at risk of disease.

JOHN PEOS, left, with Dr John Davies – a fellow local wine grower.

John had observed and experienced the highs

and lows of the wine industry.

John’s family has been involved in the local wine industry

for almost 100 years.

In the early days the growers were getting $2000 a ton.

Now growers – like Peos – are considered fortunate if they have their own label.

Peos’s had survived because they have a couple of distributors.

At present the industry happens to be in a trough.

John told Rotarians ‘prices were disastrous’.

John made an extensive list of local vineyards

that have been abandoned on the spot.

According to outgoing president Richard Doust,

this will not impact negatively on the Rotary held Timber Towns Wine Show.

On a recent trip John found out that the world had 3 times

as much supply of wine (bottles and the alike)

than it could deal with annually.

John did make the statement that the sooner MIS (schemes)

disappear the better because extensive damage

to the industry has been done by these.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

SMILE!!!!!


Two old women lived way out in the country,

only going into town on Sundays for church.

One Sunday, there was a strange pastor,

a very handsome man, in the pulpit,

preaching away quite merrily.

One of the women, quite deaf,

had to turn her hearing aid up fully.

As the old women were returning home,

the pros and cons of the new pastor was their main subject of conversation.

"I thought he was lovely," said one.

"He was, rather, wasn't he?" said the other

."He was very loud, wasn't he?"

"Eh?" said the other,

"what cloud?"

"I said he was very loud.

""Eh?"

"I said, he was very loud," shouted the other.

"Bawls like a bull."

"Has he?" said the first.

"I never noticed. The pulpit was in the way."
